Simple Gift Boxes for Teacher Appreciation Day

This week is exceptional teacher appreciation week at my son's school.  I of course, only realized this yesterday.  Yes, I know, mother of the year right? So, in a rush to prepare something, I found a cute little box in the Silhouette store.  I had planned on (unfortunately) having to spend a good bit of my day scoring and gluing to get these boxes together but I was more than pleasantly surprised at how quickly I was able to assemble this little cutie.  No scoring, one little strip that needed some adhesive (and my ATG handled it just fine) and it was DONE!  I mean, less than five minutes after cutting.  The tags for these boxes took longer than the actual box cutting and assembling did.  Go figure!  So this is what my son is taking in tomorrow for all five of the teachers and aides on his team.  I have some additional ideas for more gifts later this week, but I am thrilled to have something for him to take in tomorrow that didn't have me chained to my craft room.  Silhouette to the rescue again!

  11. So adorable! I absolutely love anything 3D on the Sil Store! I know others hate the score marks or perforations but I think it just makes assembling cuts so much easier for me. Love this idea for the teachers.
