Teacher Gift


Very easy & fun gift for teachers. . . Who doesn't need a sign with their name on it? I let my daughter pick out the colors for the glitter, then we were set.

Supplies:
Glitter, pick colors that coordinate their current classroom decor
White Glue
Paint brush
Spray Clear Coat, for furniture
Letters, I used cardboard ones (50c each)
Hot glue w/ gun

Directions:
One by one, paint the letters with glue then sprinkle glitter on them. Remember that if the letters are not flat, then you might need to cover the edges/sides with glitter. Once they are dry, spray a clear coat on them and then do a second coat a few minutes later. This keeps the glitter from flaking off. Next arrange the letters on whatever board you are using, then glue the letters. I added glitter to my already silver metallic board, then did a few more clear coats over the entire project. Done. You could put picture hangers or glue some ribbon to the back for hanging it that will work. My teacher is going to glue her on the ledge above her door, but I have her the coordinating ribbon (that my daughter picked-out), just in case she wanted to use it for hanging.
