Teacher Appreciation Gifts are pondered often in this house. You want something they can use and need. Being a former teacher I know it is not another apple themed gift. Well, this quick, bright and happy project really measures up! Just in time for Teacher Appreciation Week. With the loop on the end it is easy to hand and even easier to find. The bright buttons really make a difference.
Materials Teacher Appreciation Gifts :
You will need a wooden ruler (or a yardstick), Laura Kelly colored buttons, a 6 inch piece of ribbon and HOT GLUE (My fave is Ad tech)!
How to make Teacher Appreciation Gifts:
While your hot glue gun is warming up, lay out your buttons in the pattern that you want to use in the length of the ruler. You can stack them a bit if you like the depth.
One at a time, glue, the buttons to the ruler, straight down the middle so the numbers can still be read.
Once your button are securely adhered, create a loop with the ribbon and glue it to the back to create a way to hang it up. If you want to cover the ribbon with more buttons, go for it. I did. :)
You can also line the ruler with ribbon first and then add buttons. It makes cute Teacher Appreciation Gifts too.
Happy Celebrating Teacher Teacher Appreciation. Celebrate with gifts for Measuring for Accuracy and Simply Creating Bright & Fun Things!
