DIY Back to School Teachers Gift

08/24/2016 Leave a Comment

DIY Back to School Teacher GiftI’m always looking for fun and new ways to create gifts for the start of each school year for teachers. Something that will make their first day back to school a little extra special. This DIY Back to School Teacher Gift is the perfect way to start the new school year. 

Yoplait is one of my favorite afternoon snacks or quick breakfasts – they are easy to grab and so delicious. They also come in more than 100 different flavors and have no aspartame or high fructose corn syrup so I feel great when I eat it. My current favorite flavor is the Yoplait Greek 100 Strawberry Cheesecake, it’s so good. Lately, I’ve been eating this almost every day, which means I’ve had a lot of empty containers. I love a good upcycle project and it made perfect sense to make something fabulous out of them.

DIY Back to School Teacher GiftOnce you’ve washed and dried all your Yoplait containers, simply give each container a few coats of gold spray paint and let them dry. 

DIY Back to School Teacher GiftTo add some contrast I applied some washi tape to the painted containers. I kept them simple with black and white washi tape patterns.
