Quick Teen Gifts

Not only for teens!Many ages text and abbreviate these days- most of us know BFFF, ROTF, or WWJD, LOL all these are fun to put on a notebook for a teen or a friend.

Chose a notebook or composition book you like and cover the front, this is a reptile print for a guy. I used Modge Podge to adhere and protect. Added LOL -laugh out loud, TAW - teachers are watching, and TTYL - talk to ya later. There are tons of other abbreviations that maybe your teen or friend uses that would be fun to put on a notebook for them. Add as many as you like. You can use sticker letters, cricut to cut your own or print them out in a nice font.
If you are making for females, add ribbons, flowers etc.
Also button necklaces and bracelets are great for young girls, teens or growns, use random buttons stretchy cord or a soft coated twine. You can use single buttons, double layers of buttons, beads or anything else you might like to add.

The kicked-up composition books make great teacher gifts too. My daughter embellished one for each of her teachers this year. She added their name on the front and put a little note on the first page of paper. The button bracelets are cute.
