Teacher Creativity Blog Hop

I love  Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores, do you? 
I went to their store recently and found SO MANY things that would work in my classroom. I think we all know how much I love crafty projects!  I am joining in on a great little blog hop this week with some bloggy friends.  Be sure to check each of their blogs  to see what they made this week (links at the bottom of my post)!

Nowonto what I did!
I found the most adorable blue metal mailbox at Jo-Ann, but it wasn't quite the shade of turquoise that I wantedso I spray painted it! And then I added accents (I used hot glue).  I plan to use the mailbox for Valentine's Day Notes and then retire it to my writing station =)

But I didn't stop there, I also found super cute paint buckets to use for storage!
I HAD to paint the lids turquoise to match my classroom.

  10. Ha ha just did this and it literally took me less than 3 min! Minus the paint of course. The metal matches my class so the washi was the perfect touch. Thanks!
