Monday Made It! {June 30, 2014}
Yay! It's time for another Monday Made It! Be sure to head on over to Tara's blog, 4th Grade Frolics, to see all of the awesome things people have been making.This year, I am reusing the same classroom theme that I had last year. I've never done this. I have theme commitment issues- bwahaha. Lame humor aside, it's the truth. However, I really do love my rock star theme, so this summer I am planning to just add to my theme, rather than recreate everything from scratch. Best.idea.ever.
I made this rockin' sign to hang on the wall space above my drinking fountain.
It is the perfect size for this wall space. I found the frame on clearance at Michael's for $6! How could I not buy it? I made the picture and sent it to Costco for printing since I cannot print on 11x14 inch paper at home. The colors are a bit off from the original, but I'm not that picky (despite popular belief).
The frame is super bling-tastic. It was really hard to get pictures of it to show just how blingy it is, but here are a few close ups. I love it!
If you teach second grade, and you think it rocks (um, it totally does), then you're in luck! Click here for a copy of the "Second Grade Rocks" sign, if you can use it. Simply download it to your computer and save it to your hard drive!
I also made more tissue poms. I have these hanging from my classroom ceiling, and I have a cluster on one of my classroom walls. Of course, that's simply not enough pom pom action for this teacher lady! They are so easy to make. Every year, I use this tutorial from Schoolgirl Style.
I'm going to use this cluster of poms to accent the bling-tastic frame.
My last made it is a small cluster/collection of glittery stars. Again, hard to photograph, and I don't know why the top right star looks like the edges are unpainted..they are! Weird.
I got the wooden star shapes at Michael's and then painted them with two coats of solid acrylic paint. Then, I put several (as in probably six) coats of the coordinating glitter paint on top of the solid.
I initially thought I would hang these with the bling-tastic frame, but I didn't like them together. Instead, I'm going to just place them wherever they fit once I go back in August to set up my room. Trust me, I'll find them a home.
And, those are my Monday Made Its! Don't forget to head on over to Tara's to see more great made its! Share It:
I am also keeping my classroom theme the same (Under the Sea). Yes, it is very played out and I made the mistake of choosing it but I spent SO MUCH MONEY on it that I can't force myself to completely change my theme. Maybe it's because last year was my first year to teach so I experienced just how much it takes to get a room ready ;)
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I absolutely adore those tissue poms! I will try that this year and maybe make them jellyfish haha :)
