Back to School Teacher Gift Idea

Gift this sugar scrub teacher gift for back to school and put a smile on any teacher's face!

Print Project Pin Project Rate Project

Supplies

• Mason jar I used the Ball sharing jars because of their pencil like shape.
• Pink fabric
• Yellow ribbon
• Fiber fill
• Printed pineapple tags
• Scissors
• Hole punch

Instructions

• Start by adding your sugar scrub to your jar. I wanted the gift to look as much like a pencil as possible so I made an eraser top. Just use a small piece of pink fabric cut slightly larger than my mason jar lid with scissors.
• I then added a small amount of fiber fill under the fabric and put the lid on the jar as shown below.
• You will also need to print the pineapple tags, cut out using scissors, and punch a hole in the top. Then tie this around your jar using some yellow ribbon.
