Cute Gift!

Today was our school class Christmas parties! Since I have a morning and afternoon class, then I have 2 parties. If you are a teacher or have ever been to a school party, you know that sometimes they can be a little crazy. I was very fortunate today that I had 2 calm parties and lots of helpful parents. I also had many kind students and parents that gave me a Christmas present. I got lots of treats to eat, lotions, candle, jewelry, etc. One of the cutest and most creative gifts I got was this decorated paint can.

The can is an empty paint can from a paint store, covered with scrapbook paper. There is a special kind of scrapbook glue that you have to use. (I don't remember what it is called, but I am going to ask again.) 2 of the moms in my class made these together and then filled them with goodies.
The also made one for the principal and one for my assistant. They were also so cute that I had to take a picture of them too! The mom that made them said that she has made them to take to baby showers before and filled it with baby lotion, small toys, etc. I thought that was such a great idea! I know that so many of you are very creative and crafty, so I had to share the idea with you!
