Teacher Appreciation Gift

I wanted to do something small and easy for my kids teachers this year and had this great idea. I actually made water bottles for my kids in the same way. I just got these bottles from Kohl's and Ross and then cut the letters out on my Cricut. I chose something that would go along with each teacher, Ashley said that her teacher loves flowers so she needed them on her bottle. Then I filled them with Hawaiian Punch packs-which are just great, better than Hi C's, less sugar and calories for my kids- and a note of thanks for all they do. I think they turned out cute and they are one of those things that are more "expensive" then they really are.

The personal decals.

The Kids water bottles. We took these to the Grand Canyon instead of pop or Hi C's.

Marathon Medal Hanger

This was my Husbands Christmas present. He had all his medals wadded up in a drawer and I think a Marathon is a thing to be proud of.

In looking around on google, all the medal hangers were like $40-60$, way too much for me.

So I went to this great shop called the Wood Connection and bought this unpainted board. It was originally for FHE board, but it works for me. Then I painted it black with 2 coats and then sanded the corners to give it that distressed look. I did a layer of gloss clear sealant. Using my (my mom's) Cricut I cut out the words. It was hard to get the letters on in just the right way, I need to get that contact paper for laying on vinyl. It took me awhile to find something that suited my husband, but I really like it.

I need to make myself one now.

 The medal's are from: Halloween half, Utah Valley full, St. George full, and Painters (St. George) half.

I started selling these on my Etsy shop.
