DIY Teacher Appreciation Gifts

My little one graduates Kindergarten this week, and my big guy finishes second grade. Naturally, we always want to know what would make a nice end of school year teacher gifts. I can only imagine that no teacher wants another mug that says “#1 teacher”. But perhaps a nice bouquet of flowers? What better than a bouquet of flowers and a cute vase because homemade gifts for teachers are a good thing right? Even more so when they are easy enough for the kids to help!


Making a Homemade Teacher Gift

Directions:

  • Grab your supplies to make your DIY pencil vase. DIY Teacher Gifts, easy teacher gifts, cheap teacher gift ideas
  • Wash and dry your glass vase. You want to remove any dust and/or oils from your hands. 
  • Using a clean, dry rag, quickly dust off your pencils so they stick to the vase better. New pencils shouldn’t be very dirty so don’t waste too much time with this step. 
  • Fire up that glue gun and put two dots of glue on your pencil. (Be careful not to burn yourself, these can get HOT) With the glue still warm, place the pencil on the vase with the eraser side up. Be sure to place it straight, as this will be your guide for the rest of the vase. homemade teacher gifts, teacher appreciation gift ideas, DIY Teacher Gifts
  • Using two dots of glue on each pencil, place the rest of the pencils around the entire vase. Go slow, and make sure to keep the pencils straight and vertical. 
  • If you do not have enough room for the last pencil, use a piece of sandpaper or pocket knife (carefully) to shave off a bit of the pencil on each side until it fits in the space available.
  • Add a thick rim of glue around the top of the vase on the inside of the erasers for extra strength.
  • Then, glue a thick rim on the bottom of the pencils to prevent scratching and lead marks. An alternative is to cover the bottom with felt liner too since felt liner is nice and soft and won’t scratch furniture. This is the kind that I use: HERE. diy teacher appreciation gifts, DIY Teacher Gifts, cute teacher gifts
  • Let the glue dry and wrap a pretty ribbon around the vase. 
  • Make sure to add a pretty bouquet of flowers to your vase and gift away!
