Back-To-School DIY Teacher’s Gift Chalk Plant
Get the kids ready for back-to-school with this fun DIY gift chalk plant for teachers. This DIY project is a fun activity for children and is also a great way for a student to get acquainted with their new teacher.
Materials
Potted plant
20-24 pack of crayola chalk (May vary depending on your plant size)
Ruler printed ribbon (hobby lobby)
Hot glue/ hot glue gun
Directions
1. Turn your plant on its side
2. Begin glueing one piece of chalk at a time, press gently on each piece
3. Once your chalk is glued all the way around, hot glue a piece of ribbon tightly around the plant, in the center of the chalk (this will also help hold the chalk into place)
4. Fold another piece of ribbon (about a 12″ piece) into a bow and hot glue onto the ribbon around the plant.
5. Your plant is complete! Teachers will love this, especially if they’re low on chalk!
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!!!
Such a cute and fun idea for back to school!! My sister is an elementary teacher and I know she would just love this gift from any of her kids 🙂
Now this is a cute craft idea. I could even do this!
Such a fun idea for teachers. I really like it. Plus it would make a great decoration for the class room.
What a beautiful teachers gift! I love the chalk crayon addition!!! Your teachers are going to be so grateful
So cute! I have a friend who is a craft teacher at a YMCA camp . She would absolutely love to get this!
What a cute way to decorate. That really makes the pot look much more fun!
This is an adorable present!! It’s something bright and colorful and will be a great addition to any classroom!
I love this idea. I will have to make a few of these for my kids teachers. It is such a cute and easy craft to do.

That is just too cute! What a great teacher’s gift and it looks simple to make. A plant is such a great idea. How creative!
This is adorable! I’ve always wanted to make something for the teacher, but never thought I could. This looks easy enough for a non-crafty type!! 🙂
So cute what a great idea. My daughter is a teacher will pass this on to her. Maybe she can have the children make one !! Thank You
Lovely idea! This looks so interesting and it would be amazing in any garden!
What a really cute teacher gift! I bet all my kids teachers would love something like this for their desks!
That is very creative! I know a teacher who love this. Even though my kids are passed to her class already, I still talk to her once in a while.
Very cute! If I were a teacher I would be tickled if a child brought this into school for me! Love the idea! You are so very creative! 🙂
What a fun idea to file until teacher appreciation day. I like the idea of having the kids help make it too.
What a really cute idea! That is so creative, I love it! I’ll see if the kiddos want to make some of these.
What a cute and creative gift! The teachers would LOVE that. And looks like it would be fun to make also.
I have seen plenty of back-to-school teacher gifts, but none of them like that. That is simply adorable and creative!
This is such a sweet idea for a teacher’s gift! I’m sure that any teacher would love to receive this!
