Made it! Round four!!

It's my favorite day of the week!

{at least for the summer!}

I've been ready to link up with Tara at 4th grade Frolics ALLLL week long!

I made 2 little crafts this week:

 

I've been wanting to make one of these headband holders for Ella! She's really just started wearing headbands and, of course, they are big and bulky in a drawer and we had no good place to store them! And you forget about them if they're not out, are ya with me?!

It was super easy to make!

I started out with a big ol' container of oatmeal - I'm going to be making cookies this afternoon :)

 

I pulled the label off and painted the lid and the rim so you don't see any of the ugly brown!

I forgot to take pictures while I was doing the rest of it, but it's easy - you will need 2- 12x12 sheets of scrapbook paper.  One sheet won't fit around all the way. You will have to trim it to 9 1/4" tall. Slather a thin layer of mod podge on the cardboard and just stick your paper on! Let it dry and after about 10 minutes I added the ribbon and bow to decorate! 

This one is my "school" craft - inspiration from Tara herself! My kids don't need a hall pass too often, but I ADORE using a clothespin to clip onto them! I reealllly don't want their little hands {that you KNOW they did not wash well enough!} touching a pass after they've been to the restroom! I'm going to do this instead of dismissal sticks for my kids this year, too. {more about that later!}

I only have 2 clips here because all of my clothespins are at school - I've got like 7 packs of them; I didn't see the point in buying expensive ones at Micheal's when I was there today! You get the idea, right?! I'm going to have 2 for girls and 2 for boys when I finish them up!

 

Ok, I'm sorry for this suuuuuuper long post, but I'm also linking up with Classroom Freebies Manic Mondays!

{This is also another "Made It!}

 I haven't tried the ULTIMATE teacher binder yet, but I am SO excited to try it out this year! (ok, this is also inspired by Tara! I've seen them all over Pinterest too!)  So smart to keep everything in one place! Ha! Last year I had like 7 different binders with data...RTI documentation...student info..you get it!
