We often have 4-5 teachers to gift for on different occasions. Usually for the main teachers and aides. We've given out chocolates before, coffee, and hand sewn tissue holders by mama. This time I decided to let the kids completely do the gifts on their own- ish. I usually save cans, yogurt cups, jars, etc. for projects for the kids.
The kids gathered several jars and cans. We cut up some scrapbook paper and glued them to the jars and cans. We used a slightly diluted elmers glue. We ran out of decoupage glue, which would have made the vases look nicer. We used a generous amount of glue per paper strip and the kids covered their teachers vases. The cans worked better with the elmers glue.
We let them dry for a day. After dinner today we went out to our yard and picked Rosemary, Lambs Ear, Cat Mint, Oregano, and Lemon Balm and the kids made their arrangements. They turned out pretty sweet. I don't really want to take them off the garden window. I guess we'll have to make some for the house, too! Cheap and crafty- just how I like it!
