Crayon Teacher's Gift

I started making these a couple of years ago for my boys' preschool teachers at the end of the year. They're super easy and very inexpensive. I originally got the idea from my real-life friend, Becky's blog.

I started with my supplies:

-frames from the dollar store

- crayons

- printouts of letters with teacher's name (can make these in Word, just keep your frame sizes in mind).

You'll also need glue (I used Aleene's Tacky Glue) and your sharpest kitchen knife.

I actually glued my printouts (on cardstock) to the glass of the frames. It makes them hold a bit more than gluing to the back of the frame (I've done that previously).

Measure your crayons to the letter they will be glued to.

Use your sharp kitchen knife to cut the crayon. Sometimes it helps to roll the crayon under the blade to get a clean cut.

Glue your crayon down and continue with the rest of your crayons. I tried to mix up the crayons in terms of colors and where I cut them.

And voila!

I also copied Becky and created a "Crayola" card to go with it.
