Vinyl Crafts Make Great Gifts for Teachers

If you're the typical mom, you struggle each year finding the right Christmas gift for your children's teather. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it can be difficult to find a gift that is economical, functional, and shows that you actually put some thought into it. Last year we made 6" decorative tiles using vinyl lettering, with a quote about teachers. This year, however, we made customized pencil holders that turned out to be really cute!

What you need:

• Small Glass Jar (I got these at Walmart)


• Some ribbon (I chose red because it's a Christmas gift)


• Some pencils (Got these at the dollar store)


• Custom Vinyl Lettering (available at wallstamps.net)

First, you have to get your glass jars, so you know what size of vinyl lettering to get. I got glass jars that were about 4x4" square. Next, you need to get your custom vinyl letters to put the design on the glass. If you email anna@wallstamps.net, she can make the lettering to fit whichever glass container size you select (but it's better not to go smaller than 4x4).

After you have your vinyl, you simply affix it to the glass jar. Tie the ribbon around the top, and fill it full of pencils. Now, you have a gift that was economical, thoughtful, and sure to get lots of use and attention by your child's teacher.
