Back to School Gifts

So with summer coming to a close, I can’t help but start thinking about the fact that school is about to start again! And it has become a sort of tradition to send a fun, back to school gift to our teachers who work so hard!

FREE KIWI LANE PRINTABLE

In this post I want to share a few fun and easy, back to school teacher ideas that you can use! I created all of these using the included FREE printable gift tags.

I was really going for simple gift ideas here, because getting ready for school is already a busy time! Each of these projects should only take minutes to complete.

PROJECT 1: Excited to grow with you this year.

This one is cute and simple. You will just need some EOS lip Balm, your paper of choice for the leaf, a small twig about 1 ½” tall, a hot glue gun (I used a low temp glue gun), and the FREE Printable Tag for the project.

First, I cut a leaf using the Autumn #1 Designer Template.

Then I used the same Designer Template to make another leaf – this time clipping the end of the leaf off. Once that was done I inked it and adhered it to the top of the green leaf that you see in the main picture.

After preparing the leaf, go ahead and hot glue the twig to the top of the lip balm container

Take the leaf and wrap the stem portion around the twig and apply some more hot glue to keep it in place…and you’re done!

Project 2: Hugs Jar

Fill a small mason jar with Hershey’s Hugs. Use a Designer Template to trace and cut around the “Teachers need hugs” FREE Printable Tag. I used the Springtime #4 Designer Template for mine. I cut a 1” strip of colorful paper to go around the middle of the jar to add a bit of color under the tag. I used glue dots to adhere both the tag and the strip to the jar but a hot glue gun would work just as well.
