School Supply Box
Even though schedules are hectic this time of year and new routines form, I always try to revamp my classroom for some reason? (boredom I guess) Little projects here and there make my day a little more cozy by having something crafty lying around. (it also helps having my fellow blogger Patrice down the hall as well)
Not long ago, I met a lady in Michaels Craft Store who gave me this wonderful idea. So, I thought I'd share it with you... (ma'am if I knew your name I'd give you credit..thanks so much!)
All you need is a plastic container with multiple compartments, various coordinating school supplies, ribbon, scrapbook paper, and some glue dots. 
Once you've selected your coordinating supplies, I then choose the scrapbook paper based on the supplies.
Next, measure the lid of the container.
Divide the lid in three sections. I have the gingham and the floral pattern in the larger areas and used the pink piece as a divider.
Now..putting the box together!
Cut a piece of ribbon that goes around the box and makes a nice size bow in the front. Secure the bow with glue dots or two-sided tape.
Next, go back and apply your paper with the adhesive on top of the ribbon.
Then, add the supplies in the compartments.
Last, decorate the top of your supply box by using flowers, buttons, birds, or any other decorative materials your heart desires. I adore my box. (see below)
I also thought this would be a great idea for a little girls jewelry box, a baby girl's hair bow box, an earring box for myself :), or just for organizing my buttons and small materials at home.
I will be linking up to these parties this week!
