In every person's life there are people whom you remember with warmth and gratitude. Ask your child if he would like to give his teacher a gift for the holiday, and he will answer in the affirmative. Sweets and bouquets are too banal. But crafts for Teacher’s Day will be just right.
Even sweets can be decorated in a non-standard way, and the teacher will remember them for a long time. However, there are still a lot of ideas on how to surprise a teacher on his professional holiday.
Bouquet of daisy girls and dandelion boys
It’s not difficult to prepare a “bouquet of students,” but the class teacher will be pleased. Cut out a daisy from colored paper and glue a photo of the child in the middle. Such a flower is attached to a stick or wire and placed in a pre-prepared pot.

How to draw a card for a teacher - step-by-step drawings
I'm sure almost every child loves to draw. So it is worth directing this love in the right direction, so to speak, for his benefit, in his creative development. Then you won’t have to think about gifts for teachers!
What will your baby draw? Let's help him make a card with a globe and flowers!
Draw a circle (using a compass).
Under the circle, the oval is a stand. It is connected to the circle.
A line passes through the center of the circle.
We connect the edges of the line with a semi-arc that goes around the circle. We draw this semi-arc as a double one.
Oceans and continents can be drawn very accurately, or approximately (we hope no one will be offended and the children’s drawing will not lead to political conflicts)))
The globe is ready!
The preparation for autumn chrysanthemums looks like a stump - there are many rings in a circle; and rays extend from the middle to the edges.
Using this blank, you can make the inner layer of flower petals small, at the distance of the smallest circle. Then the petals will become longer and longer. The very last ball of petals runs along the edge of the circle itself.
All that remains is to paint the picture and sign the postcard!
Of course, you can draw other details. For example, a ruler, or the words: “Happy Teacher’s Day.”
Or you can draw a scientific owl.
Here's another option with an owl.
Here is a detailed tutorial on how to draw an owl.
You can add bouquets of roses, or daisies, or lilies.
It’s also not difficult to draw a book, especially if the process is divided into several stages. First, let's draw a vertical line. Next, draw two rectangles.
Next we add several pages on each side. The next step is to draw a semicircle from below.
Let's draw the cover. All that remains is to paint. The scroll is also very easy to draw!
There is a sea of ideas on how to arrange these drawings. By the way, remember we cut out autumn leaves from paper? So, they can also be used for a postcard or wall newspaper for Teacher’s Day.
Homemade case for scissors
If you give your favorite teacher practical handmade crafts for Teacher’s Day, he will be only too happy. One of these gifts could be a self-sewn case for scissors.
Important! The fabric must be thick so that the sharp ends of the scissors do not damage it.
It is desirable that the material be of bright colors. You should fold the fabric into a triangle and stitch one of the edges.

Posters can be painted, in the form of a collage, with applications made of colored paper, dried flowers, beads, ribbons, lace, etc.
The design with patterns using the quilling technique looks beautiful. Autumn symbols are yellow leaves, which can be painted or glued to a poster.
Pencil holder
This stand can be decorated with coffee beans. Another option is to make a topiary and some pencil cups. The base will be a foam ball.
It is painted brown. The ball is placed on a sushi stick and covered with coffee beans.
The workpiece is inserted into a pot, which is filled with plaster.

Congratulations card
Before you start making a postcard, you need to decide on the material. Also count how many teachers need crafts for so as not to offend anyone.
There are many ideas for making cards. If the child is small, then you can make an applique. Older children are able to master quilling or scrapbooking techniques.
You can use cardboard as a base material, and colored or corrugated paper, buttons, beads, rhinestones, lace, ribbons, etc. for decoration. Everything will depend on the imagination of the child and his parents.
DIY postcard ideas for Teacher's Day:
- Bouquet inside a postcard. To do this, you need to cut out several flowers and glue them to each other, and then to the middle of the card. The basis is colored cardboard folded in half.
- Postcard with flowers. For it you will need designer cardboard, which can be purchased at the stationery department. Make flowers from colored paper or buy blanks. Such souvenirs look original.
- Postcard in the form of a bouquet with flowers. For this you will need an openwork paper napkin. From one or two, make a triangle reminiscent of flower packaging. Make flowers with twigs and leaves from colored paper. Glue a bead to the center of each flower. Ready.
- You can make a postcard in the shape of an owl, a symbol of wisdom. First, an owl template is made from paper. The parts are transferred to colored paper and cut out. The wings are glued separately, they will close.
- Volumetric postcard. 3 squares are cut out from album sheets and painted with watercolors. You need to choose autumn colors. After this, each square is folded diagonally and then accordion-style. After this, the squares are unfolded, a corrugated base is obtained, 2 squares are folded in half and glued on both sides to the third. Externally, it resembles an autumn leaf, which is glued to a pre-prepared postcard made of colored cardboard.
- You can use plasticine to make a postcard. First, pieces of plasticine are spread on cardboard, then individual parts are molded in the form of letters, flowers, leaves, etc.
Postcard using quilling technique
The main consumable material here is narrow strips of quilling paper. Their color depends on what kind of application we will lay out on the paper. To make a gift we will need:
- A sheet of white or any colored paper in A-4 format. You can take any pastel shade (cream, sand, light green, pale yellow, etc.).
- Quilling paper red and green 3-5 mm (for creating an applique of a bouquet of flowers). The shades of the buds can be changed at your discretion.
- Quilling hook (or just an ampoule from a writing pen, slightly cut at the end by a blade to 3-5 mm).
- PVA glue.
- Stationery scissors.
- A template for a congratulatory inscription or a sheet of colored paper in a contrasting shade with the base.
- A simple pencil and a ruler.
We do all the work like this:
- First, take the base sheet and fold it in half. Inside on the right you can immediately draw thin lines to write a congratulation.
- Now on the title side of the postcard we subtly, barely noticeably, draw straight intersecting lines. This will be a template for the stems of the future bouquet. It may consist of 3, 5 or 7 flowers. Try to place the lines at the intersection so that they have an angle of at least 45 degrees with each other at the top. This will make it more convenient to arrange the “buds” of flowers.
- Afterwards, onto the drawn lines we glue strips of green quilling paper along their entire length. The lower ends can be cut at an angle to make them more graceful.
- The next stage of work is the production and fixation of buds. They can be done simply and quickly. Take a strip of paper of the desired color (red, yellow, orange, etc.). Insert one end of it into the hook and begin winding the entire strip.
- Once winding is finished, remove the paper from the hook. We have a peculiar snail. It can be made looser (loose, transparent) or denser. Optional.
- Lubricate the remaining free end of the paper strip with glue and fix it to the “bud” so that it does not unwind.
- Lubricate the lower part of the twisted bud with PVA glue and press the quilling figure onto the base sheet onto the already created stem. You should end up with one flower bud per stem. Make all the following flowers in the same order and stick them in random order.
- Now you need to make leaves on the stems. We form them from green strips of paper according to the same principle as buds. Only after the snail circle is ready, it is slightly compressed to form a pointed oval.
- We attach all the “leaves” with PVA glue at the bottom of the stems throughout the bouquet.
- Finally, use a strip of quilling paper in a contrasting shade to make a bow and glue it to the intersection of all the stems of the bouquet.
- At the bottom of the postcard you need to stick an oval or other shaped template on which the inscription “Dear Teacher”, etc. is written in calligraphy.
Tip: flower buds on a card can be made of any shape and size. This way the bouquet will look more lush and beautiful.

Flower vases
The teacher will definitely like this gift, since the vase is necessary on the school table. A plastic or glass bottle is suitable for the base of any homemade vase. It can be painted or covered with paper.
Various items are used as decoration. These can be colored threads, old beads, colored stickers, pieces of fabric, sequins, bright buttons, etc. You can buy a beautiful indoor plant and decorate a flower pot.
A beautiful congratulatory inscription, mathematical formulas, historical dates, or simply a declaration of love to your teacher will look original.
There are many ideas for DIY gifts for Teacher's Day. Each person can have their own ideas and fantasies, using which they can create an original souvenir. Such attention will be especially pleasant for teachers!
