I need help on some inexpensive gifts for my son's teachers. I have typed a short story in smaller print in order to fit on 2 pages of copy paper (used card stock for better quality), then inserted an appropriate picture at the end. He has 10 teachers, and I've made each picture different. My problem now is how to frame or display the pages to give as a gift.
Usually you can find black frames at cheaper prices than any other frames. However, with 10 teachers that still may be more than you are wanting to spend. The only other thing I can think of would be to use a 2-hole punch on the top piece of each paper (& on the bottom of the first paper - to connect the two together.) & thread a pretty ribbon through & of course on the top piece you would leave several inches in order to tie a bow that it could hang by.

Why not give them some supplies? I hear a lot of teachers use their own money to buy much needed supplies for the school year. (11/15/2007)

Leah,
Have you thought about getting the less expensive black frames from the dollar store and then putting your own hinges on them? The hinges aren't that expensive and I bet it would look just as nice as the ones you pay three times as much for already made.

Check snapfish.com or shutterbug.com and see if they have anything inexpensive you can use. They have all sorts of types of frames. (11/15/2007)

Gift card so they can buy school supplies for their students - they spend their own money on supplies. (11/18/2007)
