Did you know that today, October 5th, is National Teacher's Day?
This past Saturday, my craft group participated in a bazaar and since I knew Teacher's Day was coming up, I decided to crochet drawstring apple bags from a tutorial by Jayda Institches on YouTube.
I also made cross-stitched tags to attach to each one.
They can be filled with any sort of gift, from chocolates to homemade goodies. Or even caramels for a take on a caramel apple.
And if you don't need a teacher gift, they are still super cute and really easy to make.
Perhaps the tag could read:
An apple a day keeps the doctor away or You're the apple of my eye.
But on this day, here's a big shout out to all the dedicated teachers out there.
A teacher affects eternity;
he can never tell where his influence stops.

Have a great weekend!
Beautiful in every way! Thanks so much for posting, Tammy. I hope I can try that pattern someday. xx
ReplyDeleteThey're so cute, Tammy. What a nice idea. As a former teacher (and current partial-homeschooler), I thank you for recognizing teachers.
ReplyDeleteOMG...I love the apples and tags!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I was able to post today. FYI: I had been having trouble posting or reaching your blog.
ReplyDeleteThe apples and tags are absolutely wonderful Tammy. You put so much work into them. I hope each and every one was given to a teacher today.

Those drawstring apple bags and the tags are AdOrAbLe!!! You really made a lot of them.. I'm very impressed. I know each one will bring joy to the recipient. If you buy some new flowers for your deck, you might want to try Begonia Boliviansis - they are drought resistant and wonderful. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are just wonderful-I love them!!
ReplyDeleteOh my! Those are incredible. Anyone who received one must have been thrilled!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet your crocheted apple bags are and how sweet of you to take time to make them ! I bet everyone loved them!
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that teachers are wonderful and they do such an important job.
The little drawstring bags are so very cute and love the bright Christmassy colours.
Happy October

Tammy - I have several friends that are teachers or work in school administration. So, you know I don't crochet, but I love the idea of the cross-stitch tags - they could be used for other gifts … thanks for the cute, sweet inspiration!!! Enjoy your week ahead, my friend!

ReplyDeleteSuch a thoughtful and loving way to share your talents in the appreciation of teachers. Bless you.
