Here is a simple back to school gift idea for teachers–a reusable metal tin filled with flavored tea bags customized and decorated using some fabulous Crate Paper products!
I found these adorable metal tins at my local craft store. They had many different sizes and shapes available, but I chose these in particular because they had a clear plastic top. I placed an assortment of different flavors of tea inside the tins which can be reused for storing small desktop items or more tea!
I embellished three tins, one for each of my children to give to their teachers, by trimming pieces of patterned paper to the size of the front of the tins.
Next, I layered a contrasting piece of paper on top of the first piece, sizing it a bit smaller so that the patterns of both pieces could be seen. Then I stitched them together using my sewing machine.
I adhered the paper to the tins using an adhesive tape runner and embellished the front using items from the Boys Rule and Oh Darling collections such as stickers, die cut pieces, and alphas.
This simple and easy teacher gift is perfect for starting the new school year off right! Who doesn't love a nice cup of hot tea after a long day? These tea tins could be handy for any small gift idea and are great for storing other small items.
