Teacher Appreciation Gift : Mini Note Stand
by Melissa Newell


      



Teaching is one of the most rewarding and challenging careers. In my opinion, teachers never get the recognition they deserve.  I remember my favorite teacher, Miss Hoag.  She was my mentor in 5th grade.  I will never forget the kindness and dedication she showed me. 8)

In celebration of Teacher Appreciation Week I have a fun DIY Craft.  
A Mini- Note Stand

This project, like most of my projects, is very affordable and can be adapted in other colors and patterns. 

I started out with this adorable unfinished wooden clipboard from a craft store (Cost $ 1.00). What a bonus it doubles as a “stand” since it has a peg that goes into the back of it to make it stand up!

I choose to go with a black chalkboard look in case the teacher wanted to write notes on it or use it for a calendar.

After painting it and letting it dry, I used my Silhouette SD machine and put the words NOTES and a few cherries at the bottom.  If you don’t have access to a silhouette machine, no worried, you can also use washi tape or other embellishments (hot glue them on).

Add a clear bag, piece of chalk and a tag from the Teacher Appreciation Party over at Laura’s shop and there you have it.  Cute, budget friendly and so usable!
