I was quite the busy bee this week as August hit, and I am starting to feel the pressure. I don't start school until the 28th...so I know I still have time, but there is just so much to be done!
Here are some of my creative endeavors from this past week:
1. Fun Flower Vases
What you need:
Mod Podge, Scrapbook Paper, Cheap Vases, Fun Flowers, Ribbon
2. No Name Papers Board
What you need:
Ribbon, Scrapbook Paper, Mod Podge, Clothespins, Hot Glue Gun, Foam Board, Xacto Knife
3. Classroom Bookshelf Makeover
What you need:
Spray Paint (I got the Rustoleum Primer/Paint Combo), Scrap Book Paper, Mod Podge
(This thing was seriously ugly brown fake wood before. Amazing what a simple paint job can do!)
4. Classroom Welcome Sign
What you need:
Ribbon, Cute Paper, Printer (or you could use your Cricut/whatever cutting tool you have)
I'm in the middle of several other projects, which I can't wait to share with you guys next week!
I really love how your book shelf came out. The paper in the back looks fantastic.

Thanks Natalie!
DeleteCan you come by and help me with my bookshelves??? Maybe that will be my Winter Break project! WOW
ReplyDelete~Natalie
It was seriously so simple! It only took me like an hour tops! You could do it no prob!
DeleteI love your bookshelf makeover! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)!
DeleteYou have encouraged me to get started. Everything looked so good!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! It was all very simple- Mod Podge can do all!
DeleteJust what I needed to have, encouragement to do my own bookcases. It has been on my to do list all summer... how many coats did it take? In your opinion do you think it will chip off easily when books are removed and put back numerous times??
ReplyDeleteIt only took one coat with the Rustoleum Paint/Primer combo. I moved it from my house to school and I didn't notice any chipping yet. It seems like it is good to go!
DeleteYour bookshelf looks awesome! I almost wish my classroom had an ugly, old bookshelf in it so that I could make it black and white.

Yes! iteachduallanguage.blogspot.com, flapjackeducationalresources.blogspot.com, dualkinderteacher.blogspot.com, and mrscastrospanglishstyle.blogspot.com are all good ones to start with!
DeleteI did the same thing w/ my bookcases and I love it! It's amazing what black paint can do.
ReplyDeleteI agree! Looks so much nicer in my room too!
DeleteI need to do this to my bookshelf at school. I inherited it from a teacher who just retired. She inherited it from a teacher who retired after my sister's 4th grade year (my sister is almost 20 now!) It's old and could use some love!
