Thanks, Teachers!

 


It's Summer vacation! My kids have only been in school for a month, but they have had a great time and these wonderful teachers! So a thank you gift was in order. I borrowed a great idea from my awesome crafty friend Robin and made these cards with little flags that have "thank you" stamped on them. And then I taped a Starbucks gift card to the back. I'm sure the teachers appreciate the Starbucks more than the card, but they were fun and quick to make!
Robin uses these for a few different holidays - with a lollipop in them for Valentines day, with a flower in them for Mother's Day, and they are always super super cute. Maybe I'll try to come up with some other ideas to share.

So, how it's done. Simple! Go take a picture of your cute kid with their hand in a fist or giving thumbs up. I used a lollipop stick with some decorative paper for my flag, and used a xyron for my adhesive so I'd get a good seal on my flag. Cut a hole with an xacto, slide in your stick, and then tape it in the back so it'll stay. Presto.

Love it! Thanks, Robin!
