Disney DIY-s!

I had the best time making these items for Disney! I made 4 shirts, and then an autograph felt banner. I got all the shirts from Target and the felt from Hobby Lobby.

I used my cricut machine and I think they turned out pretty decent :)

Day 1 at the Magic Kingdom. I bought this SVG file. I used rose gold HTV on a black shirt.

I created this design from teacher fonts (inspired by this) - the bottom cut off sadly :( White htv from Amazon on a gray shirt. 

I bought this svg from here with black glitter HTV on a white shirt. 

I made this for my niece from this SVG with this galaxy htv. 

And I made this from a rose gold htv on felt, trimmed the felt, and hot glued a tassel banner on the edges. 

We're going this weekend and I'm SO STOKED!

Unicorn Birthday Iftar

It's been over a year since my last post, WHOOPS! I come back with a unicorn iftar birthday party for my 30th (😯)! I apologize for any terrible picture qualities in advance!

3 vinyl tablecloths (HEB) to make up backdrop, HOORAY banner (Target), and unicorn balloon made up the wall space. Food, a lighbox, a lit up unicorn, and a rainbow centerpiece was the table along with array of food.

God bless the internet. Rainbow Pinwheels (I used garlic hummus instead :D)

Found this from another website - unicorn fur aka cotton candy!

Plates and napkins courtesy of my favorite place ever: Target

Lightbox decor

Rainbow bites that didn't set properly, whoops. Fruity Pebble Krispie Treats essentially. 

My friends' favorite treats - basically a spring roll wrapper stuffed with meat

Fruit Rainbow! Such a beauty :D - watermelon, tangerines, mango, green grapes, blueberries, and purple grapes

 

Frothy Cloud Punch - So easy and delicious - rainbow sherbet with some 7 Up and edible gold stars! 

Even the water bottles had to shine!

Loved this tassel from Target along with confetti balloons and Christmas lights :)

To add to the decor, a cool quote and then picking your unicorn name

The requisite age balloons (from my sister haha)

 

My friend made this gorgeous cake for me (I bought the horn and ears and eyelashes off Amazon) - and of course I created a snapchat filter for the party, because why not? YOLO right?

And of course, the party favors! Spray painted some unicorn toys from Amazon, glued them on top of a mini mason jar with kisses inside. 

Not pictured - Magical Lemonade - which was also fun. Butterfly Pea Tea with some lemonade resulted in a pretty magical drink ;)

We had a good time and I had fun doing all of this, even if I do stress myself out and am so extra haha

May the 4th be with you

I just wanted to show my creation! I basically copied all of what's written Here and made my own diy shirt. It didn't turn out bad - but def got some spray on the sleeve...whoops!

Hope your day has been swell :) I need to get used to that spray haha 

High Tea Baby Shower

We had a baby shower for a friend of ours, so we decided to do a 'high tea' theme (or in hindi, cha)

Wreath (wrapped in ribbon) and cut out tea kettles and cups in scrapbook paper

Some prizes:

Pink nail polish: pre-tea in pink

Tea lights with washi tape: you're such a tea-light

Cutie tangerines: you're such a cu-tea

Smartie candies: go smar-tea pants!

Mug with watercolor nailpolish diy: aren't you a ho-tea!

Favors: tea bags wrapped in two mini doilies tied with ribbon

Onesies - either for decor or for signing (a cool momento)
be-you-tea-ful
cu-tea
swee-tea

Emoji-ng Pong Test Review

I haven't posted in awhile, but I played this today with my class, finally using the emoji ping pongs I bought this summer from Five Below.

It was inspired by MissCalcul8 and her Fish Pong game and I changed it a little. I bought yellow cups from the Dollar Store and painted the rims, giving each one a different paint value. I drew the emojis on there so ignore the mess haha. I hot glued them on a printer box lid and the kids had to stand from a certain distance and throw their ping pong into the cup. 

They got one point for answering the question correctly [they're clickable emojis that go to a certain slide with their review questions for their test] - Yay Erintegration for some of the emojis :D 

I just printed out the first slide so I'd know which question was used. An easy way for me to track how many got done, etc. 

It was fun, engaging, and I know most had a blast trying to score! ....even if some did call it beer pong. Whoops.

DIY Lazy Susan

Hey y'all!

I haven't been here in a whiiiile. Mostly on IG instead, but wanted to do an update post :)

I bought a lazy susan this summer from Ikea after I had seen someone on Insta post her supply caddy and I was instantly hooked.

I FINALLY got it taken care of this weekend.

Items:
Lazy Susan
Spray Paint (rose gold and black)
Lace (spray painted it rose gold first, put the lace, and then spray painted it black)
E600 glue
Magnets (glue on the magnets to the lazy susan and the metal pails attract automatically)
7 Pails [Target <3_<3]

Of course, a pail of it's own for Flair pens and InkJoy Gel Pens.

I adore how it turned out, of course with it's imperfections haha

MMI: MATH + box + print

Time for Monday Made It!

I love Mondays in summer for this reason :D

2 in 1 picture!

MATH letters

I bought the wooden letters at Hobby Lobby along with the most gorgeous scrapbook paper (called Sabado Domingo) and I instantly became obsessed with the colors.

Super simple - trace, glue, trim, mod podge :D It was a process longer than I'd like and I had bubbles (as always - I SUCK at mod podging haha) but I think the end result looks decent. What do you think?

I bought some material with very similar colors so I can't wait to redo one of my bulletin boards with it!

Box + Label

I am trying to incorporate a little more flexible seating, so I bought 30 clipboards and numbered them because I will have 5 classes, and each kid has a number). I didn't have a box, but I was checking out at Target and saw the box the notebooks come in and they let me have it.

I wrapped the box in wrapping paper (after looking up a video on how to do it neatly). The wrapping paper is white with thin gold stripes (same as my desk last year) but the picture looks distorted, sorry about that. I then made a label for them on either side (laminated and glued on the box) and voila!

Another quote/image for my class! I have been adoring everything watercolor lately and I saw this quote on a board and Francesca's and I knew I wanted it in my class (except not for $14) so I whipped this up in PowerPoint. I wish I could print it on canvas or paint and letter it myself, but alas I ain't that crafty. So a print will have to do ;)

I can't wait to see everyone else's creations!

MMI: New Classroom Quote

Monday Made It Time with Tara over at 4th Grade Frolics

A quick one today. I've been catching up on reading and just finished Wonder, a lovely book. I read quite a few precepts/quotes inside, but this one is my favorite. I plan on making a kindness bulletin board and want to add this to it. 

As usual, Megan at I Teach, What's Your Superpower, continues to provide the BEST graphics :) This might be plastered everywhere in my class this year ;)

D: Dance Party Review

I am doing the ABC Countdown for the last few days with my 6th graders. We have a test tomorrow so we needed a review to do today and it was D - Dance Party.

I did a twist on 4 corners and had each corner and answer choice associated with a dance.

So kids got into groups and I called out a question. They talked to each other to confirm answers and had to dance their way to that corner. They had to prove the answer to me and why it worked.

Then I played the music revealing the right answer and the whole class danced. I think they enjoyed it, kept people moving, and conversation flowing :)

I used TubeChop to cut the youtube videos to relevant parts. If you want them, they're below.

A - Whip and Nae Nae
B - Macarena
C - Chicken Dance
D - Dab

There's not a real song I could properly find for the Dab so I had to do what I could.

Currently: May 2016

Linking up with Farley for her last Currently!

If all goes well, I'll be having another post tomorrow for a review idea :D
