I made these boxes while coming up with teacher gift ideas. I like to make things for a number of reasons... because that's what I do first of all. But it also saves money and I hope to only give gifts that can be used or eventually discarded without causing any guilt. I know teachers get a ton of crap they don't really need. I hope you don't feel that these fall into that category.
I think tonight me and the kiddos will make some yummy chocolate treats to go inside. Maybe I'll even take some pictures and post a recipe tomorrow... we'll see, lots to do this time of year!
So what do you think? I made them non-holiday colors so they could be used on a desk or throughout the year if preferred.
Do you own a Big Shot? Make sure to check out the 12 days of Christmas sale at SU! Lots of good deals on Big Shot dies and accessories!
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteAs a 17 year former teacher, I deem these definate keepers! Just think of all the wonderful things that can be put in there and they look so pretty!
