Ruler Necklace Teacher Gift

 I am loving the way our teacher gifts turned out so I had to share even though it's a little late. I saw something similar on Pinterest and had to make it my own. 


 We thought a little apple charm would be kinda cute but couldn't find any so my genius Mom suggested we make them out of Sculpey and they turned out soooo cute! I will do a separate post on sculpey charms cuz we will for sure be making more.

 
 I bought my ruler and chain at Wal Mart for cheap...under a dollar for both. And used a hand saw to cut them into one inch sections. I stained mine with a light stain just to make the wood grain stand out a little more, then attached the metal loop to the top with super glue.  I had these on hand but you can find them at most craft stores or you could drill a hole.

I attached a little note on the back with mod podge and then gave the whole thing a couple coats to make it shine a little.  For the apples a little spritz of clear gloss spray paint gave them a shine as well.  These were fun to make and hopefully our teachers enjoy them too!

Missionary Gift Bags

 We have a couple in our Church leaving on a mission to Samoa and wanted to give them a little something for their journey.


 I saw a cute gift bag with the tie and tag and thought it would be fun to do one for each of them, I thought they turned out pretty darn cute.




  We filled them with all kinds of snacks...crackers, candy bars, gum, cookies, whoppers, basically chocolate..they're learning a new language..they need chocolate!


 I just used paper lunch sacks, you can buy a huge pack of them for cheap...couple bucks.


I made the little tags on www.picmonkey.com ...it's free!

I just free handed the collar and tie but there are plenty of free printable templates if that's easier.

(P.S. we lost our camera during the move...luckily we found it blogging is very difficult without it)
