A Small Token For Teacher’s Appreciation

At the first of the year Allyson (our daughter, who is a teacher in North Carolina) asked me to come up with something for her schools ‘Teacher Appreciation Week’.  Just a small token that would be given out sometime that week in conjunction with whatever they decide to do for the faculty.

I came up with 65 of these ~

         

 

They are M&M candy wrappers

 

             

 

These are elementary school teachers, keeping that in mind, I kept everything in primary colors.  The little book worms, made with different sized circle punches, were sponged with Old Olive Ink.  I found black card stock with a premade alphabet to use as the black boards, I sanded each piece.  The stack of books are from the Word Window Punch and the apple is a MS punch.  The sentiment was computer generated.

The wrappers were made in a matchbook style.

• Cut card stock 3 x 9 of each color
• score at 3/4” – 5” – 5 1/4”
• Fold the bottom 3/4” upwards
• Bringing the top piece forward, fold at the other two scores – you’ll have your matchbook base.
• Insert your candy bag, with your Crop-A-Dile (or any hole punch) punch your holes at the desired places and run your ribbon through the holes from behind and tie.

Here are 25 of the 65

      

I hope they are enjoyed by all!
