Here are a few little projects I did for back to school:
This is a brownie points pan that I found on Pinterest (I think - where else do I find stuff?!). I printed some cute little brownies on cardstock and then laminated them. Once the kids get a full pan of brownies by getting complements from other faculty and staff, I will make them brownies and bring them in to share!
This is the beginnings of my transportation display. I took all three of these circles and mounted them on one long piece of super cute ribbon. I wish I had taken a classroom shot of the finished product for you. Then I have clothes pins with all the kids names on them. I can keep track of who goes where - carpool, bus, or day care. This one I know came from Pinterest - click here to see my inspiration.
This one came from Pinterest, too. Big surprise right?! I used a pringles can, but I had to look hard and get the smaller one. Now they are making them longer, which didn't work for what I wanted. The gal on pinterest used them for teacher gifts - see that here - but I wanted to use mine to store pencils in the classroom. The students lose tons of pencils and this is where I store the new ones! It turned out cute! The kids love it. :)
Ok - well that is all for now! I have one other project to post about, but it will have to be another day. :)
Thanks for stopping by!

Great idea, Pringles can used in a container. How did you make the top?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laurie! I thought it was cute when I saw it. The top was tricky... I cut a circle and then cut a radius to the center and then folded the paper around into a cone. I had to trim stuff on and then put hot glue around the edge of the lid. It was a bit of learn as you go.
DeleteI was wondering the very same thing so thanks for the response! I am thinking that the hot glue gun should be on a low temperature to adhere it to the Pringles lid so that it doesn't melt?
