Crafty Christmas Ideas

Aside from buying for family and friends at Christmas, I always try to give my fellow English teachers a little something special (all thirteen of them!).  Usually it's a homemade treat...or if I'm really on a time crunch, it's candy and a card.  This year, though, I decided to put my obsession with Pinterest to use and create a great teacher gift idea.

My workspace. Thanks to my adorable husband for helping out!

Attaching popcorn to the back of each card.

Circle punch from Michael's.
After finding some adorable cards at Hallmark, which came in these cute red envelopes with snowflakes, I bought a few boxes of movie butter popcorn (the best) to attach to the cards.  Next, I used my handy dandy large circle punch, which I purchased from Michael's two years ago to create tags for my niece's birthday party favors and (to be honest) I haven't touched it since.  I jotted a little note on each tag, finished with a little ribbon and TADA!  A cute gift that everyone can enjoy.
The finished product.  The tags read "Hope your holidays are poppin'!"


But there's one more group I always put together a special gift for - my yearbook students.  They work hard to meet those deadlines and deserve a little "thank you."  I purchased yearbook t-shirts from our yearbook company, wrapped them up with boxed candy, and included a colored pen (because they do a ton of writing for me!).
