Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, I am so excited each August for the start of the school year. I’m equally as excited for the end, y’all – just being honest.
Today, I’m sharing some of the most creative back to school crafts and DIY crafts for teacher appreciation from friends around the Internet. But first, here are a few of mine.

You’re the Berry Best Teacher Printables
Ah, there is something so sweet about berry themed anything. I made up these absolutely adorable Berry Best Teacher printables free for everyone.
Teacher Appreciation Free Printable Gift Card Holders
I’m a big fan of giving money because, well, who doesn’t love a bit of extra cash? Teachers are going to love these free printable gift card holders.
Fun Craft Themed Wreath for Teacher
If you have the need to make something, this DIY crayon wreath for a teacher’s classroom is a must-try. It’s actually really easy (and affordable) to make using dollar store items.
Clay Pot Apple Treat Jar
Another way to give money – I wasn’t kidding when I say I’m a fan – is to make a cute treat jar using dollar store finds. Make this Clay Pot Apple Treat Jar and pop in some sweets and a fully-loaded gift card.
Apple Mason Jar DIY
If you have a ton of glass jars lying about (who doesn’t?), you’ll want to instead make this easy apple mason jar craft. It’s a bit more subdued and elegant than the terra cotta one above.
Easy Cork Apple Craft – It’s a Quick One
Have an abundance of corks – no judgement here, my friend. Make a painted or neutral cork apple DIY for a teacher and tie on a small gift card.
Back to School Crafts for Teacher Appreciation
Personalized Pencil Sign from Artsy Fartsy Mama – This is absolutely adorable and would be PERFECT for a new teacher.
Personalized Teacher Cup With SVG Cut File from The Happy Scraps – Beginning of the year, end of year – this works for both (and anyone would love to receive it). Also, #freeSVG alert!
Back To School Apple Candy Pouch Card from Hey Lets Make Stuff – You don’t need a cutting machine to make this (though it does make it easier).
Printable Back To School Terra Cotta Plant Wrappers from Somewhat Simple – Adorable and quick craft, even for young kids.
Back To School USB Charger from The Crafting Chicks – A charger would be a great gift for a teacher to stash in their classroom. This would work for back to school crafts or teacher appreciation week.
Printable Gift Card Holders from Crazy Little Projects – This might be the easiest teacher appreciation craft ever. My kind of craft.
Teacher Jar Gift from Lilluna – These would be cute to deliver at the beginning of the year stuffed with school supplies!
Teacher Care Package from Thirty Handmade Days – This is an example of an adorable printable which helps make gifting easy.
Lysol Wipes Teacher Gift from The Happy Scraps – I never knew these were part of the school supplies list until my daughter went to Kindergarten. This is one of the most awesome back to school crafts because it’s easy.
Teacher Support + Maintenance Kit Gift With Printables from Somewhat Simple – If you’re putting together a gift basket for teacher appreciation week with other families, this allows you to coordinate everything quickly. Love the printables.
