Our third teacher gift idea is quite simple and easy to make. You will need the following items to complete this project:
 |
| 4 inch clay pot |
 |
| chalkboard paint |
Tape off the rim of your clay pot with painter's tape, you will only be spraying the outer bottom portion (you can use the brush on kind of paint as well, but the spray does the job quickly). Coat the pot with several light coats of the paint until you have reached the desired finish. Take the tape off. At this point you may choose to write your child's teacher's name in paint pen on the rim, or you can leave it off. I liked to personalize ours.
We normally fill our pots with the following items:
 |
| Teachers favorite candy bar! |
 |
| Pencils. |
 |
Pack of chalk.
or
|
You can finish up your gift by having your child write a message to his/her teacher on the outside of the pencil holder with chalk.
Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

Aw, that is such a cute idea. I have been wanting to do something with chalkboard paint for a while, but I haven't yet.
wonderful series. who couldn't use chalkboard paint...for that unknowing message waiting to be written...who knows where?
keep it up, girlie.
Love this idea!! Who wouldn't want that gift? :) and I do hear that teachers are always grateful for a lunch. I know they get so many little trinkets, etc...so something that they can actually use is perfect!
Love your teacher gift series :) I will be filing these away..are you on Pinterest?
