I wanted to show you what we ended up doing with our Meant to Be Calligraphy stamp that we’re giving my son’s totally amazing kindergarten teacher.
I always think it’s fun to let the kids in on making a gift for their teacher. They always feel so proud. Even if it’s just a note to go with the gift, which is usually the simplest solution. But this time we thought we’d use our stamp to create some handmade stationary. We really tried to keep it simple and my son loved the project. We packaged it all up with some fun supplies from my favorite Japanese packaging shop, and I’m really satisfied with how it turned out.
I used the giant drawing paper you find at the art store because I love the colors and texture.
We folded it in half and ran it through my paper cutter, then my son got to work with his watercolors and a toothbrush.
I love how it turned out.
We also made some fabric name tape using this method.
Then wrapped it all up with some tape and envelopes from UGUiSU (i want to buy everything there).
And now it is all set to give to one amazing kindergarten teacher.
(p.s. If you’re still searching around for a last-minute teacher gift idea, you might find something to spark your creativity here, here, or here.)

I have seriously been looking for an end of year teachers gift. I love this. I’d also love to receive this as a gift.
Thank you.
love this so much, you are the queen of cool packaging and gifts!
What a fabulous, versatile teacher gift! Thanks! I also love the other ideas in the links. Perfect timing for a little last minute gift making. Great ideas as always!
How cool! One of the drawbacks of choosing to teacher secondary instead of elementary is that I’m probably not going to get cool things like this. I may have to teacher-gift myself. :-)
What a lovely idea – I’m going to file this one away for next year!
