Summer DIY Project

So, besides working on the classroom library project this summer, there are a couple  of other DIY projects that I want to work on. The first project I worked on today, I don't have pictures of yet because it is for my classroom library. I will take pictures and post during pre-planning and when I have it set up!  The first one that  I am working on is bottle cap magnets. When we went on family vacation, they had bottled Pepsi products and bottled coke products. They were pretty darn yummy! :)  I saved the caps and looked up how to make them.

This is the website where I received my instructions and what materials I needed to buy. http://www.instructables.com/id/Cheap-and-simple-bottle-cap-magnets/
When I was in Hobby Lobby, I bought bottle cap stickers for the plain bottle caps that I have.

I am pretty excited about completing this project! Looking forward to having some fun bottle caps on my file cabinet this year!

The second project I am going to work on is make sharpened and unsharpened containers for my pencils. This is the picture that I am going for.

 

 

I bought all my materials from Hobby Lobby. I got red/ crimson and gray paper to make them. I thought about doing my school colors, but then decided to do Alabama colors! They had the plastic paint cans and theirs have a small opening, but it will be good enough. For my kids, putting too many pencils out there, and they get STOLEN! This way, I can monitor them. Also, since I will be co-teaching, I can put them in my bag and tote them along with me! I found the information on how to make them here: First Grade Glitter and Giggles!

 

Until next time!
