Nothing like last minute! Here are two really easy last minute ideas for a quick but cute Halloween teacher gift and a quick and cute classroom treat idea.
I've had these clear "paint cans" sitting around my craft room for a while. I seem to "collect" things and then don't want to use them because I'm saving them for that perfect craft/gift idea. After coming across the same paint cans (albeit a little smaller) at Target in the dollar section, I decided I can start to use mine :) I decided to use them for a little Halloween gift for the kids' teachers.
First, I made a 3" scallop punch and a 2" scallop punch and then shellacked it on the cover. I added a little "bling" for a little extra touch.
Then, using my Silhouette, I cut out "boo" and added it to the front of the paint can. Here they are unfilled:
I made a label for each paint can. This one says, "Thank you for being so sweet! No tricks, just treats! Lots of kisses, Grace"
I filled the paint can with a package of Hershey kisses.
For a Halloween classroom treat, my mom came across this idea for Halloween "S'mores." All you need are mini-Hershey bars, Halloween ghost peeps and graham crackers. I found the bags at Hobby Lobby - much easier than printing my own bag toppers and cutting all the paper myself! And, they were pretty inexpensive. I then printed tags that said, "S'more Ghostly Hugs" and used my 2" scallop punch to cut them out. I glued the tags to the bag toppers and presto - cute treats!
I hope you and your family have a safe, fun and happy Halloween!
