End of year Teacher Gifts

So it's that time of year...
The time of year when school is almost over (just over 2 school weeks left for the year!)
When exams are on (studying with my son every afternoon, such a joy!)
And when it's time to start buying making Teacher's gifts.

I had a cool idea this year that allowed me to use my current love of washi tape and love of crochet and vintage doilies all in one!

I made each teacher a notebook. I bought a plain black notebook, covered it with white paper and then used strips of washi tape to decorate the cover. I then glued on a vintage doily and crocheted a double flower which was also glued on. Done.


Next I bought a pack of white envelopes and added a strip of washi tape to each one. A pack of envelopes.
Idea two: Done.


Simple but I think highly effective and of course, personalized and not commercialized! To me that is a winner!
