Crafting a few gifts

The teacher gifts I found the idea on the internet, done a few different ways. This was mine. Ultra cheap with great impact! The frames were shadow box frames from the dollar store and the crayola crayons form the dollar store also. 1 box of crayons per frame. So are you adding that up? It cost me $2 per teacher gift!!! And they looked so great and all the teachers loved them!! Super easy to do.

You print the letters off on a scrap sheet of paper. Pick a simple lined font. Use this paper as your guide when cutting. it will make a crumbly mess of your paper. You can cut the crayons on a cutting board with a paring knife, or dull steak knife. I cut mine on an angle to show the color more predominately.

Then print off on good paper the same letter with Teachers name below in desired font. I chose a different font then for the large letter. Make sure to make your large letter a very LIGHT shade of grey so you don't see it through the crayons after glueing. I just used a hot glue gun and transferred as I went from the rough sheet.

WA-LA! Super cute teacher gift!!

For Father's day I found this idea, complete with PDF file for all the labels HERE. Kent was over the moon for it! It did take some running around to find all the pkg, but between Micheals and the Dollar store we did it. Look at the expensive Pkg and then find something cheaper! It can add up! All the labels were so cute and well thought out and clever and easy to do! She tells you how to adhere and all that too! This would be a great birthday gift for a Father type as well, or a Man in your life that really steps up!
My Man with our children on Father's Day. It doesn't get any better then this! I am always amazed that with all the demands on This husband of mine, he still finds the time to make me and our kids feel special. I love you Babe. To many more of these cute cuddled bed shots!
