Easy D.I.Y. Hall Passes

So here's my take...

In the past I have purchased hall passes 

and usually within two years they are destroyed!

Sound familiar? 

I was inspired by a pin to create my own hall passes this year. They were easy, cheap, and fun to do! 

This pin came from Nicole at Crafty Soccer Mom! 

She is definitely crafty and gives easy directions to follow so you too can create Duct Tape Lanyards!

I was SUPER excited 

with how my DIY Hall Passes turned out! 

...and yes they were easy peasy to create! 

I already had the zebra lanyards (from Home Depot) before I found the pin but I did buy some zebra duct tape for when the store bought ones break! The badge protectors I found at staples and the "Assorted Findings" (actual name...weird I know!) I found at JoAnn's.

I love how they turned out 

so I just have to share!

Treasures from the Dollar BIn!

So here's my take...

You know you are ready for the next school year when you get a HUGE adrenal rush from the dollar bin! I hit Target yesterday and came away with a truck load of awesomeness!!! 

I plan on redecorating my classroom this year with colors from my blog. I couldn't believe my luck when I hobbled over to the dollar bins (thank goodness those are in the front of the store!)

Today I decided to create recycle bins inspired by a pin I found this past week from 

Laura at Peace, Love, & First Grade!

I used the pink/blue bins above and then I made the "got paper?" signs. I absolutely love the end result! I only hope it inspires my kiddos to make sure to keep paper off the floor!!!

I can't wait to create more things from the treasures I bought yesterday! It amazes me how a good shopping trip can put me in the back to school mood!

I hope you find some treasures in the dollar bins this summer too! 

Enjoy the Recycle Bin Signs.
