Start the school year off on your teacher’s good side with this super sharp back to school gift!  A simple and easy craft to do with kids before that first bell rings.  Gather a few supplies around the house and be ready to show your teacher appreciation!

Items needed: 

  • A rinsed and cleaned empty spaghetti jar
  • Several packs of unsharpened pencils
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Ribbon
  • White card stock paper
  • Scissors
  • Flowers
  • Printable tags found below
  • White canvas tote*

We love that this craft involves repurposing something that would otherwise be tossed or recycled.  Of course any round vase or jar will do.  Working quickly, put horizontal lines of glue around the top portion and bottom portion of the jar.  Work to cover a little space at a time so the glue doesn’t harden.  Press the pencils, eraser end up, on the jar.  Continue until you’ve covered the circumference of the jar.  Using hot glue, make a ring around the pencils, about half way down.  Press your ribbon into the glue to adhere to the pencils.  Print the tag below on white card stock paper and tack on ribbon with a dot of hot glue.  Now fill with some fresh flowers to brighten your new teacher’s day!

You can really be the teacher’s pet by printing the large circle above on iron-on transfer paper.  Pick up an inexpensive canvas bag from your local craft store and make a great tote for your teacher.

Blueberry Pie Cupcakes (Makes 15)
Pin to Pinterest

I am sure many of us love picking up a spoon or fork and dipping into a freshly baked blueberry pie. How about topping it with a yummy scoop of ice-cream? Sometimes when creating desserts, its fun to play off some of our favorite treats and blend or fuse (fusion) flavors and ideas. Check out this blueberry pie twist with this yummy Blueberry Pie Cupcakes Recipe.

Ingredients:

Cupcakes

• 1 stick butter, softened to room temperature
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ¾ cup buttermilk
• 1 ½ cups flour
• 1 tsp baking powder

Frosting

• 1 stick butter, softened
• 1 lb powdered sugar
• ½ cup shortening
• 2 tbsp milk
• Blue food coloring
• Caramel Duncan Hines Frosting Creation Frosting Starter Packet

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a muffin pan with liners.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder. Set aside
• Using a mixer, cream together the butter and sugar.
• Add in the eggs and buttermilk.
• Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
• Fill the liners with the batter until ¾ full.
• Bake for 15-17 minutes.
• Let cupcakes cool before frosting.
• Beat together the butter, shortening, and powdered sugar.
• Separate the frosting into two separate bowls.
• Add in the blue food coloring into one bowl and a splash or two of milk to make it easier to pipe.
• Add in the caramel flavor packet to the other bowl.
• Using a ziplock bag, add in the blue icing and snip off the corner. Fill in the middle to the outer edges of the cupcake.
• Using a decorating bag with a star tip, add in some of the caramel icing and pipe stars around the cupcake.
• Using another ziplock bag, add in the rest of the caramel icing and draw lines like you would with pie crust.
