Mason Jar Apple Craft

Mason Jar Apple Craft

This mason jar apple craft makes the perfect teacher gift!

We love to come up with gift ideas to show teachers our appreciation.  This simple mason jar apple pencil holder makes a darling addition to any desk top.  Let me show you how to make this cute craft…

Mason Jar Apple Craft

We filled the mason jar with pencils but you could easily add a gift card, your teacher’s favorite candies or even a potted plant.  Apples make the perfect teacher gift in my opinion!  We’ve also made this Apple Bundt Pan Wreath, Apple Block Teacher Gift, Name Badge Apple Hoop and Wooden Apple Ornament in the past.

Simply adorable right?!  I love that this craft is easy for the kids to create and present to their teachers!  One of my boys absolutely loves to give his teachers gifts and always remembers them at Christmas and Valentine’s Day.  It’s the cutest!

One of the boys had a teacher named “Ms. Ball” and I totally would have loved giving this mason jar apple craft to her!  She has since gotten married and changed her name so we totally missed the opportunity.

What would you fill this craft with?  My thoughts are that you can never have too many pencils in school!  Whenever I am working, I can never find a pencil because the kids are always taking them. LOL
