Mothers Day/Teacher Appreciation gift DIY only cost 39 Cents Each!

Hello Friends! 

Are you looking for a quick, inexpensive gift for the ladies/teachers in your life? Whether they are teachers or mothers this idea will work for all of them! Something the kids can help with? Something that wont break the bank?  Here is my idea... A ribbon book mark  attached to some flower seeds. The kids are going to color and create a card with this quote inside..

With Freedom, books, flowers and the moon, who could not be happy?-Oscar Wilde

Wishing your the Happiest of Mothers days!

 Guess what...it only cost me 39 cents*!! 

Here is how it comes together

You will need:

approx 4 inches of ribbon $0.11

a lighter to seal the ribbon edges 

magnetic tape (I bought mine from Walmart)$.02

a seed packet $.20

half a card stock sheet for the card $.01

and a gift bag $.05

*these are per 1 gift prices

To make the book mark just cut the ribbon to about 4 inches in length and using the lighter hover the ribbon near the flame until the ends barely begin to melt. (this is NOT the kid helping part. Adults only playing with fire please)This step will prevent the ribbon from fraying. You could also use frey check if you don't want to use fire.

Next attach the magnetic tape

The ends will now be able to stick to each other with a page or two in between them in a favorite book. 

I loved this and it was very quick and easy to put together too. In fact when Sarah (my cute 2nd grader) saw what I had done she was very excited to help make an card and put one together for her teacher at school. WINNING!! 

What are your plans for mothers day? We would love to hear!!
