Give a music teacher a special Thank You Note to show your appreciation! Jessica Griffin shows you how.

When I was younger, I had an incredible music teacher! Marc Meyers. We always had so much fun in his class. He was always outgoing, and excited when we arrived. Especially when we had our records in hand! haha. When I see parents sharing gifts they've made for their child's teacher, I rarely see a gift made for a music, art or gym teacher. I'm hoping this simple project, will inspire parents to think about all their child's teachers!

**Designed by:** Jessica Griffin  
**Time:** 20 minutes  
**Level:** Intermediate

**Here's what you'll need:**

- [XL Glue Dots®](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/craft-hobby/1012?plpver=1002)
- [Craft Glue Dots®](http://catalog.gluedots.com/item/consumer-products/craft-hobby/1001?plpver=1002)
- Wood music note
- Wood heart
- White cardstock
- Black pen
- Gesso
- Acrylic paint in black and red
- VersaMark
- Clear embossing powder
- Red glitter

**Directions:**

Paint the music note and heart with Gesso.

Once dry, paint music note with black acrylic paint, set aside and let dry.

Paint the heart with red acrylic paint., set aside.

When the heart is dry, heat emboss with clear embossing powder and red glitter.

Cut a banner from white card stock and write sentiment.

Adhere the sentiment to the music note using Craft Glue Dots.

Adhere the heart to the music note, on top of the sentiment, using an XL Glue Dot.
