This is still one of my favorite “Meet the Teacher” night gifts I ever created for one of Spencer’s teachers.
I really like to personalize my gifts so that they can keep them for years to come. 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 the supplies I used:
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 1 with Chalkboard |
 |
| Side 2 with Apple |
 |
| 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.

this is such a great idea Tracy!!
I’ll be featuring you this week @ Inspire Me Fridays,
thanks so much for linking up!
LOVE it and plan to use it. I have not crafted for the teachers in a long time due to family circumstances but I am so excited to do it this year! Thanks for the great idea. I bought these super cute buckets at Target that look like writing paper on the outside so filling them with tootsie rolls and using this tag will be perfect.
Your project sounds awesome Debbie 🙂 ~ Tracy
