It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve been around here, but I’ve been having fun playing with my little boys, and working on a few other projects that I’ve wanted to get done lately. Hopefully I can share some of them with you before too long. Today, I want to share a super duper, easy, end of the year teacher gift. I realize that our school district is like the last one on the planet to get out of school for the year, so this is probably way to late for most people, but I’m sharing it anyway! 🙂
I’ve been trying to think of something I could give the teachers for a couple of weeks, and I thought I’d end up filling some kind of jar with a treat, and put a tag on it. Then Debbie reminded me that we bought these fun tubes {I have no idea what they are called in the craft world} and so I was considering using them. When it came down to it, I chose to use the tubes, over a jar, because it would cost less, but could still be cute!
I filled the tubes with Reese’s Pieces, and put the cap on.
I used Photoshop Elements to create the saying, and then printed it out on white cardstock. {Does anyone know what resolution to use so that when creating things to print in Photoshop, they don’t come out grainy? I am NOT a printable expert! :)}
Once I had it printed, I mounted it on orange cardstock, punched a hole and tied it to the tube with some baker’s twine. It was SO easy, and quick! And the teachers loved them.
Soo cute! I’ve been looking for some of those fun tubes. Where did you get them?
Hello Amy,
We are out of school down here in Florida. Your teacher treats are super cute, I am pinning it for next year. Thanks for sharing.
Smiles, Paula

CUTE! What a great idea! Thanks for linking up with us on “Strut Your Stuff Saturday!” We hope to see you next week! -The Sisters
What a cute and simple idea. I’m giving my son’s teacher a pad of sticky notes with a card on top that says “Thanks for sticking with me and helping me learn” (or something like that) You can check it out over at my blog: http://controllingcraziness.blogspot.com/2013/05/teacher-gifts.html
Love it! But I have the same question where did u get the tube?
I found my tubes at a scrapbooking convention. I’ve seen them at paper supply and party stores too.
Cute! I found this looking for cute reeses pieces sayings. 300dpi is ideal for printing. 72dpi is best for web designs.
Thank you! Yes, I have figured that out since I created these 3.5 years ago. 🙂
