Easy Teacher Gift

SOMETIMES teacher giving sneaks up on you. Even when think you’re prepared, there’s something about May that tosses chaos into the planning for absolutely anything. It’s also times like these when I am so glad that I am a crafter and keep supplies on hand. If you’re like me, here’s a thoughtful but easy teacher gift idea that’s memorable and relatively inexpensive. And it happened totally by accident.

I was walking through the drug store for I can’t even remember what, and I saw a three pack of cute vases for $14.99. Now you have to understand that once you own a Silhouette Cameo — Starter Bundle“>Silhouette Cameo, you look at nearly everything as either: I can personalize that, or I can’t. These immediately fell into the personalizeable category. The Cupcake has 3 teachers, so… do the math, $5 each.

I knew I already had the “best teacher” file from when I made these ornaments.

It was a no-brainer to used some black outdoor vinyl that I already had to create these easy teacher gift vases. The Cupcake picked out tags and then raided a beautiful bouquet that I had on the counter for Mother’s Day. I would’ve added a couple more but she’s stingier with our blooms than I am. 🙂  Badah boom, badah bing. Teacher Appreciation week was closing on a high note!

If I wasn’t prepping for a trade show, I probably would have put their names on them too similar to our Flowers for Teacher Appreciation Week pot.

But I didn’t have that time, and this only took me a handful of minutes to create a thoughtful floral gift. What finished it off beautifully though, is the flower in each vase.
