Low Cost Teacher Gift Ideas

Here are a few low cost ideas for back to school teacher gifts.

 

 

For this school themed can, I used a container that had contained peanuts.

I washed it out, then trimmed scrapbook paper to fit along the outside.

I chose two different patterns and adhered them with Mod Podge.

Then I placed a school sticker where the two papers overlap.

I also added red ric rac (attached with Glue Dots) to cover the seam of the papers.

To finish it off, I added a tag to the lid.

 

This would be cute filled with candy or erasers, paper clips, or other school supplies.

 

I used the same method to make this gift out of a Pringles can.

 

 

For the tag, I used stickers on white cardstock to spell out "My Teacher."

Then I matted that to some pattern paper and placed a sticker along the right edge.

 

I overlapped three different stickers to make the tag on the lid.

 

Easy-peasy, huh?

I thought this one would be cute filled with pencils.

 

My last low cost gift idea is this bin for paper storage.

I got the plastic container at a yard sale for a quarter. It originially held pamphlets for some company.

You should be able to find something like this at an office supply store.

 

 

I trimmed a large piece of paper to fit along the inside.

Then I covered the front panel with some coordinating pattern paper

and a tag that says "Due Papers."

 

Cute, cheap, and easy.

I hope you all enjoy this last weekend before school starts!

 

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

 

Now therefore, our God, we thank You and praise Your glorious name.
