Apple for the Teachers

Teacher apples are tricky.  Often they run country-looking which is not my aesthetic.  I also wanted to use chalkboard paint without being obvious.  So here is where I ended up:  these are dollar store apples (the same ones I decorated with copper stars for the Fantastic Mr. Fox Party, in fact) painted with two coats of chalkboard paint.  I used brush-on but the spray paint may have been easier.  I glued them to a painted wooden base and added a matching ribbon.  You can add whatever message you would like.  Write.  Erase.  Repeat.
Oh dear, Yvonne, I have gone and married you off.  Erase.
