You just need a few supplies to put this together:

  • Skittles
  • Jar or clear treat bag
  • Ribbon
  • Printable tag

If I’m giving to a teacher or friend, I like using a small mason jar. I’ve also used milk bottles, which are really cute! For multiple gifts–to a group–clear treat bags work really well, especially if you’re trying to stay on a smaller budget. Another option is to tie the tag around a package of Skittles, which would be perfect for teachers to give to students.

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Fill the jar or bag with Skittles. Sometimes I like to layer them in rainbow order (my kids love to help sort them), but I also just pour them in as is. Whatever you like is great!
  2. Download and print your choice of tag.
  3. Cut out the tag, punch a hole in the top or side, then tie it on to the jar or bag with a bit of ribbon.

That’s it! Super easy and adorable!

The tags say:

  • I’m Over the Rainbow You’re My Teacher
  • I’ve Over the Rainbow You’re My Student
  • I’m Over the Rainbow We’re Friends
