Are your kids getting ready to go back to school? I have 4 and most are pretty excited, but of course, the nerves are there too. My oldest is going into 10 grade and is finally at the high school, my next two are in 9th and 8th and in jr. high, and youngest is in 6th in the elementary school.

Since my kids are getting older and have 8+ teachers each, it is much more difficult to send them with a teacher gift for each teacher. Plus, who wants to be seen giving a teacher gift – especially in high school! From what I understand, this puts their cool factor at stake.

So this year I simplifying. I created a free downloadable printable that can easily be attached to a candy bar with some curling ribbon. My high schooler son opted out of the gifts, but my girls are super excited to give a little treat to their new teachers.

Punch a hole in the upper left-hand corner of the candy bar tags.

Cut a piece of curling ribbon that is about 12-18 inches long. You want the piece a bit longer so there is extra ribbon to curl. String the ribbon through the hole in the candy bar tag and wrap around the bar.

Tie a double knot keeping the ribbon tight around the candy bar.

Curling ribbon generally has two sides. A shiny side and a dull side. The dull side is the back of the ribbon. Open a pair of scissors and holding the dull side against one of the blades of the scissors with your thumb, tightly pull the scissors up the length of ribbon. This will create the curl. Not all ribbons will have this effect, so make sure you are using curling ribbon and not a fabric ribbon.

Not all ribbons will have this effect. This only works on curling ribbon so make sure you are using the correct ribbon and not a fabric ribbon. If you have never curled ribbon before, you may want to practice a bit first so you can figure out the right amount of pressure to apply to the scissors and ribbon.
