These holiday teacher gifts get top grades for creativity 

We know. it’s not even Thanksgiving—so isn’t it just a little too early to think about teacher holiday gifts? Well, if you have some on your list, then maybe not. And soon enough you’ll be busy planning holiday menus, making travel plans, buying and wrapping presents for family and friends but you don’t those all important favorite teachers definitely don’t want to be an afterthought. Instead of a box of chocolates, a coffee mug or a bunch of supermarket flowers, show them just how much you appreciate their inspiration and creativity in the classroom with a project of your own. Bouquet Box founder and lifestyle/Hollywood DIY expert Courtney Sixx created these teacher inspired vases that are simple to make, totally school savvy, match any arrangement and are fun to work on with your kids. Reminder: don’t forget an apple to give along with the display!

Hot glue gun and glue sticks

2. When glue is ready, place zigzag strip of glue along back of one ruler.

3. Place ruler with markings facing on vase, with one edge of ruler aligning with bottom of vase.

4. Repeat with more rulers until vase is completely covered; if spacing is uneven for final ruler placement, position so its side edges rest on rulers at either side. (ruler markings should be all facing same direction, last ruler may overlap a little resting on top of two rulers because there may not be the exact amount of space for rulers to all fit perfectly)
