As school winds down in our neighborhood, I have a few last minute teacher appreciation ideas to share.
Last week on Twitter someone linked up Chasing Fireflies‘ simple and fun idea of making bread in a can. I pinned it immediately and knew I wanted to make it but wanted to add my own spin. I checked in with the queen of spray paint to see if she thought I could paint the can. She gently told me “Not unless you plan on killing someone.” But I loved her follow up idea- just wrap a cute piece of cardstock around it. So that’s exactly what I did.
Teacher Gifts
I made some yesterday to drop off for a few friends.
But my kids teachers will be getting them in a couple of weeks…..
Needed for this cute project:
Chasing Fireflies post
scrap piece of cardstock- I used a cute sheet from Basic Grey
twine from the Twinery
cute little yellow tag from Sweet Baking Supply
Note: I added cellophane to the top before dropping it off at my friend’s house. Next time I want to use a scrap of fabric.
I used Chasing Fireflies recipe for banana bread but would love to try zucchini bread or my favorite favorite favorite bread Almond Poppyseed from Our Best Bites. mmmmmm. What’s your favorite bread? What did you do for teacher gifts?
I’m linking up this week to:
Today’s Creative Blog’s Get Your Craft On

I just shared it on my FB Page…. Ok, now I am done with my comments
Thanks for sharing!

These are so fun! I would love to make some of these for our kids teachers…and maybe even myself! Thanks for sharing Mique!
So many cute teacher appreciation ideas and only on kid in school.
I guess we should just spoil her rotten because our girl has had an awesome school year!
This is going to happen in my kitchen. I just love this idea.

I love that … I’d love to GET that. We did pies in jars for teacher appreciation but I’ve been wanting to try the bread too. Yours look so cute!

Does the bread taste abit like tin after it’s baked?
I love your idea of reusing cans! I am a grandmother so all of our children are older of course but we have most of our grandchildren near! I want to do this with them, it is the end of the school year and we enjoy watching and doing projects with them so much! Thanks for this wonderful idea! Julie(the letter 4′s mom)
I do this every Christmas with a family Pumpkin Bread recipe! It’s really great!
