This is the bucket....before I decorated it!
This is the finished product......I ususally do paint cans but this was a nice change....the only down side was that the top and bottom are different sizes....so the paper had to be manipulated a little bit....so for the bottom I added ribbon to cover the 'manipulation' as stated above....but all in all once I did the first.....the next two went by fast.....matching the paper took longer than putting everything on the bucket!! I used modge podge....as my adhesive.....except for the ribbon...and my xyron took care of that!!
These are store bought tablets that I added paper to the top to add a little flair.....simple...but makes a BIG statement!!
These are regular black hollowed barrel pens.....I cut matching scrapbook paper...and inserted it into the barrel before adding the ink....and whaaaala......a nice coordinating addition!!
These large paper clips can be bought at Wal-Mart.....I used my QK apple...and my QK scalloped circle/flower to accent them. I was going to put graded and not graded on the apples....but thought they looked good just as they were. These are my fav's because now the teacher will have something cheerful to look at while grading ALL those papers....LOL!!
The last little goodie....was a door hanger from the kids.....I used my Quickutz 4x8 alphabets Chemistry and Supermarket...and cut out foam letters to add the teacher's names...and the kids pick out ribbon, sticker, and buttons to decorate!! These tuned out soo cute...and come to find out...all the teachers needed them....because the back doors to the classrooms are being changed to one solid color....so the kids won't be able to tell the difference between the classrooms....so each teacher can hang these outside...and the kids will know exactly which door is their teacher!!! Love it when things work out like this!!!!
