My Monday Mommy Craft- A Colorful Gift for a Teacher

A special shout out to all of you fabulous women who will spend today carrying around a diaper bag, rather than a briefcase, who's board-meetings take place in the playground, who may not get a lunch break or even a closed-door bathroom visit! We may not necessarily "go" to work but, we work very hard nonetheless! This crafts for you!

My role as a full-time Mom is a constant source of inspiration for all sorts of craft projects from party decorations to altered art for our home as well as gifts. With the new school year upon us, I wanted to share a cute and thrifty craft that would make a perfect gift for a teacher! The crayons were purchased at a Back to School sale, I used 2 packs and all other materials I had on-hand, so I spent a grand total of 0.55, including tax! Gotta love that! Enjoy!
Place dots on container a few at a time in a line. Carefully place crayons onto the box making sure that they are in line with each other and with the bottom of the container.

I embellished with just a brightly colored bow, I wanted to keep the extras to a minimum because the project itself is already so colorful. You can add your pens and it's ready to use or wrap-up for your child's teacher!

Materials Needed:
- 1 small gift box or container. (Use one that you have stashed away in your home, the box will be covered so even a shabby one will do!)
- 1-2 boxes of Crayons, depending upon circumference or area of your container, you may need more.
- Glue dots or a hot glue gun.
- A ribbon to embellish
