Back To School: Easy To Make Dum Dum Trees For Teacher Gifts

Back To School Time Is Here!

Help your child create these easy to make Teacher Gifts to welcome back their favorite Teacher and school staff.

You can find All these craft supplies at your local Walmart or another big box store near you. You can even your clay pot a solid color or with design and even tie a simple burlap bow around the pot itself. Make sure you give your teacher an extra bag of Dum Dum suckers for an easy refill so all her/his students can joy a sweet treat year-round.

You will need:

Step 1: If you are spray painting your clay pots, I suggest laying the top down. Depending on what type of spray paint may depend on how long it takes to dry. You may need more than one coat depending on the color you are using as well.

Step 2: Place the 4″ Styrofoam ball into the top of the clay pot. Start your Dum Dum by placing the first row right along the top of the clay pot. You will only stick the sucker into the ball until the paper starts on the sucker.

Step 3: The next row you will go on top of the existing row. You will place your suckers in the next row in the space where the suckers meet as shown in the images above. (It’s easier to show than the explain).

Step 4: Keep making your rows as shown in step 3 until your Styrofoam ball is full. You can add a bow or ribbon along the rim of the clay pot to add a special splash of color too.

This is always a great little gift for any occasion with a little imagination you can create these DIY Dum Dum Trees for Halloween, Birthday Parties, Thanksgiving and more. Simply adjust your design to feature your current celebration with themed colors.
