Teacher Gifts-Orange You Glad it's Summer?

Image
I really wanted to make sure we sent end of the year gifts to all the teachers my two kiddos had before school let out, but financially I just couldn't figure out what to do.  I have a great board on Pinterest called Teacher Gifts filled with all kinds of lovely and cute ideas.  However, I just couldn't afford to do most of them.  This being on a lay off from work and now being a mom to three has really put a damper on the budget.  I knew I could make something work though, and I did. The one idea I kept coming back to was the "Orange You Glad It's Summer?"   I looked and looked for orange bags and could not find anything.  I couldn't even find an orange gift bag!  Finally I found my inspiration: ORANGE FELT.  For only 27 cents a sheet.  Here is what I came up with.  Felt, ribbon, and sewing machine.  Simply fold the felt in half and stitch up the sides.  If you want a more open bottom, form a triangle on each end and stitch across.
