Designer Craft Connection Blog Hop
Welcome to another Designer Craft Connection Blog Hop. Today I thought I’d share a quick Teacher Appreciation Gift that you and/or your kids can make. I made gifts like this with a group of children way back in 2008 I think. The kids had a great time making them and they turned out to be great Teacher Gifts.
All you need is a small clay pot and Patio Paint by DecoArt. I used Geranium Red.
Paint the pot (I painted inside and out) with two coats allowing it to dry between coats.
In the original project I used a wooden spool for the stem. I didn’t have one on hand this time so I used a wood drawer pull.
Add either a silk leaf or one cut out of paper and the “stem” with some hot glue.
Write the teachers name, “Thank You” or some other phrase with a Sharpie Paint Pen.
I wouldn’t recommend placing unwrapped food inside but some little wrapped candies, a nicely scented candle or even a gift card would be a great way to fill out your gift.
The great thing about this is that you could make several Teacher Appreciation gifts for very little money. 
To HOP around the ring be sure to see the DCC Widget in the right hand side bar of this blog. Also, I’ll be back on 5/12 with a DCC Designer Challenge that you won’t want to miss.
As a 26 year teacher….please also include a useful Starbucks giftcard nestled inside. That will really show your appreciation
CUTE!
Thank you Cindi!!
Love this Vicki. It looks like it would be fairly easy to complete and I love the idea for using it as a gift card presenter,
