I’ve created a really fun Teacher Printable for you and am really excited to share it with you! This printable is free of course 馃檪 and makes it really easy to put together a great Teacher Appreciation Gift…even if it is last minute!
You can print this free printable out at home on cardstock. I have formatted it so that it can be cut down to an 8×10 size so this would be perfect to put in a cute frame or place on a painted wood block like I did.
I used a 2″ x 10″ construction board from my local hardware store and cut it down to size so that my 8×10 print would fit nicely on it.
Then I sanded my board really well, and painted it with a burnt orange craft paint!
After it was dry, I attached the paper printout to the wood board with upholstery tacks!
As a warning, upholstery tacks are actually a bear to work with. Sorry. Just being honest here folks. So I suggest using a pair of needle nose pliers to hold the tack in place while you carefully hammer it in. It’s the best way I have found to nail upholstery tacks in.
I would love for you to follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pintrest and via email.
I participate in the link parties found here.
