Teachers work hard to provide the best classroom and experience for their students all year long (yes, even during summer vacation!). They deserve recognition and thanks regularly, but especially during Teacher Appreciation Week. Sure, you could give them an apple, but you could also make your own DIY gift with a bit more personality and creative flair.
所有年龄段和所有努力都有DIY项目。您一生中的老师将珍惜自制的物品和与赠与他们的学生的回忆。我们为您的老师微笑而解决了一些最好的DIY努力。

3.这个植物爱好者
Learn to weave and knot a plant hanger.
My roommate is a fifth-grade teacher, and when I asked what she liked to get from students she answered plants and painted-on pots. However, plants can be hard to transfer to school due to bus rides, jostling backpacks, and clumsy kiddos! Instead of ending up with cracked terracotta and split soil, try making a DIY plant hanger instead. The DIY macramé kit is affordable and easy and has a 4.4-star rating on Amazon. The kit comes with a macramé cord, a metal ring, four wooden beads, and instructions so anyone can follow along.

5. A kit of rhinestones and bedazzling tools
Turn any item into something sparkly.
我的一个闪亮的童年记忆是bedazzling things around the house. I loved to add rhinestones to frames, hats, refrigerator magnets, binders, and several pieces of furniture that were better off without rhinestones. I think DIY-ing a bedazzled tote bag, picture frame, or planter would be a fun and creative way to say thank you to a teacher who makes you feel like you shine. This 4.6-star rated kit from Amazon has more than 3,000 glowing reviews and comes with everything you need to get started: rhinestones, applicator tips, wire brushes, and more.

7. A bowl of delicious homemade granola
This gift is quick and sure to please!
自制的格兰诺拉麦片是快速简便的礼物。我通过看朱尔斯·阿克里（Jules Acree）的low-waste sustainable gifts videoduring the holidays last year. In the video, she explains how simple granola is to make—only a few steps and about 20 minutes in the oven. You can customize the flavors as you like, so you can make a batch of cinnamon and nutmeg and another that you later mix with dried fruit or nuts. You can package the granola in a leftover jar or mason jar and tie it with a ribbon for a heartwarming gift.

10. A book to remember you by
Gather and bind your favorite moments.
Some years are extra memorable. If you’re one who has a lot of photos from the past year then a photo book is a great way to share the memories. Teachers don’t often get copies of the photos parents and friends take during recitals, science fairs, class activities, and field trips. A mini photo book like this 4.3-star rated one from Artifact Uprising is a wonderful way to bring the class together and share the students’ memories with the teacher in a long-lasting way. The photo book will be even better if you reach out to other students and parents for their images too!

11.用针刺针头的套件您最喜欢的场景
找到对您说话的设计。
If you aren’t ready to learn crochet or knitting, punch needling is a great craft for you! It’s a beginner-friendly craft that makes colorful fiber art. You can select from 24 patterns—including owls, unicorns, leaves, landscapes, and flowers—and then work at your own pace. The 5-star rated kit from Etsy includes all the materials you’ll need to make your artwork, along with step-by-step instructions and a stitch guide. The total time to finish the piece will vary depending on your skill level, but it can certainly be completed in a few days if you’re in a pinch.
12. Create whimsical designs with Perler beads
Make a star or a sunshine or a cheetah with these beads.
Some of my favorite crafts as a kid were made with Perler beads. The beads fuse together when baked in the oven or ironed, so you can create any shape or design. I remember making a red bird that we later glued a magnet on and used on the fridge for at least a decade before it began to lose its wing. Perler beads are such a fun way to make a design that speaks to you, and can then turn your creation into a magnet, sun-catcher, or 3D sign to gift. I recommend making a prototype before your final design to get a feel for how the beads change shape as they’re heated.
