Teacher Gifts

While browsing through Kyla over at Funky Polkadot Giraffe's Too Cute Tuesday Linky Par-tay, I came across two fabulous ideas for teacher gifts.  Since these are not my ideas, I am not going to include full tutorials, however they can be found at Running With Glitter for the coffee mug and Sweet Peas and Bumblebees for the flower pot. 

I picked up the clay pots for $2 each at Pat Catans and sprayed them turquoise, it took three coats of paint. 

 

I then used my Silhouette and added some designs and words for summer.

I did find that the vinyl was a bit trickier to attach because the pots are curved, but overall it was easy.  I then added three coats of Mod Podge to the pot to seal the vinyl on.  I do not know if you have to do this, but I found because of the uneven texture of the pots there were spots where the letters pulled up.  

I also bought the coffee mugs at Pat Catans.  I removed the photo insert paper and traced it onto the scrapbook paper and simply put the paper back in.  I had originally planned on adding their initials, however I just did not like the way it turned out on mine.  The initials do look fabulous on the ones over on Running with Glitter!  

 To finish it off I stuffed the bottom of the pots with lots of tissue, added two small coffee samples and put in two cards I also made with the Silhouette. 

 

I am linking up for the weekend over at WhipperBerry Friday Flair, Tatertots and Jello Weekend Wrap Up Party ,Be Different Act Normal Show and Tell Saturday, Thirty Handmade Days Pity Party
