Cute DIY idea for the seniors on our color guard team?

Question

The juniors are in charge of the senior gifts for senior night, which is in two weeks. Basically we all make them something really cute for them to keep and remember the season. The one thing we don't want to do are those blankets that you tie together, been there done that. Our theme for the show this year is 'The Music of Karl Jenkins', so that doesn't really give us ideas for a gift. The one idea I had was to make snowglobes out of jars, with glitter and things in them, then put something on the lid of the jar like a figurine. I just wanted to know if you guys could think of anything else that would be a great DIY gift for the seniors. Thanks!

I really like the picture frame idea! I told both the frame and snow globe ideas and the team picked the snow globe. I hope they come out okay! =D

Answer 1

You could give them a picture in a frame you all made. If you go to your local craft store and look into the frames that aren't painted yet. You can paint them in your school colors and decorate them with items that incorporate your team. The frames usually aren't that much and paint is pretty inexpensive. If you can put a picture of your team in each one.

Answer 2

I really like Mommyof2's idea...

I realize you all will have yearbooks in June, BUT nothing is as nice to have from a specific group (guard, band, etc) is a SPECIAL photo / item that is directly related to that group.

AFTER my high-school band and drum-corp time, I served 15 years with the Navy, and my FAVORITE departing gift was a picture of my last ship, in a nice frame... the picture signed by each of the "kids" in my division and a few other friends. 10 years later it still hangs with pride in my office.

IF you want to go small... find miniature duplicates of your flags, and make a cute little pen-holder engraved with your guard team name and the year.
