Summer is coming to an end and the first day of school is soon upon us.
Don't forget to give your child's teacher something special.
We think some of the most thoughtful gifts are hand made, like this DIY highlighter vase & paper bouquet. It's also a cute little way to start off the new school year.
Constructing the Vase:
Remove the label, wash, clean, and dry a recycled can.
Next wrap a
rubber band around the can.
One by one, add your highlighters around
the can.
Tie a ribbon around the can to hide the rubber band.
Insert a
small piece of Styrofoam or floral foam inside the can.
Set the vase
aside.
Making the Paper Flowers:
Constructing paper flowers can be made however your heart desires.
For this project, you can make simple accordion flowers.
Use craft punches in flower and circle
shapes to embellish the accordion flowers. Hot glue each paper
flower onto a wooden skewer and arrange them in the highlighter vase.
You can then make a sign or hand-written note that says,
“You as my teacher is the
highlight of my year."
Have your child sign it to add a special touch.
