teacher christmas gifts part 2

This gift never gets old. I have used it for a. ton. of different holidays, and you will see why! BFF took me to a class 3 years ago, and this was one of the easy "make-n-takes".
This is what I call "The French Fry Box"...imagine that...because it is a french fry box!(I don't do tutorials, so be forewarned you might have questions with some of my craft projects...email me or leave me a comment)

You can either go to your local Mickey D's and use the actual french fry box as a pattern, or I can always send you the one I have.
Decorate your box first.
Then you can assemble it.
Put the cute shredded paper in the bottom.
What do I put in the french fry box?

Go to Winco (my favorite place for bulk food) and buy candy.

Put the candy in a cute little cellophane baggie with a cute ribbon. If you do this option, you wouldn't necessarily need to put the whole french fry box in the cellophane baggie.

If you wanted to put the whole french fry box in the cellophane baggie, I like putting the little travel size lotions from Bath and Body Works in it. Then you could put some cheese-E saying like "Have a SCENTsational season!"

Like I said before, you could do this for neighbors, friends, coworkers...it's not just for teachers, but Van's teachers will be getting a little gift every week until Christmas!

I have another small gift idea I will be sharing soon...stay tuned!
