I have this super cute friend who I adore! She is the type that the second a person pops into her head, she acts on the thought which typically results in a “I was just thinking about you and wanted to make sure you were having a good day” phone call or a sweet little “Just Because” gift left on your front door step! Referring to her as thoughtful is a true understatement. And today, Kim from seven thirty three, is sharing a project that is a perfect “Just Because” gift! We are celebrating the letter “F” today and Kim nailed her home work assignment with this adorable “F”lowers and “F”eathers Gift Box!! Enjoy!
Hi everyone! My name is Kim and I blog over at seven thirty three, a creative blog full of kids crafts, party ideas, free printables and more! Today I am going to be sharing with you a Teacher Gift inspired by the letter F.
F is for Flowers and Feathers!
My kids go back to school in late August, so I’ve already been working on what to get their teachers. I decided on something simple and that I KNOW they need – a bookstore gift card. I feel like this way they can either choose to spend it on themselves OR they can put it toward the classroom. I always try to give a useful gift to my children’s teachers. In the past I’ve done personalized notepads, fry boxes filled with goodies, and a coffee cup filled with goodies. I still want to put my personal stamp on whatever we give to my children’s teacher to show that we appreciate all of their hard work – I just want it to be something that the teacher can put to use.
Of course I can’t just hand them a gift card in an envelope. That’s SO not happening! Instead I made an adorable gift box for the gift card, decorated it with washi tape and a flower and attached a cute little tag. It’s cute and it’s useful!
Supplies (All available through The Ribbon Retreat):
Washi Tape or Ribbon
Thank You for Helping Me Grow Gift Tag from seven thirty three
I used my Silhouette CAMEO to make the box. Don’t have a CAMEO? You could either buy a small gift box, or print off my Petal Gift Card Holder Template and apply the same concept to that.
Place some tissue paper into the box and put the card inside.
Now grab some washi tape or ribbon and wrap it around the top lid of your box like in the picture above.
Next, adhere a feather pouf to the top of the box with either glue dots or hot glue.
Trim the netting from the back of the fabric flower.
Adhere the flower to the top of the feather.
Head over to my blog and download my “Thank you for helping me grow” Gift Tag. Print the tags onto 8.5″ x 11″ cardstock. Choose which color tag you want and cut it out along the gray line. Use a small dab of hot glue and adhere it to the box underneath the feather.
That’s it! Add a gift card and you have a super simple, super cute AND super useful teacher appreciation gift!
What a great way to let someone know how much you appreciate them and that you were thinking about them! Thank you so much Kim for this “F”antastic and super “F”un project that is easy and very budget “F”riendly too!

Are you a printables fan? Oh man…me too! I love them. I think they are a great way to decorate for the season and to add a little splash of color to your decor…not to mention in a super cheap way! Love them!
I don’t know about you but Kim totally got me in the mood for flowers with this fun project. Let’s take a look at some more fabulous flower projects you might like too…
When you think of the letter “F” and flowers, what do you think of?
Happy Creating & Happy Flowers!
