On to what I actually made this week. For several years now I have had my students share supplies at their tables. They store them in white three drawer plastic carts. Well as you can imagine after 4 years my carts were not so pretty and white anymore. In fact last year several budding artists used their talents to decorate them with crayon and permanent marker; much to my horror and their delight.Well, this year I looked and looked and those really sad carts and knew I had to do something. I thought about buying new carts but I couldn't justify throwing out perfectly good carts just because they were ugly. So I decided that I could make them beautiful again, but how?
Ugly old cart! |
Keeping things clean! |
Oh! I removed the drawers first as mine were still in good shape. Then I spray painted my little heart out! Each cart took three coats of paint but look and the results!
They are so pretty and I love them!
Well, this is one of my favorite made its! My new outside bulletin board for the new year! I wish I could say that I did it all by myself but I can't! My amazing cousin Stephanie came to help me this week and created this spectacular board for me! So really this is a Cousin Stephanie made it! All I told her was it has to be cute and have lots of owls! Look at what she made! It is so awesome! I have taken about a thousand pictures already! I can't wait to see what my new students think!
