SMART COOKIE Thank you GIFT idea - Teacher appreciation - FREE downloadable tag!!

With school parties, awards, teacher appreciation, class gifts, work and a quick trip out of town (whew) I wasn't able to post my end of the year teacher gifts. I know, it's summertime and school is just around the corner but I'm finally posting. Well, here's some ideas for next year! :)

For more detail see my PATRIOTIC OREOS POST HERE

Measured the oreos and cut the printed design (see other post for details)

Dipped

Placed the design side down

Pressed to get air bubbles out

Put in the freezer for just a few mins. Do not leave them in there or they will become really sticky.

Then peel back

Dipped and drizzled in candy melts

Found these packages at my bake shop but I'm sure they can be purchased online.

Our school colors are red and black and I had black candy melts but I liked the brown with the gold package.

Made these custom SUPER CUTE tags. "Thanks for making me one smart cookie" and personalized with each teachers name

FREE 4x6 downloadable tags

I sent the file to a local 1hr photo lab to be printed but you can also print 4x6 size at home.

END OF THE YEAR class gift! Have a BALL this summer! FREE downloadable!

I made these last year and the kids loved them! I'm making the same this year but using school colors instead of the sunny yellow and rainbow colors.

It all started at my bake shop when I saw this....

Ahhhhhhh....I love rainbows and was instantly draw over to all the colors

I filled the bags with each color of Sixlets candy (chocolate center and candy coating.) YUM! They can be found at any party store too. I like this shop because I can pick out just the right amount needed.

I found these bags online HERE. They are 1x8 1.6mil (100 bags) They fit M&M's (original reason for purchase) but the sixlets fit perfect too! $4.00 for 100 and they say $35 min purchase but I only spent $14.00 including shipping. (200 bags)

They have tabs to seal but since I wasn't filling the bags to the top so I cut them off.

I made these cute little tags that said, "Hope you have a BALL this summer!"

FREE downloadable at the bottom of this post.

Used my favorite punch 1 7/16 scalloped lever punch by recollections

I placed a piece of double sided tape inside the bag and pressed it closed leaving most of the tape still out. I took one side of the tag and attached it to the tape and matched the other side of the tag and attached it to the other side of the tape. One piece of double sided tape closed the bag and attached both sides of the tag! This is why I LOVE double sided tape!

I used just the yellow polka-dots for the back of the tag. The scallop made it a little difficult to match up so you can just use a round punch to make it easier.

Teacher Appreciation Ideas - SPARKLE tag & fruit :) PART 8

The boys handed this out Tuesday. Our school requested the kids bring a piece of fruit for their teacher and we had something already planned so we sent both! This was what they handed out :)

Lanyards with custom tags "Thank you for helping me SPARKLE this year!"

AND

Chocolate dipped strawberries with a custom tag.

The teachers wear their badges so we thought it would be fun to hand out bling lanyards.

I found these months ago for $2.00 but I was short two and the cheapest I found now was $5.00. They are sold everywhere. Wal-Mart, Walgreens, HEB (where I found them the first time for $2.00)
