Back to School Teacher Gifts

First I want to start this post letting you know I received all the materials for this project free from Oriental Trading in exchange for this post. I want to Thank Katie from OT for the wonderful gift of supplies.  As a teacher I appreciate every little gift that helps make the school year run smoothly.   

Each year I make little gifts for the primary teachers on our staff.  I find my ideas on Pinterest and put them together the best I can.  This year I came across the opportunity to partner with Oriental Trading to create these gifts.  I saw something similar to this on Pinterest and I thought cute idea I can do this.   

I found most of the supplies I needed at Oriental Trading Learn 365:

Alphabet Tiles (6 bags)

Apple Erasers (1 bag)

Welcome Back to School Pencils (1 bag)

 Then I laid all the tiles out with the teachers names and erasers and measured the length of each one.  

 My husband purchased a long piece of trim and cut the trim at the different lengths for the names.

 Then I used my hot glue gun to glue all the letters, erasers and pencils on the trim board.  

 Now I have name plates for each of the teachers at the primary level at my school.  I think they are super cute and I cannot wait to give these little gifts out.
