- It's teacher appreciation and the end of the 2019 school year. Today I'm showing how using Dollar Tree products and inexpensive school supplies to make gift ideas that the teacher in your life will LOVE. As a former teacher, they are definitely educator approved. Don't forget to hug your teachers, write them a nice card. They deserve it!

Useful is the key. ...things they can actually use!!!
I remember watching you when you were still a teacher and pre boys. Baby Kathryn. Congratulations on 1 million!
I would love any of these gifts from my students. But even just a simple note from the heart of a middleschool child can be so precious.
Thank you so much for this video.
I agree that a note is the best! Steer clear of Dollar Tree and cheap pencils. The lead is not always down the middle and causes lots of lost time at the sharpener with a pencil that will NEVER be usable.
Perfect timing for teacher appreciation week!! Thanks to all the teachers out there shaping the world one child at a time!!! ❤🙂
Amen to that! God bless!
*I always love your ideas Kathryn! A few of my friends are teachers & this is so helpful! God bless all the teachers, I am so thankful for them, it takes such a special person!!* 💛💛
I love the crayon monogram! It'd be a great decoration for a child's bedroom too!
Thank you for this! I’m a single mom and just bought my first house (yay!) so I’m in a very tight budget. I love that we can still show our teachers appreciation without breaking the bank!
Brittany Ream congratulations!!!! 🎉🍾
THATS AWESOME! MAY GOD BLESS YOU, YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR HOME! High five long distance! 👋🏽
Thank you so much!! My husband died when I was 26 (I’m 29 now) and I didn’t think I could do any of this without him. Well I am! And I honestly couldn’t without support, especially from strangers who don’t even have to be kind to me. So thank you, it means more than you know ❤️
Brittany Ream I’m so sorry to hear that, I can only imagine your situation. I just turned 28, and i couldn’t fathom going through that. You are a real example of strength and perseverance, happy belated Mother’s Day! 😊💕💕💐
@@brittanyream9872 ⚘Hi Brittany! I just read your thank you message. Oh, you're welcome. My heart and prayers are with you. Life can be so tough but it's the grace and love of God that makes us strong enough to endure. What a blessing you have been to walk this walk and show your child or children that you can make it through any storm. You are an example to many people. Yes, its true, many would fail but you rose up and did your best. Each day you will be stronger and stronger. Hold on to the beautiful memories that you have of your husband and share those with your child (or children) and loved ones. Your message here will teach others today to love one another. We are all CHILDREN OF GOD, and in Gods Word, we are called to LOVE ONE ANOTHER. We may be strangers but our hearts are united. Be encouraged today to be STRONG and PRAY each day. Just His Name "JESUS" is a prayer all by Itself. Call on Him. He knows what you need. "JESUS!" He will provide as you walk with Him. Love, Peace, Prayers and an online (((HUG)))! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. Lynne 🍃🌷🍃
*Lifestyle Blog, your comment to Brittany made me smile. God bless you! 🍃🌻🍃Peace, Lynne
These are adorable. I can see how a teacher would love each one. Thanks for sharing.
Mrs. Byod, Mrs. Johnston, mrs. Heck, Ms. Hill! 😍😍😍😍
Teachers are true superheroes!!
Little tip - I found that heating my exacto knife quickly over a candle flame b4 I cut the crayons made it much easier xxx
I can totally see you as a teacher. You are so sweet and kind 😊❤️
There is NO WAY anyone should ever get enough of watching your videos..!! They are just that awesome..!!
As a former educator myself I really appreciate you making a video like this! Teachers are under appreciated and it’s the simple things like a card that make all the difference !
Wonderful ideas! Be careful where you display the crayon wreath! My sister had one on her front door, and the direct sunlight melted the crayons all over her door!!
I always wondered this. I have used crayons to color candles I have poured myself. Generic crayons have a higher melt rate than Crayola brand. The better quality crayon, the more COLOR and therefore less wax = easier to melt. ;)
Oof
Yh bad idea i think XD But creative x
So creative & beautiful love them all 💕 Happy Mother's Day 💖
I always gave my kids teachers and bus drivers gifts in appreciation of their dedication and hard work. Wish I had had these brilliant ideas back then❤️.
As a teacher myself, (kindergarden and primary education) the best gifts my students can give me are their drawings, hugs, their smiles whenever they see me. Anyway, I liked video. Have a great day.
Teachers are truly in a class of their own ;) My absolute favorite teacher between preschool and college was and still is my fourth grade teacher. In fact I'm still in contact with her to this day. Because of her teachings I can help teach our fourth grader.
I am still close with many of my teachers from high school. With that being said, I'll always cherish my sixth grade teacher. My mom died when I was 11 and after having my intradistrict transfer revoked for poor attendance, I was placed in her classroom. It was a God send. I was dealing with depression and suicidal thoughts. I barely took care of myself and most of the time was late to school because I was too depressed to get out of bed. I would have breakdowns in the middle of the day (very "adult" problems for a young kid.) Still, she loved and believed in me, even calling my house and making me get up when I felt like I couldn't, giving me a safe space to cry and a shoulder to cry on. She saved my life that year, I will forever be grateful.
O!M!Gosh!! I LOVE the Lego tissue box cover... Everything was great, but my kids are grown... anywho.. I 'm making the tissue box cover for myself (yes, I'm a geek)!! Thank You for sharing!💞💞💞
I want to make one for myself, too! lol!
I'm a teacher. I love all of these ideas! They are super cute.
Now I understand why your videos are so educational. Thank you. Love them
Yes teaching is not a job it's a calling! Been there done that for 25 years. I loved every minute of it and I would have loved to get one of these gifts. They're all amazing!
*These are so creative! I know that any teacher would love these--as a former teacher myself it is so special to receive such thoughtful gifts from our students! Thanks Kathryn! xoxo*
My husband is a teacher and he says the same thing, things from the kids is the best.
Mrs. Cunningham will always hold a piece for my heart. As someone who struggled for years with dyslexia back in the days it wasn't common knowledge and being called dumb by teachers she was my light at the end of a very dark tunnel. She owned a school for kids just like me and to this day talking to old school mates those years at that school make us the happiest. It was just a loving and learning environment.
My fifth grade teacher was amazing and my teacher in high school Mrs p was like my best friend. Teachers can make such an impact!
Good gifts lot of teachers in our family. They would live these!
Been with you for years..Look at you with a assistant! Look at you Grow girl!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Some teachers would prefer a gift card to Target or Starbucks, even in a small denominations. My mother is a teacher and diy decor gifts are nice but they're just not her jam. Having said that, this could definitely be another teacher's jam, so I guess the question is, what's the best way to figure out what the teacher would appreciate/could use the most?
maryinsanfrancisco I agree, these are cute, but older teachers typically prefer a thoughtful note and maybe a $5 Starbucks gift card, as they are overloaded with cute mugs and the like.
maryinsanfrancisco You know what you could do? And I’m just spitballing here... you could just.. stay with me now... ASK!
Ask. Ask them if they’re overrun with DIY gifts. Ask them if they prefer Starbucks or Dunkin.
Also, it’s never a bad idea to get to know your child’s teacher.
Thank you for putting out such wonderful videos. I enjoy them so much, especially your little ham man, he is fun. I have a love hate relationship with hot melt glue. In the end it never really sticks or holds things togegher for me. I see a lot of crafters rely on this and I just wonder if anyone else has this problem or am I simply using the wrong glue sticks? My one tip for use is this...make a dot of hot melt glue onto a piece of waxed or parchment paper and when it dries, use it to replace the back of a stud earring. I've been doing this for over twenty years and this is the one thing it has not failed me on.
Thank you Chris Harper, Lucille Moseley, Nancy Cook and Bill Stroud - the SE Arkansas teachers who greatly influenced me. I became a teacher (and a better person) because of each of you.
I've been a teacher for 30 years. My all time favorite gift is a note from the student and parent.
I was a teacher for over 25 years and would have loved any of the DIY'S from this video! Great ideas! Love your channel. May God Bless.
Beautiful crafts with lovely ways to say Thank You! 💖 I am so grateful for Mr Evans. The best maths teacher who taught me that life if about more than trigonometry and not to stress if I didn't ever understand it (or any other maths concepts!) 😊 xx
Thank you so much for amazing ideas! I was stumped what to get my son's preschool teacher of two years and now I know!
I received many awesome gifts for teacher appreciation. The one that sticks out the most was a little guy who was three. He glued his self to me on day one. I was the assistant director and I just walked by his classroom. I walked him in and sat on the floor until he felt comfortable. I did this everyday for 2 years. His mom gave me a gift certificate to the DQ across the street. I treated myself to lunch twice a month. Her kindness was much appreciated. I still see them around town and he is as tall as I am. His hugs were the best.
Nice crafts. I used to love putting together gifts for my children's teachers.
Wow this is soo creative , love ur work alws ❤️I’ll definitely try this . Thx so much fr this beautiful ideas & yes love all my teachers for whom I’m where I’m today
Happy Mother's Day Kathryn!!! 💚 💛 💜
Loved these ideas! I posted a few myself that are super simple as well! Thanks for reminding us to thank our teachers❤️
I saw! Loved them! 😊💕💕
As a teacher, thank you for putting it out there that we'd really love a heartfelt note...from the kids or the parents! And the other ideas you shared were wonderful as well!
I love these ideas! I'm a homeschool mom of 2. And I know I would love these in my classroom! Thanks for these ideas!
I'm a primary school teacher and I think these gift ideas are wonderful xxx
Love this video! Great ideas!!!! Love these for just around the house/my kid’s desk. And the ending is adorable ❤️
Hi Kathryn, I just love your personality, you seem like a very nice person to know. I wish I could live in NC and be your neighbor You are the kind of person that anyone would love to have as a friend. Your aura outshines you :)
Carolina Girl oh my gosh this is so kind- thank you for making me smile today. I’m so glad YOU are here 💕💕
Do It On A Dime- :)
Exactly how I feel! I wish the same.
Excellent job per usual! Great ideas and great energy. Thanks Katherine for all that you do.
These are great ideas. I bought a pack of flowers, and bought a black matte pot. Then draw Best Teacher # 1 in a chalk. Making it look like chalk board type idea. Still there are a total of 6 teacher in my kids life. Perfect time for the wreath something for our art teacher.
Great ideas! We always handmade our gifts for my kids teachers. It was usually a goody of sorts, fireside coffee, Russian tea, always the favorite, my Peanutbutter fudge or White chocolate munchie mix. They all knew me very well beings I worked in the schools along side them. I also did something for everyone at my school. My custodians were treated very well because they were the ones that took care of me. Turned the heat on in the office so it was warm and toasty for my arrival and had coffee made and waiting for me. Some years I would cater a lunch of my famous Chinese Chicken Salad for the schoolwide staff. It's being appreciated and recognized, to know they matter 👏🤗
God bless you and your family Kathryn ❤ XOXO
Always handy as I have lots of work colleagues to give gifts to at the end of each school year for Christmas sounds good to me and cheap!
I recently ran into my 4th grade teacher at the post office in our town. I can’t believe after 20 years she still remembered my name. These would have been great gifts for her
Awesome ideal love the Lego tissue box
Your son is a hoot. Beautiful craft ideas.
Great ideas! As a teacher myself, I love the ideas and have received a few of these over the years.
As a teacher myself, I can say I would love any of these... again it is the thought that counts- But, if I had to choose I especially loved the Lego tissue holder & the ruler succulent planter that was stained gray. So pretty! TFS
This is a brilliant idea, I really do love it, all of them! Thank you so much for sharing 💜
Such genius ideas! ❤️❤️❤️
What creative ideas for teacher gifts!! Love your ideas Kathryn!! 👒👒👒💄💄💄
Wish my kids were still in school! What a great idea.
Your a magical person on the CZcams and you’re change my life, God bless you and gratulation I’m so happy for you♥️
As a retired teacher, I love your creativity and inexpensive gift ideas. I'm doing the crayons pen holder for my grandson's teacher.
Love these ideas I just made some this morning for my kids teacher! I scoured Pinterest and saw this mason jar grow one that I loved! I took my own spin on it and picked up these super cute little wooden mason jar signs with a wire hanger and a galvanized top! I painted with chalk paint added some cute letter stickers and the word grow in little wooden letters and some flowers burlap ribbon and twine and cute card stock! I love how they came out but ❤️❤️ the ideas u came up with keep in mind for next yr
Thank you so much for this video! I have several kids in school so I wanted to do something affordable but cute. These were perfect 👌 🏫
They look great!Perfect for Teacher’s Day!
Such wonderful ideas, Kathryn! I used to teach elementary music, K-5. Now I homeschool my three boys. Help me! LOL! I have friends that still teach in public and private school, and homeschool friends as well. Thank you to all the wonderful teachers that make a difference in our kids’ lives! It truly is a tough but rewarding job. And yes, I would have loved to receive those. My boys are into Legos, so we may have to try the tissue box holder, just for fun. 😉 God bless you! 🤗 🙏 🥰
I’m making the ruler box/planter. My daughter is in 11th, I just love these ideas 🥰
I would love to see more ideas like this especially when school is about to end soon!
One of my nieces is a teacher. She would love these gifts from a student. ❤📏🖍
I love how you used Crayola, if you are going to go through the effort of making something so thoughtful you might as well go all the way and make it something the teacher can display with pride! 👍
I teach online and I am always looking for ideas to decorate the wall and shelves behind me. These are great. I also teach at a university. So I have an office that I can decorate. I teach American History. So a frame and a US map from the school supply section at Dollar Tree as the background. Print out on cardstock the initial you want. I can also use the ruler boxes in both my classrooms. My son is in highschool so we send notes and gift cards. We have an awesome awesome iffice supply and school supply plus store where we live and the teachers love gift cards to there. I do too.
You have the best DIY’s Kathryn!! Thank you for sharing!!
Great ideas 👍 thanks for sharing have a wonderful night and a Happy Mother's Day 🌹🏵️🌼 💐🌺
Wow I loved all of your DIYs they are so creative using rulers. I especially loved the succulent pot with stained rulers 👍🏻
These are great ideas. I love how simple and creative they are. TFS
Decorating Made Easy with Trina thank you so much for watching!
Great ideas! My aunt is a teacher and she still has gifts that her students have given her years ago.
These are AMAZING!! 😍 YOU are AMAZING!!! ❤
Great ideas! I absolutely love the crayon wreath!
Super cute ideas. I love them all. This week is also nurse appreciation week.
Please don’t forget the heartfelt note that Kathryn mentioned! I’ve taught for 30 years. (!) The gifts come and go, but I still have every note that I’ve ever received.
I liked the wreath. I think it would make a nice gift for a friend or family member that is a new teacher. Personally we give small $ amount coffee shop gift cards at Christmas and at the end of the school year. It's been a huge hit. I should mention we give to the teachers, principal, secretary, custodians and bus drivers. We feel it's important to remember all the people who contribute not just the teachers.
Such awesome ideas and great gifts for all the teachers
I didn't know you were a teacher?! It definitely makes sense though. As a teacher myself, I would love to receive any of these! You are so right when you say the heartfelt notes are the best, though and I've gotten plenty of those this week. They make my heart full 🥰❤️
Hi Kathryn! 👋🏾 Thank you for posting this! 🙏🏾❤️
I love these! My son is starting preschool in the fall so I am saving this for later :)
Awesome!! I need to make these with my teacher friends!! Thanks for another awesome video Kathryn!
Love these ideas, especially the crayons crafts. Teachers are so under appreciated and under paid. People tell me all the time that I missed my calling, that I should have been a teacher.
So cute!! Thanks for the great ideas!! You son is adorable!!
Thank you!! I want to make something my son can enjoy doing with me for his teacher and these DIYS are perfect.
These are super cute! We are making teacher appreciation gifts now and I will definitely be taking a few of these ideas for my daughters teachers!
The LEGO tissue box 🙌🏾 brilliant idea. Omg!!!!!!!!!!! Let me call my momma. I don’t have any boys but i have a 9 year old brother. He would love to do this!
Thank you for these ideas! Very cute! I’d love if you did even more ideas/videos of this bc I usually do Christmas gifts and appreciation week but I would love to have more ideas that are useful and not just candles and coffee cups!
Love these ideas! Thank you so much!
Love all of these! How cute!
Teacher over here! I would LOVE any of these!! Great job Kathryn!
Awesome ideas Kathryn!!! So cute😍. I did not know you were a teacher😲awesome one at best👍👍❤
Kathryn you are amazing , some great ideas for gifts , I would love them and I'm not a teacher, hope you have a blessed day x
So creative😍those kind of gifts ideas wouldn’t even cross my mind😅
I usually give my children's teacher something the children made and chip in with a gift card with a good amount. These teachers most of the time give from the little they have. So a gift card and some thing a little extra does it for me. Great idea btw!
Great ideas using rulers! Don’t know why I never thought of that?!?? Love watching your videos, you’re so uplifting! Xoxo
I absolutely loved all these ideas. Thank you
