Did you know that Teacher Appreciation Week is around the corner? I don’t know how teachers do it . . . putting up with all of the craziness children throw at them on a daily basis. Some days I can barely even handle my own children, let alone other people’s kids. Teachers truly are special people, worthy of a week devoted to making them feel appreciated!
I always like to give teachers little gifts throughout the year, and one of my favorite teacher gifts is these DIY Fabric Covered Clipboards. Swap out teachers’ boring, plain and uninspired clipboards for these fabulous fabric covered clipboards! This is a great Teacher Appreciation Week gift, or a gift for anyone who likes to be organized!

Hey, Sonnet – thanks girl! I just linked up! I thought I was too late so I was going to do it next week, but I’m all good. Thanks!
Leslie says
What a cute idea! I love how you added the pocket, too. This would be extra as a class gift if you used plain fabric and had all the kids sign it. Thanks for the inspiration!
