Back to School: DIY Teacher Crayon Wreath
Supplies Needed:
- Round Picture Frame
- Piece of Cardboard
- Black Acrylic Paint
- Chalboard Paint
- Crayons ( I used three boxes.)
- White Chalk
- Paint Brush
- Hot Glue
Step 1: Find a picture frame that has a thick border to it at your local craft store. Paint the surface with the black acrylic paint and let it dry.
Step 2: I painted the cardboard insert that is used to hold and support an actual picture with chalkboard paint. Make sure to use a heavy piece of cardboard that isn’t corrugated because you don’t want the ridges. It’s needs to be a smooth surface. Apply 2 to 3 coats of the chalkboard paint and let dry.
Step 4: Use a piece of chalk to put A+ Teacher or the name of the teacher in the center.
It’s that simple and easy! And with crayons on sale right now, it really makes this project inexpensive. I’m telling you that any teacher would love to receive this as a back to school gift and you’d certainly put a big smile on their face.
