Today is the last day of Teacher Appreciation Week! I am sorry to see it go because I have loved seeing all the creative projects the bloggers participating in Crafty Lightning have come up with. A big thanks again to Carolina of 30 Minute Crafts and Angie from The Country Chic Cottage for organizing this series.
You know I couldn’t get through this week without some kind of punny present. Teachers are constantly taking their work home with them at night and, unless they are fortunate enough to have a work laptop, that means they need stores of memory sticks to cart that info home with them. You can add a personal touch to the gift of a memory card by turning it into a personalized key chain and adding a cute card.
I used another of my dyed wood tags for this project, find out more about them here. I chose a memory stick that has both a retractable USB port and a place to hook a lanyard hook. I used a white paint pen to add the teacher’s name to the tag, and put the memory stick and the tag onto a jump ring. As a sentimental touch, you can add a photo of the class or of your child and his teacher to memory stick before giving it!
I also made up some simple graphics that you can print out and use as a card to accompany the gift. I backed my printable with cardstock, but that is totally optional.
You can download the graphics for free here. I only ask that you do not use the graphics for commercial purposes.
I hope you have enjoyed this week of quick teacher gifts as much as I have! If you missed the previous days of projects find them here: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, and Day 4. Here are the other fun projects posted yesterday.
