Back To School Craft: Crayon Wreath

August 8, 2012 by Leave a Comment

This is a great craft to do now, while school supplies are so cheap.  I think this would be so fun for my daughter to make and give to her teacher on the first day of class.  This wreath would also be cute in a playroom or craft room as well.  Thanks Mom’s Party Cafe!

Here’s what you need to make this wreath:

  • 12″ embroidery hoop, or basketry hoop
  • 8″ embroidery hoop, or basketry hoop
  • box of 64 crayons (or 3 boxes of 24 count crayons)
  • ribbon
  • hot glue
  • Stickers

Here’s how to make it -> Crayon Wreath Tutorial

Teacher Appreciation Gift Ideas: Decorative Clipboards!

May 1, 2012 by Leave a Comment

In many areas, teacher appreciation week is coming up!  If teacher appreciation week has already passed, you can still use this as an end of year teacher gift!  Teachers love clipboards and post it notes and these are so cute and relatively easy and inexpensive to make!

Acrylic Post it Notes holder by Eva Kipler Designs ~ I work in education and Post it Notes are a LIFESAVER.  For this cute project, all you need is acrylic photo frame, card stock, 3X3 Post it Notes (which you can typically get for $1 or less!), and a paper trimmer!

Decorative Clipboard by Skip to my Lou ~ Clipboards are a must for most teachers and it’s nice to have one that’s trendy to show off!   For this project, you need a clipboard, note pad, ModPodge OR Elmer’s Spray Adhesive and Krylon Matte Finish.
