The Common Core Classroom: Monday Made It!

Monday Made It!

Linking up with 4th Grade Frolics again to share my craft project this week. My inspiration comes from Nicole at Rowdy in Room 300. I was browsing through all the past Monday Made Its and came across her tutorial on making a painted burlap sign and knew I just had to have one for my classroom door. Here is what I came up with ...

I wanted to paint my name on the front, but was pretty certain I would ruin it without a stencil, so I think I'll keep it as is.

Seriously, the hardest part was making the bow! I must of tied that thing a million times before I got one that looked semi decent!!

Looking forward to browsing through all your creations:)

Don't forget to enter my giveaway!

Carrie said...: I used a hot glue gun. You have to leave a hole to fill it up with grocery bags. Check out Rowdy in Room 300, she posted the step by step instructions:); August 7, 2012 at 10:44 AM

Marlene McGarrity said...: Your apple came out great. I made one too. After doing all the polka-dots, I didn't put my name on it either because I didn't want to mess up the polka-dots.; August 10, 2012 at 5:57 AM
