Beyond Apples and Mugs: Get Creative with DIY Teacher’s Gifts

May 17, 2012 by The Motherhood

Yesterday afternoon in The Motherhood, a band of wonderfully creative women came together to share their ideas on beautiful teacher’s gifts for the end of the school year. They focused on what they could make that would be both meaningful AND budget-friendly. Check out the amazing ideas that Amy at Modge Podge Rocks and her creative co-hosts came up with…

 
If you’re looking for something cute that you can store a gift card in, try one of these:
