teacher gifts

Being a teacher myself, I know that the last thing Nate's teachers want for Christmas is a mug!! This year I decided to get a little crafty.
It was fun to be creative.

I started out with a plain brown clipboard from Wal Mart. Spent a whole 97 cents each! I found some coordinating scrapbook papers and ribbon to match. I also picked up some white and brown tulle, just to add a little more texture.


I cut the paper into smaller pieces, allowing the paper to hang over the edges. I used Mod Podge to attach the paper to the clipboard. Then I put several coats of Mod Podge over the top. At least three coats.

For the final touch, I tied pieces of ribbon and tulle onto the clip.

I also made spiced pecans and almonds and put them in these cellophane bags. Throw in a gift card to Barnes and Noble. And, voila....happy teachers!!
