If you saw my instagram, I had a 'fail' (IMO!) about my gold foil print from this tutorial. I guess it's because of the cardstock? I tried it on regular paper and it wasn't too bad. It could be the laminator, it could be the gold foil, lots of reasons.
I made 2 teacher toolboxes for friends of mine! I actually LOVE how they turned out. I used the black/red template from Lovin' Lit. She has a pirate theme going on. I used my old one for her, and used leopard duck tape because she's a wild one ;)
I left some blank for her to fill in as necessary :)
I LOVE how the back ended up looking even if it was a mistake *facepalm* Basically I printed a paper with the name and clip art at the bottom. I printed it Poster (through Adobe) and it printed on 4 sheets, but the size was too big for the clip art. Just enough for the names though! SO I taped it to cardstock. My conundrum? Too big for my laminator.
My solution? Two lamination sheets, open ends touching (I overlapped on the back just a little and taped it down so it would feed through properly) and then let it go through. It worked! Yay!
Here's the other one I made. All me this time and I'm quite proud of how it turned out! I used this gorgeous metallic black spray paint (originally gray) and I hate how I spray paint (so many splotches), whatever though. I used dimensions from Create.Teach.Share :)
What do you guys think?
School starting soon *bites nails* I saw my classroom for the first time today and maaaaaan. It'll be a challenge!








I know you still think your project was a fail, but I liked it. Aren't you genius to put your laminate together to go through the laminator. I wouldn't have ever thought to do that! Smarty pants!

Putting two sheets of laminate together was genius! I will have to try it myself, Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMake sure to tape a little and be careful of bunching :)
DeleteAnisa...remind me what you use to adhere your labels in your drawers? Mine needs a ravamp, and double stick tape hasn't really worked for me. I know you used something and I thought AHA! I need to try that. :)
