How to Make the Cutest DIY Teacher Gift!
This DIY Teacher Gift perfect way to kick off the school year, Teacher Appreciation Week, or a special gift just because to show teachers some love! ✏️🍎 It’s adorable and can be filled with whatever you’d like.
I used a plastic pizza slice container from Target and turned it into a pencil-themed gift box using hand-cut vinyl. Then I filled it with classroom must-haves—erasers, sticky notes, pens, and a gift card tucked into a tag holder from Walmart. I finished my DIY Teacher Gift off with a ribbon and a sweet little card.
