Personalized Hand Sanitizer Craft: A Fun DIY Teacher Gift
As a former teacher, I like to think I have a pretty good idea about what teachers really want to receive as gifts. And I can tell you what it’s not: more mugs, candles, or lotion sets.
Don’t feel bad if you’ve given these gifts before! We really do appreciate each and every gift and we’re thankful you’re thinking of us at all. But if you want to know the formula for the perfect teacher gift, I’ve got it for you! –
Something useful + a gift card!
The “something” useful can be small, and it can be edible (or drinkable). It could also be something for the classroom like pens, stationary, or in this case… hand sanitizer!
Today I’m bringing you a fun Cricut craft that any teacher is sure to love. Personalizing a bottle of hand sanitizer makes it fun and special- and the teacher in your life can refill it to use it again and again!
This adorable hand sanitizer craft is the PERFECT DIY teacher gift for Teacher Appreciation Week, the beginning of the school year, the end of the school year, or just because!
And if you DON’T own a Cricut yet… I highly recommend buying one! I know it’s a bigger purchase, but the possibilities of what you can create are endless! Click here to purchase one!

Supplies I used
To make this DIY teacher gift, you’ll need:
Hand sanitizer (I got mine from Dollar Tree)
Cricut Maker 3
Permanent vinyl
Weeding tool & scraper (I have this Basic Tool Set)
Transfer tape
Ribbon
Printable gift tag
How to Create a Personalized Hand Sanitizer DIY teacher Gift:
I started by peeling the label off of the front of the sanitizer bottle, and making sure the surface was clean and dry.
I then went into Cricut Design Space and designed a label I liked with my daughter’s teacher’s name and a small flower. I cut the design on red permanent vinyl and used my weeding tool to weed the design.
Once I had weeded my design, I used transfer tape to move the design onto the sanitizer bottle. Make sure to use your scraper to smooth the transfer tape!
Finally, I carefully peeled off the transfer tape, added a ribbon and a gift tag — and perhaps most importantly, added a gift card to go with it!
