I can't believe tomorrow school is
back in session. It has been a great Christmas break. I was able to
relax, watch Gilmore Girls, and spend time with family and friends. Over
break I went into my classroom only ONCE!!! Yahoo! I did one project
over break for my classroom and I can't wait to start using them
tomorrow.My colleague found these letters at Hobby Lobby and wanted one
for every week. I thought it was a great idea and thought it would be
fun to add different textures that match the theme. Here are the first 4
letters I made.
M for Monsters
I bought Paper Mache Letters from Hobby Lobby
and painted it with lime green acrylic paint. Then I gorilla glued
(gel) the large wiggle eyes on. Then I hot glued neon pom poms on the
front and back. I did not put pom poms on the sides because I wanted the
shape of the letter to stay intact.
R for Rockets/Space
I
sprayed paint the letter R with a glossy black. I put to much on, so I
dabbed off the excess with a paper towel which it gave it some
dimension. Then I sprayed glitter spray paint. Once the painted dried I
add the glitter star stickers to the front and back.
W for Water
First,
I painted the edges with blue acrylic paint. Then I used the traced the
letter on this scrapbook paper. Once I cut it out, I used spray
adhesive to stick the scrapbook paper on the front and back.
O for Ocean
My
wonderful friend made this one for me. She used spray adhesive then
sprinkled sand on top. She did this 2 times. After the second layer of
sand was on, she then sprayed a top coat of the spray adhesive to help
the sand stay on the letter and not fall off.
