Back to School Wreath Directions:

1. To make a Back to School Wreath you will first need to unpack your crayons.
2. Add some liquid glue onto a portion of one side of the wooden wreath frame.
3. Add some hot glue to the same portion and press the crayons one by one next to each other to secure them onto the frame. Take care to glue them in a uniform matter and try not to use same colored crayons next to each other. Let the glue dry completely.

5. Add a ribbon for hanging. Done!

Creative teachers gifts ideas:

Giving a thoughtful gift to a teacher is a way to give something back to someone who is such an important person in every kid’s life. Making a gift by yourself adds even more to it, since it really shows your appreciation. Use items that are practical for a teacher to use or that will remind them of their students or efforts to show them how important they are.
