10 DIY Back-To-School Teacher Gifts

Just a few more weeks until school starts and this mom is EXCITED! But I of course want to show the teachers some gratitude (or earn some brownie points) for teaching my 4 children.

Start off the school year right with your child’s teacher by giving them a thoughtful back-to-school gift. If you know the name of your children’s teachers then you can personalize the gifts even further. Let your kids get involved and help with the gifts to increase their excitement for a new school year!

10 DIY Back-To-School Teacher Gifts

Satisfy the teacher’s sweet tooth with these candy pencils from Thrifty and Thriving. Have your kids help you assemble them, just don’t let them eat all the candy.

An apple is a classic gift for teachers – but how about these cake pop candy apples from Bakerella!? So adorable!

I love this back-to-school teacher’s survival kit from Girlfriend Galas filled with all sorts of goodies – many of which you might have on hand if you are frequently signing up for free product samples like I am, or shop the clearance sections of your local stores.

Amanda’s Parties To Go has a great tutorial for candy apple pops made with Oreo cookies. These wouldn’t last long in my house!

Take advantage of all the school supply sales in August and give teachers what they need the most – more pencils, markers, crayons and glue. But make it extra special with these free printables from Crafting Mom – turn boring school supplies into a fabulous gift basket!

Give teachers another must-have to get through the year – caffeine! Look at how Jacolyn Murphy turned instant coffee packets into a cute gift for teachers.

Have you taken advantage of all the sales lately on glue sticks and mason jars? Good – then, make this personalized gift from Crissy’s Crafts. My love for mason jars knows no bounds.

Dress up a recycled tan can or ground coffee can with scrapbook paper, rows of ribbon (use a hot glue gun to apply) and fill it with pens, pencils, colored pencils and markers.

This crayon wreath from Moms’ Party Cafe would make a great gift and classroom decoration.

Decoupage some cool school-themed subway art (printable from Free Time Frolics) on to a clipboard for a trendy and useful gift.

Happy Crafting!
