Teacher Appreciation Blog Hop :: Day 2

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of the Thank You to our Teachers Blog Hop. I hope you're having fun and finding inspiring ideas as thank you gifts for our wonderful teachers.

This is actually my first year having to think about teacher thank you gifts since my son just started preschool in April. Here he is on his first day of school. :) He started on his birthday and the teacher gave him this crown to wear while he was at school. He wore it all day at home too he loved it so much.I've been doing a little searching on some of my favorite blogs for some simple but thoughtful handmade Teacher gifts and I thought I'd share a couple of my favorites that seem pretty easy to make.

These Spiffy Scissors are fairly inexpensive and easy to make if you have multiple teachers to give gifts to. "You're a cut above the rest" is what the tag reads. How cute is that?!
You can find a full tutorial at the blog, Crap I've Made.

These Magnetic Memo Boards are another fun project and something you can find at the Dollar Store (one of my favorite places to shop). Can you tell what the base of the project started out as? A burner cover for a stovetop. :) And look how pretty it looks. Make some fun magnets to hang notes and pictures and you've got a darn cute gift!

Here's a couple other designs. You can find the full tutorial HERE at TipJunkie. Project designed by Madigan Made. You can find pebble magnet info here too.
Thanks so much for stopping by. You can follow the Hop to my talented and good friend Laurie Star. Remember to stop in again for the final day of the Blog Hop on June 11th. We'll be having a GIVEAWAY!!
