Are you a crayon hoarder? When school supply season rolls around I buy cases, upon cases, of Crayola Crayons. Sometimes I use them all, but if I see I have a little extra towards the end of the year, I like to use them in craft projects OR forward them to my favorite teachers as a classroom gift for the upcoming year. Nest Full of New has a great crafty idea for creating a beautiful teacher gift using crayons as a decorative accent. I love the ones she sorted by color because they look really appealing to the eye. If you want to take this gift up a notch, consider giving your favorite teacher a classroom pack along with this beautiful Crayon Jar! The two gifts go together really beautifully and it is the perfect blend of useful and beautiful. Learn how to make this Crayon Jar Teacher’s Gift HERE.

School will be ending soon and it is almost time for your teacher to RELAX! What’s more relaxing than pizza and a movie? Get started preparing for this pizza and a movie night gift by hopping over to your local pizzeria! Smashed Peas & Carrots grabbed one pizza box, a takeout menu, and a gift card for each of her children’s teachers. When she got home, she started wrapping movie candy and popcorn gifts to go inside the box. She used pretty paper bags, but I think colorful paper shreds would look just as great if you can’t find bags that will appeal to all of the teachers on your list. Shred will also make it easier for the kids to get involved in packing each box! Grab the full tutorial for this great gift HERE.

Afterward, show them this easy video tutorial from Red Ted Art. Let them pinch out a cute pot for their teacher to store all of his/her loose supplies in OR fill it with wrapped candies.
