Made It Monday





Today I made a letter that spell out "READ" to decorate my classroom library. It was a good project to do on a rainy, windy day. I worked with a college friend who is a great painter and motivator who helps me out at the gym all the time. We went to JoAnn's and got some cardboard letters which are actually much easier to paint on with acrylics.

Then we set to making designs on each of them. The letter "E" was supposed to be a chevron pattern but I completely messed it up and decided to make it all blue.

Here are the letters:


Can't wait to put all the stuff I'm making this summer into my new classroom!

  5. I love these! And I love the one solid color in there too! I used these same letters and painted the whole alphabet to hang in my classroom. The letter A has apples painted on it, etc. Love those letters from Jo-Anns!
