Monday Made It-Easy Teacher Gift

I’m super excited about this Monday Made It!
First of all {just a quick little side note}, can you see the watermark I made?? I did it all by myself. It’s pretty easy! Powerpoint is magical…
Now you’ll start seeing those on my pictures! Maybe black, maybe white, or maybe SPARKLY.

Okay on to the goods!
It all started when I wanted to make my SLANT BOX buddy {Tasha from Confessions of a Tiny Teacher} a gift {don’t worry, she already has it in her possession, so I’m not spoiling anything}.
I went to the best place on earth for crafting–Michael’s!
I picked up these items below…

The little chalkboards came in packs of 2 {6 inch boards}, so I just HAD to make some for my other teacher friends & me. The mini ribbon spools were $1.99 & so adorable. The wood pieces were under a dollar {and saved me so much time, didn’t have to paint anything myself}.

First, I glued the wood animals onto the chalkboard.

Then I cut some ribbon {about 10 inches}.

Next, I glued the ribbon on the back of the board  {print side down}.

Ta Da! Something to hang the chalkboard! I could have stopped there, but I wanted to add a personalized touch.

I used my big fat chalk marker {which erases with water} to put a border and their names on the chalkboard.
Here are my finished products:

Happy Monday!
