There was a cute idea to make this DIY teacher gift with your Cricut online, which I fell in love with. I changed the wording from what was on the original design to make it my own. I’m going to give it to my sister-in-law who is homeschooling my nephews.

I cut out three pink flowers, 9 black flowers and 12 yellow flowers. I wasn’t able to find the yellow and pink cardstock I wanted from Cricut, so I that’s why I bought these two colors from Michael’s in 8.5″ x 8.5″.
After cutting out all of the flowers, I proceeded to roll them, one at a time, using the quilling tool and then hot gluing them to the tab on the bottom of the flower, as I went.
Putting It All Together
I cut out a piece of 8″ x 8″ white cardstock (you can use whatever you want) and arranged the pencil shape on the square cardstock, starting in the upper right hand corner. Once I had them arranged the way I wanted, I proceeded to hot glue the flowers in place. You can see from the picture where I placed each colors of the flowers.
I cut out the saying with my Cricut Maker using the StarCraft HD Glossy Permanent Black Vinyl. After cutting out the vinyl and weeding it, I used the transfer tape to put the vinyl onto the glass of the frame.
If you have a teacher friend, I bet they would love one of these. You can change the wording to whatever you want to personalize it.
Until next time.
