Get ready for a few of my favorite DIY gifts for teachers! It’s that time of year when summer is looming and the kids will soon be out of school. Before the last day gets here, be prepared to thank your child’s teachers. Here are 10 dirt-cheap DIY gifts for teachers. Teachers will love these ideas, and these DIY gifts won’t break the bank!
