DIY Teacher Appreciation Gift

April 27, 2018 by Arena Blake 15 Comments

This post has been sponsored by The Coca-Cola Company. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I’m always looking for cute ways to support my son’s teacher, so I put together this Diet Coke® Teacher Gift for her.

Soda-Lighted Teacher Gift

Frugal teacher gift ideas can be hard to come by, so I love that I was able to purchase a four-pack of Diet Coke® from Sam’s Club for this project.

The new Diet Coke® packaging is so sleek and pretty, so I decided to incorporate that into this gift that is perfect for Diet Coke® fans.

Diet Coke® Teacher Gift

Here’s what you need to make this Diet Coke® Teacher Gift:

  • Wooden Crate
  • White Chalk Paint
  • Red Chalk Paint
  • Mod Podge
  • Paintbrushes
  • Vinyl
  • Transfer Tape
  • Shredded Gift Filler
  • Plastic Cup
  • 2 Liter bottle of Diet Coke®
  • String
  • Printable Diet Coke® Teacher Gift Tags

First, paint the entire crate using the white chalk paint. Add additional coats if necessary to form a base coat.

Cut the Diet Coke Logo out of the vinyl using a craft cutting machine. Use transfer tape to place the logo onto the wooden crate once the white paint has dried.

Cover the vinyl logo with Mod Podge to seal it. Allow to dry completely. Now, paint over the logo with red paint so that the entire board is covered. Once the red paint has dried, peel away the vinyl logo to reveal a white logo on your red line.

Fill the crate with gift filler and add a plastic cup and a bottle of Diet Coke®. Cut out the printable Diet Coke® Teacher Gift Tags and attach using string.

    Hi, I love this idea! I know you put filler at the bottom, but did u add any thing else to it? How did you get the big pop to stay in place and not move around at all?

    Whatever the occasion for congratulations, a do-it-yourself gift is always more valuable. But there is not always time for this, because many of us buy gifts at the last minute. In such a case, there are many cool options that can definitely please here https://giftgeniuz.com/

    When choosing a gift for your chosen one, you can neglect the rules of etiquette and floristry. The main thing is that she likes it. We recommend buying not only scarlet roses as a sign of love, but also cream, milky, light lilac buds as a symbol of pure and sincere feelings. Here https://www.hummings.com/mothers-day-flowers-gifts you can find the best gift options

    After receiving a recommendation for an essay writing service https://paperwriter.com/history-paper-writing-service , I decided to use their services, and I can’t help but share my impression. From start to finish, they demonstrated professionalism and attention to detail. Each stage of the order fulfillment was carried out with exceptional precision and in accordance with my requirements. The result exceeded my expectations – the essay was written clearly, coherently, and met all my requirements. I am grateful to this service for their outstanding work and will definitely recommend them to all my friends and colleagues!

    An interesting idea, sometimes it’s even possible to spy on a couple of cool moments from games, since creativity has no boundaries and limits. But for everything you need wow gold to realize your plans.

    I think it’s a great idea for a DIY teacher gift. It’s always nice to give something special that shows attention and appreciation for their work. And if you don’t have enough time to create a gift because of your studies, you can ask for help, for example, from the writing service https://99papers.com/ – it helps a lot in your studies. I always turn to them when I need it, and they help me out every time.

    What a creative teacher appreciation gift! Love how you’ve incorporated Diet Coke into this project. The sleek packaging really adds a nice touch! For an added twist, consider including a fun activity like a Geometry Dash-inspired sticker to engage the kids while celebrating their teacher. It’s a great way to connect gaming and creativity!
