For this year's "Meet the Teacher" night I wanted to create a special gift for Spencer's Kindergarten teacher. I really like to personalize my gifts so that they can keep them for years to come. This is what I came up with this year. Each side is decorated in a school themed image. I love "play on words" so I created the Let's Roll into School tag because I was filling the jar with Tootsie Rolls. ☺
I found this square glass jar at Dollar Tree. I really liked the size and thought of so many ways to decorate it. Decisions! Decisions!
Here is my supplies.
I wrapped Washi Tape around the outside of my glass jar.
Works WONDERFUL!
To decorate the outside of the jar ~ I decided to cut out vinyl images on my Cricut and layered them on each side of the glass jar.
Apple & School Bus ~ Doodlecharms by Cricut
ABC ~ Recess Lite by Cricut
Chalkboard ~ George and Basic Shapes by Cricut
(I used 2 rounded rectangles making one a little smaller to fit inside)

| Side 3 with School Bus -- personalized with School Name! Check out my "blingy" hubcaps - (love) |

| Side 4 - ABC letters |
I filled a plastic treat bag with yummy Tootsie Rolls and tied various ribbons to close the top.
Here is the tag I created to go along with the gift. I attached it to the bag of tootsie rolls using red & white twine.
Feel free to download this free tag and use it for yourself.
{Personal use only please}
