I have been quietly working away on things for my classroom and thought I would start sharing some of the things I have made or will be making. I have been a big blog stalker for years and Made it Monday has always been one of my favorites. I have to say that most of what I make I find on Pinterest so it won't be an original idea.
Every year I take a picture of my students on the 1st day of school. Last year I made a prop for them to hold. I went with a K for Kindergarten but also for my last name. In fact, my husband was mad when I took it from home. He thought I had made it for the house.
It's cute but, I wasn't thrilled with how the pictures turned out. So I decided to make a picture frame for my cubs to hold. Simple and easy. I bought the "frame" at Hobby Lobby. It really isn't a frame. It's a mat that goes inside the frame. But I felt it would be easier for my cubs to hold. I already had the letters. I keep them in a 3x5 photo album with top loading pockets (Walmart - $1.50)
Frame $2.50
Letters (I already had from another project)
Total Cost: $2.50

Finished product! I think it is really cute.

So that's my first Made it Monday!
I LOVE the frame!!! And how easy was that?!?! I also made a K last year and really liked how it turned out, but that frame is just so cute I might have to switch it up this year... :-)

I am glad you liked it. I am thinking it might be fun to do one for the 100th day and then for the last day of school.
DeleteYour frame turned out cute! I use a frame like this every year and it turns out so cute in pictures and the parents love it!

I am really excited to see how it works in pictures.
DeleteThe frame is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank so much you for taking the time to comment.
DeleteOh thank you so much! I have a frame that I painted last year but then didn't finish. The cuteness of this has given me a kick of inspiration to finish!!

I bet it will be darling when you finish. Good luck!
DeleteLove the frame! Did you buy a black mat, or did you have to paint it black? Heading to Hobby Lobby tomorrow! I am adding this to my list! Now, I will just need to find the neon letters!

I bought a black one. I was in Lakeshore a couple of weeks ago and they have a huge selection of pop-out letters. Have fun making this! It was quick and easy - just the kind of project I love.
