12 Brilliant Back To School DIY Teacher Gifts

By Manuela Williams

Thoughtful DIY Gifts for Teachers.

Where did the summer go? Back to school is right around the corner! I think teachers always appreciate a thoughtful gift whether it’s the beginning or end of the year, or even just because. I’ve collected some of my favorite DIY Gifts for Teachers that I’m sure they will love!

12 Brilliant Back To School DIY Teacher Gifts- If you want to thank your kids' teachers at the end of the school year or start the year off with a nice present, then you have to make one of these DIY gifts for teachers! | #DIYgift #homemadeGift #backToSchool #teacherGifts #ACultivatedNest

Make these fun and easy DIY presents for your kids’ teachers as a little expression of gratitude and appreciation for all they do! You don’t even need to be super crafty!

12 DIY Teacher Gift Ideas

Teachers are so very special so it makes sense to give them a gift to show your appreciation. These adorable gifts are sure to warm their heart and make them feel great about the upcoming school year.

  • Have your kids help! Even kindergarteners love making gifts for people. A great way to keep your child involved is by having them help. Plus, it’s fun!
  • Gift cards are always appreciated. Add a gift card to a local shop or restaurant with the gift. While it’s not required, it is another way to show your appreciation.
  • Don’t worry about your craft skills. It’s completely fine if you aren’t the best crafter in the world. It’s the thought that counts!
