What a Teacher Really Wants...

As I mentioned yesterday, this week is Teacher Appreciation Week.  In keeping with my traditions of crafty shizz, I came up with something that was a combination of something I saw on the Pinterest and something I saw at Michael's. 

The list of products needed include:
Mason Jars (I used the pretty blue ones)
Burlap ribbon
twine
and these cute little chalk board clippy things

I took the burlap ribbon and tied it in a knot around the jar to form a knot in the front.  Took the twine and tied it just under the lid and clipped the chalk board clippy thing to the twine.  Too easy right?  I then filled the mason jar with two things.  One, chocolate; Dove chocolate to be precise.  Dove chocolate is just... UHMAYZING.   The other thing I filled it with is the one thing Teachers really want, but can't say.  A gift card to Specks.  They don't want Starbucks.  They don't want Target.  They want Alcohol.  And in my opinion, if you're my son's 7th grade teacher, you deserve as much as you can get. 

So here's a quick shot of the "after". 
 I thought it was pretty cute.  Something different.  And they could totally use it to hold pens or pencils or something like that.  The thing I really liked about this was I didn't need hot glue or anything messy.  I just needed scissors.  That's it!  Anyways, as always, have a fantastic day.  I'll get on here later and post the absolutely delicious cherry dessert I'm making in between typing this.  L8er.
