Teacher Appreciation Gift: Marker Bouquet

This week is Teacher Appreciation week at BellaRoo’s school.  Each day has a different theme, and today is “Mad for School Supplies”.  We were asked to bring in an item for the classroom (glue sticks, dry erase markers, scissors, crayons, pencils, box of tissues, hand sanitizer, etc.)  I know our teacher is always in need of dry erase markers, so I decided they would be a perfect Teacher Appreciation gift for the day.

Of course, being Teacher Appreciation week, I wanted to “jazz” them up just a bit.  I wrapped each marker with green construction paper (sealed with tape).  After I had all of my “flowers” I found a cute yellow pail to place them all in.  I used two more sheets of green construction paper as filler for “leaves”.  This helped all the markers to stand up and space out.  The wooden chalkboard sign is from Pick Your Plum.  I finished it off with some ribbon from my craft stash.
