Monday Made It - Toolbox

First, does blogspot not let you see comments that others have replied to? For example, if I comment on Tara's post and she responds, will I ever be notified?! I've left comments all over the place and have never gotten a notification which makes me think I'm being ignored. But I checked back on one person's post, and they had replied! I was never informed though, which strikes me as odd.

Monday Made It and linking up with Tara at 4th Grade Frolics.

Second, everyone and their mom has posted about these, I KNOW, and I've actually already posted mine on another post BUT I redid it and it's BEAUTIFUL. I first used the dimensions given by Mrs. Rojas at Create Teach Share who was the original toolbox creator that made it go crazy I believe. Anyway, I made my own labels, cut them on cardstock, outlined on pretty scrapbook paper. Then I cut just the label name from the cardstock, keeping the length the same, but just cutting the width. I used coordinating colors, obviously. I used a tape dot runner to stick the cardstock onto the scrapbook paper and then used double stick tape to stick the scrapbook paper to the inside of the drawer. I covered the entire thing in pink zebra packing tape. I think it looks quite a bit better than my other one (here for reference). I did some other things in my class too, but I forgot to take pics. Maybe next week. Hope you like my toolbox!

You can look at my version of the labels here on Google Docs. I used the font smileymonster from Kevin and Amanda (best site ever). The formatting is kind of messed up, but the sizes should work. Just have text boxes matching your toolbox drawer size.
