Ashley’s school celebrated Teacher’s Day on the last day of school for this term which was yesterday. I bought some things for her teacher and decided to DIY the packaging of the gifts. Here’s what I did.
I managed to find an empty milk powder can so I thought I’ll use it as a container. First, cut out a piece of heart-shaped wrapping paper and cover the can with it.
The milk powder can after the makeover 🙂
Next, I got an egg carton and cut out the egg cups. This is for making some flowers to decorate the gift. I got this idea from one of the craft blogs. Then cut out the petals and trimmed the sides.
Then we painted the egg-carton flowers
I bought a box of bamboo pencils to be used as the flower stem.
Cut a little hole in the center of the flowers and slide the pencils through. The flowers are ready.
The gifts for Ashley’s teacher – a box of Redcurrant puffs, a bottle of body lotion and a pack of pink post-it notes
Put everything into the can, wrapped it with clear plastic wrappers, tied a piece of twine around it and not forgetting, attached a gift tag made from cardboard 🙂 This is the gift for her Form Teacher.
Ashley also wanted some gifts for her English, Bahasa Malaysia, Computer and Music Teachers so I made another 4 cookies and sugar free chocolate gifts.
It was fun to wrap all these gifts and it has been a really busy 2 weeks for me. They had a party at the school yesterday and I am so glad that school is out for 2 weeks. Yay!!!
Wow wonderful gifts for Ashley’s Form teacher…and so do the rest of her teachers as well. Thumbs up to you Barb…
