Teacher Appreciation

All three of my kids are in school this year (yay!), and I really liked all their teachers!!  I actually missed teacher appreciation week, but I still wanted to make something for the kids' teachers before the school year was over. So I decided it would be a fun project for the kids to paint picture frames. It took me awhile, but I finally made my way to the craft store to get the supplies. 

These cute frames were on clearance at Michael's for $2.99


I got these letters for each of the teacher's last names


And I got these wood shapes for only $0.29 each




Each of the kids picked out their own colors and wood shape they wanted on their frame and the painting began!
It took a couple days to do both coats because apparently I didn't buy enough paint brushes so we had to keep rinsing them out and letting them dry in between coats. 

After they were all painted the kids told me where to glue their letters and wood shapes on. I glued them on with good ol' Elmer's wood glue.



Finally I sprayed them with a sealer and they were done!

C's - We added felt flowers to this one.

T's - The bird is pecking the ground.

And finally K's



The kids had fun and I think they turned out cute!
