Monday Made It {7-14-14}

I am linking up with Tara at 4th Grade Frolics again for Monday Made It. I have had a lot of fun making things this week!!!

First is something I have been working on for a bit and I know some of your are interested to see. If you checked out my Five for Friday you saw this pic....

And I asked what you thought it was....Well it is part of my teacher toolbox. I got really lucky. In my area a company was trying to sell water purification things and if you listened to their pitch you got a Lowes 25 dollar gift card. I wanted my toolbox so I was more than happy to listen, I however felt bad for the lady who did the pitch, but that is a long story. Anyways, I ended up with the 39 drawer toolbox and some HOT pink spray paint. Well the spray paint and I didn't become friend. It looked splotchy and just a mess so I had to figure out something else.

 

So I decided to use an old favorite of mine, DUCK TAPE!!!

 I bought some bright pink duck tape and went to work. I think it took like 4 huge pieces but I like the way it turned out. But then I had those lines which I wasn't crazy about and the front where the drawers go was still the splotchy pink paint, what to do what to do? Well.....

...add cute ribbon of course!!! So, I went to Wal-Mart and got some cute ribbon to cover up some of those lines.

Also I don't know if you can see the darker line by the big drawers but that is a pretty glitter ribbon that I liked. 

I would say all in all it turned out well and I really like it.

For number 2 I created the labels to go in my drawers. This to say was a tough process but they turned out nice and look great in my drawers.

This is a sheet of the small ones and a sheet of the big ones. Ad you can find these in my TPT store!!! 

And, last but not least is something I am proud of. I created a game for my students to play to review and study about North Carolina. I think it turned out good and I am excited about getting to use it in my class this year.

I know this was a long post so thanks for sticking with me! Have a great week!!!
