I know this is super late but I wanted to share what I made for teacher's gifts this year. Maybe someone can save it for next year. Heck, you could give this teacher's gift anytime really. My inspiration for this came from A Night Owl. I did a few things different so I'm sharing how I made these.
Aren't these super cute?? I just loved them plus they're really easy to make and put together if you are a procrastinator like me.
So here's what you will need:
mason jars with lids
graham cracker sticks (or Goldfish Crackers)
chocolate candy (I used m&m's and Hershey's Mini Milk Chocolate bars)
mini marshmallows
scrapbook paper
glue
string
Valentine ornaments (Mine are from Joann Fabric 60% off)
Once you have all the supplies you can jump right in and get started.
Fill your jar with graham cracker sticks, marshmallows, and m&m's. Gently shake your jar so everything is mixed up or you could do it all in layers. I liked the mixed up look so that's what I went with. I picked out the mini milk chocolate bars from the bag and put those on top of everything in the jar.
Trace your jar lid on the back of the scrapbook paper. Cut out the circle(s) and glue it to the lid. I filled my jars first then screwed the lids on. This secured the paper and kept it from moving around. I left them to dry overnight.
Once the lids were on I cut the string off the ornament and used a longer string to tie the ornament around the jar.
The cute tag you can find over at the blog I mentioned above. Print that out on cardstock and cut them out. Punch a hole in the tag and use more string to tie around the jar.
That's it!! You're done!
I made 5 of these in about an hour. All of the teachers loved them and thought they were so cute.
Enjoy and have a great weekend!
