![glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-paper-pieces-for-edges.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/2016-2017%20Projects/Teacher%20Appreciation/Mini-Easel/glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-paper-pieces-for-edges.jpg?width=725&height=725&name=glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-paper-pieces-for-edges.jpg)

Add Premium Permanent GlueTape around the frame.

![glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-adding-paper-boarder-trim.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/2016-2017%20Projects/Teacher%20Appreciation/Mini-Easel/glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-adding-paper-boarder-trim.jpg?width=725&height=725&name=glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-adding-paper-boarder-trim.jpg)

Attach paper strips to the wood.

![glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-premium-gluetape-on-edges.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/2016-2017%20Projects/Teacher%20Appreciation/Mini-Easel/glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-premium-gluetape-on-edges.jpg?width=725&height=725&name=glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-premium-gluetape-on-edges.jpg)

Use Premium Permanent GlueTape on 3 sides of the cutout card to form a pocket.

![glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-premium-gluetape-gift-card-pocket.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/2016-2017%20Projects/Teacher%20Appreciation/Mini-Easel/glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-premium-gluetape-gift-card-pocket.jpg?width=725&height=725&name=glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-premium-gluetape-gift-card-pocket.jpg)

Place second card on top to create pocket.

![glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-gift-tag-assembly.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/2016-2017%20Projects/Teacher%20Appreciation/Mini-Easel/glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-gift-tag-assembly.jpg?width=725&height=725&name=glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-gift-tag-assembly.jpg)

Punch hole in tag and add ribbon.  Place gift card inside pocket of tag and add sentiment to tag.

Cut a small square from the Repositionable double-sided sheets and apply the tag to easel.

![glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-with-gift-tag.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/2016-2017%20Projects/Teacher%20Appreciation/Mini-Easel/glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-with-gift-tag.jpg?width=725&height=725&name=glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-with-gift-tag.jpg)

Cut a small piece from the Repositionable double-sided sheets to fit on the cap of the whiteboard marker.  Remove the liner and press the adhesive on to the marker cap.

![glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-repositionable-sheet-marker-cap.jpg](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Consumer%20Blog/2016-2017%20Projects/Teacher%20Appreciation/Mini-Easel/glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-repositionable-sheet-marker-cap.jpg?width=725&height=725&name=glue-dots-teacher-appreciation-easel-repositionable-sheet-marker-cap.jpg)

Hello! My name is Tammy Santana and I am happy to be a part of the Glue Dots Creative Maker Team. My background is in interior design and product development, however I enjoy creating beautiful home decor and paper crafting projects as my form of relaxation. I have always been creative, love to work in many different areas of design, and enjoy working with different mediums and tools. As a product development consultant, I am constantly challenging myself to try new things and reach outside my comfort zone. I feel so blessed to be able to work in an industry that I love so much. I am active on Instagram, YouTube and Twitter and love it when new readers find my lifestyle blog and my planner blog and give feedback on my posts. I live in beautiful Southern California with my husband of 18 years and our creative 11 yr old daughter.
