Back to School Gifts

Pinkie starts kindergarten tomorrow and because her Momma has a bad case of Southern Girl disease and hates to show up to any get together empty handed we made some gifts for her classmates and her new teacher.

(All supplies are from the Dollar Store unless otherwise noted)

Gather mini tubes of play dough (8 per pack--get enough for two per person), some brightly colored curling ribbon, some apple die cuts and a 2" scalloped punch.

First, make gift stickers using Darby's tutorial and your computer

them print it out on sticker paper from the office supply store

Then punch out the deign with your scallop punch

Grab your apple die cut

Punch two holes in it with any ole hole punch and cut some of the curly ribbon

Put some hot glue on the top of a tube of play dough

And put another tube of play dough on top

Finally, put the sticker tag on your apple and tie the die cut around the double decker play dough tubes! VOILA, instant gift for your classmates!

Next, for the teacher, gather a small glass candle holder, a pack of colors, and some sunflowers ( I prefer real flowers but wanted the teacher to be able to keep this all year).

Just hot glue the colors to the candle holder in any order that is pleasing to your eye

Place the flowers inside

 

finish it off with a cute bow

and instantly become the teacher's pet!
