Paper Paint and Pine: . . . Candy for Teachers and a free printable . . .

One of my favorite weeks of the school year is here! Teacher Appreciation Week!!

Each year our PTA gives us a guideline of what to send in for the teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week and I do try to follow it but always end up trying to do something original. My son is at that age where he doesn't want to stand out for being different so he is adamant that I need to follow the "rules".

Today is Candy for Teacher and I figured I couldn't just send in bags of candy without at least adding a cute tag. I love coming up with fun phrases that go with different kinds of candy and love these two this year.

I grabbed a bag of Airheads candy and a bag of Buncha Crunch and created cute tags and added them with some baker's twine and we were set for Day One of Teacher Appreciation Week. The two principals also got candy but theirs said "I like you a BUNCH". I forgot to take a picture of those--oops!

Now the fun part is that you too can have these tags for your teachers since I'm offering them as a FREE PRINTABLE. I think the "bunch" tag would be cute attached to a "bunch" of flowers and the airhead tag would be cute on some balloons too. It's not only for candy if you can think of other ways to use them.

This can't be much simpler! Just download the tags and print out on card stock. Cut them down to size and then punch a hole in them and a hole in the candy bags and use some ribbon or twine and attach them to the bag. Easy Peasy, right!?

I bagged them up in kraft bags and added some washi tape to dress them up a little and then threw in some white tissue paper and had a cute gift to send for our great teachers.
