I will continue to post fun items to make for the holidays on Fridays, leading up to December.  I do not know about you but I have a LOT of folks who deserve gifts – teachers, friends, etc.

These flowers I made for my MIL last year are what we chose to make for the female teacher gifts this year.  The tutorial for making them can be found at:

We chose some fun Christmas fabric to use.  We also have one Jewish teacher so we’ll make hers with blues and whites I already have at home.  We also purchased small dowels and will wrap them with floral tape and add a couple of leaves to the stem.  Finally, we will add a decorative bow to each flower.

Our son actually came up with an idea for the male teachers and that is mug rugs!  He constantly amazes me with his memory as I made mug rugs earlier this year when my FM was wintering with us.  It was a great suggestion and the girls agreed to it, as well.

I hope you enjoy this Friday Funday craft idea!
