I spray painted the letter (First letter of teacher's last name) and the wooden "bag" and then covered the front and back of the bag with scrapbook paper. When the letter was dry I hot glued it to the front. I placed a stamp pad and 2 school related stamps in the tissue paper and tied it with a little ribbon. I made a card with the following message and signed my boys' names:
"As a teacher, you have earned my STAMP of approval. "
I made one for my other son's teacher, knowing that she is really into lady bugs. I love how hers turned out too! I found these wooden lady bugs at A.C. Moore and hot glued them to my finished project.
Once the teachers take the stamps out, these "bags" can be used as pencil holders, a desk caddy, or even a candy dish! They were super easy to make, and even easier on my wallet! :)
ETA: Both teachers loved their gifts! The boys were very proud to be giving them as well, so it was a win-win!
