45 DIY Teacher’s Gift Ideas

Share & Help Me Grow

At the end of the school year or during winter break… or whenever you realize what a hero your child’s teacher truly is… you can create one of these easy DIY teacher’s gift ideas.

I appreciate my children’s teachers tremendously and often look for special homemade gift ideas. As a former homeschooling mother, I know how difficult my kids can be when they do not want to learn. God bless their teachers who not only deal with my kiddos but a room full of moody children just like them.

Long list of DIY teacher gift ideas. Perfect for teacher's appreciation or Christmas.

And, can I pause here to say THANKS to all of the creative people who can think up awesome teacher gift ideas? You have such a colorful imagination. And then you put your lovely creations on Pinterest so non-crafty people like myself can duplicate them… and look awesome like you.

About Tabitha

Hi! I'm Tabitha! But, I bet you expected someone named "Penny." Long story made short, Penny is the coupon binder I started in 2010 when we were totally broke... as in BANKRUPT. Now, as a mom of five, I make 6-figures a year working at home and share ways to help you move from penny to profit while you raise a family with sense on cents.

    Tabitha, I am having difficulty leaving you a message on your contact page. Each time I try to fill it out, the name/subject/message boxes vanish before I can type in them. Thank you for including my link for the DIY Pencil Holder, but the blog name is incorrect. Would you please correct it with So TIPical Me?
    Thank you.
