20+ Awesome Upcycled & DIY Teacher Gifts

20+ Awesome Upcycled & DIY Teacher Gifts

Valentines is coming up, so that is the inspiration for this post, but whether is V-day, Christmas, Teacher Appreciation Day, the end of the year or the beginning of a new school year… offering a small token of gratitude to our kids teachers, for the hours, work and dedication they pour into growing our kids, is so important. While I’m sure every gift is appreciated, I’m guessing teachers get their fill of candles, Bath and Body works lotions, and soaps, and boxes of candy.


If you’re looking for some great, unique ideas of gifts to give your teachers, check out these 20 amazing gift ideas, created – or rather upcycled – from some every day items, to make some pretty awesome gifts that you’re teachers likely have NEVER gotten from another student before.

8. “100 Reasons Why I Love My Teacher” – Booklet of favorite notes and memories from the kids, mixed in with 100 crisp $1 bills. Not exactly an Upcycle, but could be one of the coolest, most heart-warming Teacher Gifts I’ve seen. This would be a “from the class” gift, so if you have time to arrange it with the other kids, this would be an AMAZING gift. Click the images below for detailed instructions/tutorial.
