This is the last gift my kids teachers will be getting. I followed the flower instructions from the website MADE. I loved out it came out.
Chad sprayed them all. He is an even spray painter. I would have drips all over the silly thing.
My best friend saved me a bunch of coke bottles. I had no clue what I was going to do with them 5 months ago. Till I saw this tutorial and thought.. HMMMM
I tied on a wide piece of ribbon I got at hobby lobby. For a few reasons. No matter how many coats of spray went on the bottle- you can see the indentation of the coke label in the center. Also i wanted to dress it up a bit. The colors in the ribbon were fun and matched the vase/flower and tag. So that made me happy.
The 3/16 of an inch dowels are cut to 12 inches in length and spray painted as well green. Gathering and hot gluing on fabric pieces that I cut 2 x 18. (I just bought a single fat quarter from fabric store) I won’t lie to you and tell you- you wont get glue on yourself. Doesn’t matter what I tried. You will get glue on yourself. So go light on the glue. It hurts less. HAHA
I can’t wait to make more with different fabric. I will add to my collection with my scrap fabrics I have on hand.
I made a few extra’s for mother’s day gifts too. So it was a great time to be creating these. And I made one for myself.
Tied on a tag to the teacher personalized. So they knew who it was from.
Very pleased with this project. And pleased how inexpensive it was. Creating 10 was a breeze.
Of course I have tags to share. I used the 3 inch – Uchida Clever Lever Giga Craft Punch, Scalloped Circle punch for this tag.

Very cute indeed!
Cute! Perfect for fabric scraps, like you said!
Also–I’m a teacher, and I can’t tell you how much we need to know we’re appreciated. On behalf of teachers everywhere, thank you for taking the time to do this!
Love the bright blue bottles! My family used to always think I was crazy when I asked for their bottle or box, but now they get it and will say, I bet Michelle wants that.
