Welcome Summer

Welcome Summer!  My boys have been out of school for just about three weeks, but before the school year ended, I made a Welcome Summer gift bag for my youngest son’s teacher.  She has a special place in our heart and we are sad to not have her next year.  

This review is based strictly on my opinion.  Others may have a different opinion or experience with the product listed above.  I was provided the sample free of charge by the company or PR agency and I have given my honest opinion.  No other type of compensation was received for this review.

If you decide to make a purchase through my links, I will be paid a small commission for it. This doesn’t cost you anything additional. These commissions help to keep the rest of my content free, so thank you!

I started with a simple canvas bag from Target, I embellished it with a monogrammed pineapple, and filled it with awesome summer goodies…A beach towel, new flip flops, drinks, a magazine, Sugarfina candies, nail polish, and more.  But, I needed to add a sweet tag to the front!

DIY Tag Supplies:

Pink and Main Paper Pad

Pink and Main Aloha Pineapple Stamp Set

Xyron Sticker Maker

Water Color Paper

Water Color Paint and Paint Brush

Stamp Pad

Hole Punch

Scissors

Baker’s Twine

I quickly pulled out my Xyron Sticker Maker, and some supplies from Pink and Main.  I started by cutting two pineapples, one slightly larger than the other.  The larger one was cut from yellow polka dotted paper from Pink and Main, the smaller one was cut from watercolor paper.  My son painted it yellow and green, and I stamped it with green ink and a Pink and Main “thanks” stamp.  I ran it through my Xyron Sticker Maker and layered it on top of the larger pineapple.  

I added a loop tie to the tag, and hung it on the gift bag.  Voila!  Super easy and adorable!
