Teacher Appreciation Crayon Wreath

Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week, and I read that teachers love receiving gift cards for school supplies and things with their names on them. This Crayon Wreath would be an inexpensive way to say thank you to your child’s teacher. Thanks to Moms’ Party Cafe for the super cute and imaginative idea!

What You’ll Need:

• 12″ embroidery hoop, or basketry hoop (or a styrofoam wreath cut in half thickness or cardboard cut into a wreath shape, both covered with fabric or painted to cover their colors)
• 8″ embroidery hoop or basketry hoop (or same choices as above)
• box of 64 crayons
• printouts of what you need from this template
• hot glue
• ribbon

Directions:

1. Place the 8″ hoop in side the 12″ hoop with equal distance between all edges.
2. Arrange the crayons along the 2 hoops.  Hot glue the crayons to the hoops.  TIP: Keep the unglued crayons arranged on the hoops to keep the spacing accurate.
3. Tie the bow around the 2 crayons that you want at the top.
4. Create a separate loop and glue the edges together to create the hanging loop.
5. Personalize with the teacher’s name and hot glue them on.
6. If very careful with the wreath, it should last for years to come!
