Take it from me, teachers always need more school supplies. Especially of the grown up variety. Markers that are for TEACHERS ONLY are always in short supply so stock up for the teacher in your life in a fun way that also thanks them for all they do.

Things you’ll need:
Sharpie Markers, various colors
To-go coffee cup
2-inch wide ribbon
3-inch circle stickers
Scissors

Things to do:
1. Fill the to-go cup with as many sharpies as you can fit in it. Screw on the lid.


2. With the remaining markers print THANKS for making us SHARPIES!” or the message of your choice on the sticker.

3. Wrap the ribbon around the cup, trimming so that there is just a little overlap. Secure with the sticker and press down firmly.

Treat your teachers with a sweeter version of the traditional apple with these little goodies.

Things you’ll need:
Round, wrapped candies
Crepe paper in red and green
Brown pipe cleaners
Scissors

Things to do:
1. Cut three or four 5-inch sections of crepe paper and lay them out so that they cross over each other and create a semi-solid covering.


2. Tuck the ends of the candy wrapper under to create a sphere.
3. Starting with the top piece of crepe paper, pull the ends gently up and around the candy, stretching the paper slightly around it.

4. Pull the layers of paper up over the candy, stretching and smoothing until the candy is well covered. Twisting the top into a stem.

5. Cut a leaf with a long stem from the green crepe paper.

6. Wrap the stem with the pipe cleaner, trapping the stem of the leaf in as you wind up. Trim the stem to a nice length and tuck in the end of the pipe cleaner.
