I chose to use my Cricut to make personalized cups for all of our front office workers and all of our admin. My school is a middle/high school {6-12}, so I had a total of NINE people to make end of year gifts for. I did not want to be a cheap-o, but I also had to be economical. See the pic below to see how they turned out!

Steps:
  • I simply added the Cricut adhesive to the tumblers and glasses
  • Next, I dropped some Twix and M&M's inside the cups
  • Finally, I attached these adorable Gift Tags around the neck of the cups with some twine!

Supplies:
  • Glass Mugs and/or Plastic Tumblers {personal preference}
    • I got my Tumblers at Wal-Mart and the glasses were a wedding gift!
  • Twine
    • You can get these from any craft store (mine came from Hobby Lobby)
  • Cardstock
  • Printable Gift Tags
  • Cricut Explore Air 2 + Black Outdoor Adhesive Vinyl

Valentine's Day Pencil Toppers - FREE DOWNLOAD!
Click the image above to download your FREE pencil toppers!
These Valentine's Day Pencil Toppers are the perfect gift to give to your students this Valentine's Day! A local Plywood Store that my grandfather retired from donated a large box of pencils to me to use in my classroom, and I wanted to be sure to make the most of their donation. I ultimately decided that I wanted to use these pencils as a Valentine's Day treat for my students, but I definitely wanted to jazz them up a little! 

I decided to get creative and design some pencil toppers in Google Slides. The picture below is an example of one of the slides I created.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Here is what I did....
  • After designing several different slides with different wording and colors, I printed them out on card stock.
  • Afterwards, I cut them out (Okay, I may have had a student or two help me do all of this cutting... I have almost 100 students amongst my 6 classes).
  • Then I used a hole puncher to make the openings for the pencils. I inserted one hole at the top center of the heart, and then another and the bottom center of the heart. I then simply slid the pencil through the openings... I think they turned out great! 

See the final result below!

Happy Early Valentine's Day!
