Hello friends…I hope you had a nice weekend.
Though the days are still warm, the evenings are beginning to show signs of the cool breezes of fall. I get a little nostalgic around this time of year as I know the carefree days of summer will be a thing of the past and our kiddies will be heading back to school.
Our kids have always attended a blended Engligh/French immersion school, but with the ever-expanding housing developments in our surrounding neighbourhood, the school reached its student limit last year and the city has built a new school to accommodate the French immersion program. This means the kiddies will be attending a brand new school this year and while many of their friends will be moving with them, much of the staff will be new.
We usually reserve teacher’s gifts until the end of the school year, but considering the circumstances, I think this would be a thoughtful and practical gift to give a teacher as they embark a brand new school year.
These would make a lovely display on any desk or even on your kitchen counter. Here is the simple how to:
Materials:
Faux succulents (preferably smaller, lighter ones)
Ballpoint stick pens
Decorative rocks
Pot or small vessel
Floral tape
Hot glue
Pliers
1. Remove small cap from bottom of pen and discard.
2. Cut small piece off inner ink tube.
3. Prepare your succulent pick by cutting away some of the wire pick. Leave sufficient to stick into barrel of pen. (I used these by floracraft)
4. Add hot glue to succulent pick and insert into barrel of pen.
5. Wrap floral tape around pen about half way down.
6. Fill desired pot or vessel with decorative stones.
7. Place pens into pot and arrange as desired.
Have your kiddies write a sweet message onto a label and attach to pot. My friends at Canvas Corp have the most beautiful variety of tags. This one resembles black slate.
Sweet and simple, yet a great way to welcome a new year or look great in your office or just sitting on your kitchen counter.
Thank you so much for stopping by.
Wishing you a great new week!
much love,
Such a cute idea!
What a great idea!
When I worked at a florist we used silk flowers to top our pens. Love the succulents and the idea to use a vessel with stones as the holder. Smarty pants! Where do you buy your faux succulents? I want to make one for myself too!
What a great idea!! Pretty and fun!
You are very talented! This is such a cute idea 🙂
Great idea! It looks so cute!
I love these! So adorable. x
What a lovely and sweet idea! I don’t have any kids so I think I’ll make one of these for myself!
Lucy,
That is absolutely darling………..what a great gift any teacher would love, or even for a person who works in
an office or for a home desk as well. Cute cute cute.
Blessings, Nellie
Again you come up with something so cute and practical. I think a teacher would love this! Actually, I think anybody would like this. Great idea!
Lucy this is adorable.
I can’t think of a more practical way to bring greenery onto a desk. Buggar the teacher – I’m making one for myself
(plus I don’t have any kids so there are no actual teachers to give them to 😉 )

PS
I’ve not only ‘pinned’ this lovely little tute, but I’m also sharing it on my FB page as a cool DIY Father’s Day present (in Australia it’s 6th Sept).

Where did you get the white pot?
I’ll take note of this idea. I have a favorite teacher, he is very honest. She is loyal to her students and even helps with advice. She is recommended to our class WritingJudge Here each of us, based on the reviews, chose an assistant. The most important thing is to learn the written composition and retell it. This definitely guaranteed a high score for this teacher. I think that as a token of gratitude for the advice, I will give her a pen, which I will make according to your instructions.
I think it’s also great to write a letter to a teacher. I think the teacher will be very surprised and happy. I made such a gift to my teacher and she was very happy. I ordered an essay in one of the services Writersperhour, but before that, I read the reviews on https://essayservicescanner.com/writersperhour-review/ about the services, that got quality work. But my teacher was fascinated by my postcard.
Hm, nice

Great ideas for a gift for a teacher. I think teachers are also pleased when pupils send a good letter of congratulations, without mistakes. That’s why I run my blog, https://legitwritingservices.com/blog/gre-essay-writing-tips/, where I try to teach children how to write good essays. I really advise you to come and have a look, you can learn a lot.

School is great times, but some teachers assign difficult assignments, including essays. Often I use the service at this link: https://www.brillassignment.co.uk/law-assignment-writing-uk-services/ because this service helps to solve any school assignments to have a good relationship with their teachers and be successful enough in learning.
