I’m linking up to Made-It Monday over at 4th Grade Frolics! ย
I’ve wanted to link up since she first began! ย
I have enjoyed finding new crafts to make through this fabulous Linky Party!

Ok…these made-its from two summers ago. ย
I had “plans” of blogging about them back then…but I didn’t. ย ๐ ย But better late than never, right? ย I’ve got a lot, so hang in there!!

These were gifts that I gave my grade level at the beginning of the year in 2011.
ย
Made-It #1
ย I found this idea on Pinterest. ย I don’t know who the original idea came from. ย So if it’s you let me know! ย I made these from coasters Iย tookย borrowed from Outback. ย Shh! Don’t tell! ย Covered them with scrapbook paper and mod podge. ย They were really easy!
ย
Made-It #2
ย I bought water bottles from The Dollar Tree and added my teammates’ initials with vinyl cut from my silhouette.
ย
ย Made-It #3
ย Added polka-dots, initial, and ribbon to hand sanitizer bottles!ย
ย All packaged up and ready to give! ย ๐ ย I love giving gifts!!! ย I got the printable from Eighteen25. ย
ย
Last year I made my teammates a teacher survival box like this one from Triple Nap. ย I didn’t take a picture of the ones I made…but my teammates loved them! ย Click the picture to see how Triple Nap made hers.
ย
The next Made-Its were for my classroom!
ย
Made-It #4
ย Again, I used my silhouette to make a bucket for our PAWS tickets (my school’s behavior program). It’s a Dollar Tree trashcan. ย
Made-It #5
ย I’ve used this little tin box to hold band-aids since my first year of teaching. ย It was yellow with kids on it and some quotes about how teachers are awesome…or something like that! ย Haha! ย It didn’t match anything, so I spray painted it black and added some vinyl letters. ย And then stuck some real band-aids on it! ย I love how it turned out! ย I still use it, and it keeps me from having to search for band-aids when my kiddos have a cut that no human eye can see. ย LOL! ย Are my kids the only ones who have those?
ย
Made-It #6
ย These are spray painted Crystal Light containers. ย I used them at lunch to help with a visual for voice levels. ย They only lasted one year, and I didn’t use this system again.ย
ย
ย
So there you have it…I plan on crafting this week and hope to link up again with a craft from this year! ย Here’s a sneak peek of what’s to come!
Thanks for stopping by!!
I LOVE the gift bags that you put together for your team members…they made me wish I worked with you! I might just have to borrow that idea for the teacher that I team teach with. What a great way to kick off the year ๐
