Teacher Flower Gifts

Flowers are beautiful and classic end of year teacher gifts, but you can make them better with signs and banners! These Teacher Flower Gifts are wonderful ways to make a generic gift more personal. Using pencils as sign-holders is the perfect way to announce that these are truly teacher gifts.

Write a personalized message on a cardstock leaf, or simply say thanks with the paper banner. The cardstock colors are superb for spring and a great way to welcome summer. And since you use paper punches, it's easy.
