Handmade Christmas: Paper Ball Ornament
So I'd like to start byt showing you our handmade paper balls. I bought a special 2.5in hole punch and we made a whole bunch. My students loved the craft too! There's a bunch of tutorials on Pinterest. But they are so easy!
Instructions:1. Cut (or punch) 6 circles.
2. Fold them in half, pattern side, inside the fold.
3. Glue back-to-back, one half at a time.
4. Before closing, insert a looped string.
5. Voilà !

| Glue each half back to back |
 |
| So many ornaments! |

| Looks great next to our paper chain! |

Fall Paper Wreath
Hi there! We made some cute paper wreaths this week. I got inspired from my leaf cutouts and garlands that are hanging in my windows in my classroom. Look how cute these turned out!

Hand-Painted Cottage Signs
Hello again! I've already started to get ready for back-to-school. This year, I'm leaving my classroom and headed into a portable, outside the school. I decided to call my new classroom a "cabin". Sounds a little more fun than "portable". Then I decided to make these signs for all the "cabins" that we'll hang in the inside of the windows, facing the school yard! They will look so cute with my Flannel Bear Pillows! I promise to take a pic once they're up
To make this project, I found this nice piece of wood that was stained gray at the hardware store. It was 12 feet long, so I cut it into four 3-foot pieces. All for $12! Afterwards, I stained them white and did some light sanding when they dried.
Then, I wrote what I wanted on my computer and printed it out. I rubbed pencil behind my sheet of paper to turn it into graphite transfer paper.
Once the words were transferred on my piece of wood, I painted it in with acrylic paint.
I added little details little a little pennant banner and some stars. I also stapled a string behind to be able to hang it. I can't wait to show my colleagues!
DIY Fairy Light Lanterns
Hi there! I wanted to share my fun little lanterns I made for my wedding reception! I wanted to hang little white lights all over the patio where we were holding our reception, but we could only have centerpieces, so I decided to put my little white light in the middle of the tables!
What you'll need:
- mason jar with lid
- fairy lights (i got mine on amazon for about 2$ a pop!)
- tape
Instructions:
 |
| 1. Tape the battery back inside the jar lid. |
 |
| 2. "Stuff" the light string inside the jar. |
 |
| 3. Turn on and close the lid. voila! Looks awesome! |
 |
