ATTENTION! ATTENTION!
Project underway!
I am making centers in coffee canisters for next year. The idea is to put supplies and directions in one place, number them and then myself, my aides or a substitute could take them out and use them. Simple right? Well originally I got the idea from a teacher who had 30 centers in tubs. It has taken me several years to come up with a good way to replicate that system. These coffee canisters are perfect.
The first thing was to choose spray paint. I didn't really like the colors on the plastic spray paint. Then I found this Valspar spray paint that goes on almost anything. Turns out it, works on plastic!!!
After choosing two wonderful colors I started painting. I used green and purple.
Then I decided to use paint the lids too. Probably more trouble than its worth! They would have looked fine with the black lids and saved me a headache.
I had some company for my adventure.
And living in Nevada when it looks like this and is 100 degrees outside things dry quickly.
After they were dry I used the Cricuit and the calendar cartridge to cut the numbers. I love Mod Podge. Goes on messy dries clear and wonderful!
My finished product is wonderful and I can't wait to fill them with activities and use them this year. I will post some of the activities as I work on them.
