These photo holders are made with 2″ wooden ball knobs.
Cut a slit at an angle in the ball. Paint ball with primer.
Paint balls with acrylic paint and or paint pens. Outline designs with Sharpie marker (or black paint pen) if desired. Once dry, seal ball with clear spray paint or clear varnish.
Download the “Thank You For A Picture Perfect Year” Card and print on card-stock. Place in ball, wrap up and you have a cute little gift.
No time to paint the balls? Just wrap up a cute picture frame — you could even “frame” a gift card. Attach a gift tag and you are all set.
Thank You For A Perfect Year Teacher Appreciation Gift Tags
thanks for the great idea, i want to try this one and maybe i can give this withe a little add-on not only for teachers but also to my friends.
You always have such great ideas here! Thanks for all the inspiration1
Already completed my teacher gifts…but I plan on using this as a thank-you for gramma and grampa for keeping my kids for a week this summer! Great craft! Love your site…
I am a teacher and love this idea but am going to use it in a different way. I am giving each one of my parent volunteers a framed picture of their child but couldn’t quite figure out what to say with it. Now I know! Thanks for the idea! 🙂
These are SO cute….I can’t wait to make some for myself!
🙂
This is a great idea!
What a really cute gift idea 🙂
This is a wonderful craft. I do believe that I will need to make a few of these. Thanks for idea. It has so many uses!!
Wish I would have done this instead of just sending money to the room mom! Great idea!
what a GREAT idea!!! thanks for sharing!!!
Now THAT is a GREAT idea!!!
Thank you so much for sharing!
This is soooo cute and I’m sure teacher’s will enjoy receiving such a useful item.
Thanks for the clarification! Love your site!!
My husband cut the slits with a scroll saw.
The knobs are flat on the bottom so they don’t roll.
So cute…how did you cut the slit? and the ball doesn’t fall over. Hmm? Very cute!
