DIY Classroom Sign

December 19, 2016

(Disclaimer: You’re probably wondering why I’m wearing a skirt with bare legs in the middle of December. Promise I’m not that crazy. Let me explain… this was originally a blog post from back in August. Unfortunately, in the middle of a blog makeover, my site crashed and I lost about half of my posts. Retyping every post word-for-word would be insane, so I’m just re-typing this one since it went viral. Shout out to my friends at @targetteachers for that. Enjoy!)

 

I can’t help myself when it comes to Target’s dollar section. It’s my best friend (and my wallet’s worst nightmare) during back-to-school season. I basically cleared all the shelves in Metro Detroit with the different styles of chalkboards they had for only $3 .Here’s a really simple DIY craft that I made for my principal and assistant principal to hang outside of their rooms this school year. I’m going to make some for my co-workers and save for Christmas gifts. Each sign wound up being under $5.

 

I made a video tutorial for those of you who want to make your own! (Update: I was overwhelmed by all of the IG tags! Yours look better than mine. Teachers on Instagram don’t play.)

 

If you choose to glance over the words and would rather look at pictures (like I usually do), READ THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE: You need repositionable gluesticks for this to work. I included a link to them below of if you don’t have any!
