Can you believe I actually used pinterest seach for "non-cheesy Valentine's gifts"? Yes, I did.
I really don't like the cheesy stuff - Thanks a latte for everything you do, Because of you I'm a real smartie and similar...
,
Laura and I had a little discussion because I said I'm sure our South African people don't go in for the cheesy. What do you guys think?
I saw this idea with craft books but it gave me the idea so off I went and 30 minutes later, they were all done.
- A5 teal notebooks - CNA, R18 for 2
- Lovely heart tape - from Lesley in Ireland :)
- Teal pencils - Pick and Pay, about R7 for 4
- Red washi tape - somewhere on etsy ages ago
- Labels - free on a blog also ages ago (I often save til a Friday, print and delete - there's too much out there to keep everything...unless I paid for it :))
- Baker's twine - Paper Peony

| self-explanatory |
 |
| different patterns |
 |
| some tape around the pencils |
 |
| and then adhered with washi tape so it will come off without pulling the cover |
 |
| I made some A6 ones for my kids too |
 |
| stamped different patterns on the covers with a heart stamp |
 |
| wrap in cellophane bags (I bought 100 years ago...about 60% through now), attach tags with bakers twine and voila! |
(if I say so myself)
The kids put them on the desks and the teachers didn't say anything to me or the kids which cheesed me off. But oh well, I had fun making them... although they won't be getting anything from me again!
What do you think?
Do you like cheesy?
I can't believe the teachers didn't mention the gifts! How rude, especially since they are so obviously done with thought and love.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. Wow, how rude of the teachers...
ReplyDeleteNo way the teachers didn't acknowledge the gifts? That's just bad manners.
ReplyDeleteI think they are beautiful and very appropriate,
Valentines gifts for teachers? Wow...
ReplyDeleteI didn't even send Christmas gifts for my son's teachers after about grade 3! :P
DeleteThese are gorgeous. I cannot believe the teacher's did not say anything.
ReplyDeleteNo we don't do cheesy ;-) Actually Valentines is something I would much rather forget. Love your teacher gifts.
ReplyDeleteOh you know I would totally love this! I can not believe the teachers did not say a thing! We got thanked for the simplest little choccie.
ReplyDeleteReason #472 we don't like the school! So sad! It would have taken two seconds to throw out a "thanks!"
ReplyDeleteI LOVE them! And no, there's no cheesy business happening in these parts. Very rude of teachers not to thank the kids. I would call them on it!
ReplyDeleteThought i recognized the tape, glad it came in handy -they looked FAB!!
ReplyDeleteStrongly dislike bad manners : ( xx
