End of Year Teacher Gifts

Lucky for us (I guess), school just ended today.  So, I had plenty of time to see all the great ideas for Teacher gifts.  Here is what we gave to our teachers this year.

I saw these cute boxes on Shalet's blog.  She has a knack for finding lots of cute projects out there.

I stumbled across these book shapes (I am looking forward to a fall pumpkin or maybe a pineapple, hmmm).  The tutorial can be found here at CheekyMagpie.  I like using old mini-boden catalogs for this project, the colored pages brighten it up.  The black and white version is classic.  So easy and fun to make.

This is what I did differently for this  - I used course sand paper and sanded the edges to smooth them (be careful or you can tear pages).
