Introduction: Our teachers are working harder than ever. B-Crafty offers the “Teacher Appreciation Stool” as the perfect way to thank them. It is a personalized leave behind art project that will forever remind them of this year and their students.
Issue #116
Occasion: Teacher Appreciation
Category: Gift
Materials:
- Unpainted counter
- White primer paint
- White paint (I used acrylic)
- Acrylic paints (yellow/gold, silver, eraser pink, tan)
- Sharpies fine point in and blue.
- Sharpies regular point in red, blue and black
Instructions:
- Paint the unfinished stool with the white primer paint
- With the yellow/gold, silver, pink and tan colored acrylic paints paint all four legs to resemble a No.2 pencil (Optional: Add with a black Sharpie the names of four events or areas of study the class did; i.e. “Circus Week”, “Interplanetary Jammin’”
- Paint a coat of white acrylic paint on the top of the stool
- With the fine point Sharpies, line the top of the stool to look like a page of notebook paper, blue and red markings. Also add the three black dots to look like the notebook page holes
- Have each student write their name on the top of the stool (If gathering the students is not possible, you can ask them to write their name on a piece of paper and you can trace it onto the stool)
- Add a date and a message of thanks to the teacher with an A+ grade
