Materials Needed:
Step 1: Personalise with Cricut Stickers
For this Easter project, I used a cute carrot with “Happy Easter” cut out in the centre. Once the design is ready, print out the teacher’s name as a basic cut to add to the carrot design.
You can also see some other fun designs here:
Using your Cricut machine, cut out the vinyl, and then carefully peel off the excess vinyl to leave just the design and teacher’s name. Stick these vinyl decals onto the small jars. This step is an easy one for the kids to help with, letting them place the personalised sticker on the jar themselves!
Step 2: Make Cardboard Easter Eggs for Top
Step 2: Make Cardboard Easter Eggs for the Top
Next, create some Easter-themed decorations to top off your jars. Using Cricut Design Space, find an egg template and cut it out from cardboard. The design can be as simple or intricate as you like. Once cut, glue the cardboard egg shapes together to form a 3D effect.
Here are some templates you can use:
To give the gift a little extra flair, use different-sized eggs and make them different heights on the skewers for an added dimension. Glue the skewers to the back of the eggs and attach the skewers to the top of the jars. The variation in heights will give a whimsical and playful look to your Easter gift.
Step 3: Fill the Jars with Treats
The final step is to fill the jars with delicious treats. You can fill them with chocolates, lollies, or any Easter-themed goodies. The kids can even help choose the treats and carefully fill the jars, adding their own personal touch to the gift.
Step 4: Add Ribbon for a Finishing Touch
For an added pop of colour and a finished look, tie a ribbon around the neck of each jar. You can use a simple bow or a more intricate knot depending on your preferred style. This will complete the Easter teacher gift and make it look even more special.
This DIY Easter Teacher Gift project is a fun, easy, and heartfelt way to show your teacher appreciation. It’s a great activity for kids to be involved in and allows for plenty of creative freedom.
Have fun getting crafty this Easter!
