    Oh my gosh this is so cute! My son was trying to figure out something to make for his new teacher, this is it! I think she would totally love this!

    That is cute. I don’t give my kids teachers a back to school gift, but this would be good for teacher’s appreciation week in May.

    What an adorable gift for any teacher! Our teachers do so much for our kids. I think it’s great to show our appreciation.

    No stinking way! Super cute!!! This is a genius craft idea and simple enough for my kids to make too. Not only do I want to make one for all our teacher friends, I want one for our school room too – thanks so much for sharing this inspiration, I’m going to share it everywhere now 😀

    I normally hate teacher gift posts because my sister is a teacher and honestly, most of the back to school gifts she gets are junk. (Of course she displays them with pride and is very grateful for the affection!) She does send me photos asking what the heck she should do with more handmade crap lol. This is actually an AWESOME project! Love it!!!
