With Adam's help getting the jars (IKEA) and filler, this morning I was able to etch the glass jars for a more personal homemade touch and fill it with swedish fish. It was harder on my back then I thought, but nice it was something I could do, for the most part, sitting down.
Here is the finished product minus the ribbon and tag. It is not what I had in mind a few weeks ago, but I really like the way it came together (the ribbon and tag really added). I still have two more week if I want to do something different for Tess and Bella's teacher, but I may just do the same thing.
Not bad for last minute, eh?

I think those jars are a great idea and so, so cute! I haven't come up with any teacher gift ideas yet, so I'd like to know what your other ideas were too.
Last minute! Sheesh, this is what you call a pathetic gift? I won't even tell you what I do for last minute, I'm too ashamed. I'm not at all surprised that you pulled something adorable at the last minute. But where are the instructions? C'mon, share your talents! Please post other ideas too for us loser moms who aren't so gifted.
Why come up with something different- this is fantastic!
Robyn I don't think it's a pathetic gift, I like it, it's just not what I had in mind. Originally I was going to make them a bag, but Megan's last day came up quicker than I thought.
It's really easy to make you just need some glass etching stuff. I got mine at Michaels. Mask off the area you want etched, I used masking tape and letter stickers, and then follow the glass etching instruction.
If you don't want to go to all that work you could also use rub-ons.
Hannah I am going to do it for B&T teachers as well.
Those are so cute! Love them!
You did an awesome job. I am not that talented. If I did them they would be lopsided or something. :)
Fabulous! I want to make these! I've never tried glass etching.
CUTE!!!
Hope you feel better quickly! This isn't good...yikes!
what a great idea! i'm scrambling myself right now...
