Teacher Gift ideas

2010-01-05T14:08:00.000-08:00

I made these for my kid's teachers this last Christmas... I saw the idea on Sister's Stuff. This is really simple and easy gift and I heard all the teachers LOVED them! I used about 4 dozen new pencils to fill the jar, and the jar is a 1 quart size (I think).

If you want to do these for end of the year gifts, let me know- the size of the vinyl is about 3x3 I believe and the cost is $5.00.

I filled one jar with some treats for people other than teachers and they still look stunning!
