My kids only have one more week of school left this year so I’m busy crocheting little end of year gifts for their teachers! Our elementary school’s mascot is the Crocodile which inspired this project. Even though my gift tag will say “After While Crocodile” I thought anyone could use this cute Crochet Alligator Gift Card Holder with the phrase “See You Later, Alligator!” A fun way to say goodbye and thank them for a great year!
