A Homemade Gift

For Christmas I was determined to make a few homemade gifts. While, I did not do as good as I wanted I did make this for Bryn's fabulous preschool teacher and I think it turned out pretty great. I found the idea here. I love the paper she used! She gives step by step directions...super simple and a lot of fun!


I started with an empty bead container.


I traced the shape of the container onto patterned paper and used stickers to spell out her teacher's name.


We filled it with a lot of goodies...definitely the best part.
We used homemade magnets, hand sanitizer, shout wipes, clips, stickers, chapstick, mints and some Christmas candy.


Brynlee helped put on the final touch and VIOLA!
At least we got one project accomplished, which for us is BIG!

That is adorable! I think I might just try to make some of those for the boys' teachers. It is great to see your adorable kids!
