. . . Teacher, you fit me like a Glove . . .

So, this is a completely unconventional teacher appreciation gift but it was perfect for our 5th grade teachers.  My son said that the two teachers he has wear gloves quite often for different projects they do with the kids or to clean so when I saw these adorable gloves I picked up a couple pairs for teacher gifts.  My thought was that I would be sending them in a gift basket but then teacher appreciation snuck up on me and I figured I could use them as a cute treat for one of the days of the week.  I added a treat topper than says "Your teaching style FITS me like a glove" and my son thought it was great so I hope the teachers do too!

I also sent in a package of cards for each teacher and principals with a tag that says "You are a Real Star" because their mascot is a star and the school colors are yellow and blue.  

This is just one day out of the week and I have a few other fun ideas planned.

 Cute rubber gloves with a little flower ruffle and then a fun tag and another day of teacher appreciation is complete!

 "Your teaching style FITS me like a glove!"

 Love our teachers!

 You are a real "Star" note cards for our fabulous teachers and principals!

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!

. . . Apple Fritters for Teacher Appreciation

Where did the week go?  I can't believe it's over already but that also means one last Teacher Appreciation Gift Idea. 

We all know that giving a teacher an apple is an old tradition so today when our school asked for sweets for the teacher I decided we'd play on the idea of giving an apple to the teacher.  

Today the teachers are getting an "Apple" (Fritter) for all the hard work they do!

If you haven't had the Apple Fritters from Target you are missing out!  They are so good.  I grabbed a package of them and put two for each teacher in a cello bag and added a fun tag and they were ready to go!

. . . Stuck On You Magnet Teacher Appreciation Gift . . .

Another day of Teacher Appreciation Week behind us but another fun project to share today. 

Today our school asked for flowers for the teachers and I am so not into flowers because they don't last and because I can't grow them to save my life so I always try to do something with a flower theme but not the actual live flower. 

I created magnets out of the dollar bins at Michael's and a sheet of Martha Stewart Stickers from Michael's.  Pretty darn easy!  I would highly recommend getting the heavy duty magnets for these but if you go with the round magnets that are not heavy duty you will want to use 2 of them on the back of your clothespin.

I think these magnets will for sure be on my "Gift" list for some special people...Grandma's, Mom's, Friends etc.  Such a cute and inexpensive gift and everyone loves having a nice looking magnet!

 • Gather your supplies:

Stickers

Clothespins

Industrial Strength Magnets

E6000 Glue

Powder

Paint Chips

Ribbon or Baker's Twine

A Cute Tag

• For sure you want to try to find the industrial strength magnets because they will hold things on your surface much better

• Want a great tip for stickers when you no longer want them to be sticky?  Powder!!!  I poured a little baby powder into a cup and then dipped each sticker in it so it would remove the stickiness of the sticker.  If you don't do this step and your sticker hangs over the edge of your clothespins it will attract all kinds of dust and lint etc.  Not good!

 • Now that the sticker is not sticky you will put a strip of E6000 Glue right down the center
• Attach the sticker directly to the front of the clothespin and hold it in place for a few seconds then lay it flat to dry
• Once the sticker has adhered to the front of the clothespin you will put a dab of blue on your industrial strength magnets and place them in the desired location on the back of the clothespin

 • To package these I grabbed a couple paint chips that I had leftover from my Paint Chip Project Week last summer

• Attach the clips directly to the paint chip

• Print a cute tag--mine says "I'm Really STUCK on You!"

•Layer the tag with some fun colored paper and you are set to package these cute little magnets up

• Use a cellophane bag or something clear to package your magnets in

• Use ribbon or Baker's Twine and tie off the top of the cello bag and attach your cute tag 

• What a great gift!  Our teacher's and principal's got theirs today!

• • • Great Gift!

. . . Cookies for Teacher Appreciation Week . . .

Wow, this week is flying right by--it's already Wednesday!  Today our school is doing Homemade Cards for teacher and since that is what I do everyday for work I wanted to do something different.  My son still made his teachers a card but I thought I'd try something different just for fun.

Today I sent in the amazing Pastel Tea Cookies with a cute tag that says "You are one sweet cookie".  I packaged them in a container from the dollar store and then added a cute tag, baker's twine and a button.  Tada!  Easy Peasy but looks so cute!

I printed out a couple cute tags with the wording "You are one sweet cookie" and then got my dollar store containers ready to fill with these great Pastel Tea Cookies and then added some Baker's Twine and a big button.
