DIY Christmas Gifts / Deco's

[nqmummy]

Just a place to share our Xmas DIY's. I made this gift this morning for my daughters' teachers. Unfortunately the doilies were too big for the little jars so I had to cut them down. I also wasn't able to print directly onto the doily so I printed on normal paper and cut out a similar shape and used double sided tape to stick it down. I just need to fill the jars with M&M's. Nice, simple and inexpensive gift.

That is so nice nqmummy.

Do you have the verse/poem typed somewhere so you could share it with us?

Thanks !!!

Hi Jess,

Here is the verse here:

Green is for the inspiration you give me each day.
Blue is for your patience in showing me the way.
Orange is for your warmth and caring style.
Yellow is for the way you always make me smile.
Red is for my life that you have touched this year.
You're a very special teacher just like this jar, that's clear.
You place knowledge in our children's hands
and melt into their hearts and lives forever.
You're a "Magnificent" & "Marvelous" teacher
Thank you for being my M&M.

I picked the jars up for around $1 each from one of those cheapy shops and they fit one packet of M&M's ($2.99) perfectly. So a yummy inexpensive gift.

nqmummy - this.is.fantastic!

Big Girl has already given her teacher a gift, but it is sooo perfect for her. Perhaps we can give her a second gift, or we could do this for the boy's Kindy teachers.

Love it!
