Monday Made It

Today I'm linking up with 4th Grade Frollics for the Monday Made It.  I only have 2 projects complexity finished, but 2 is better than 0.
First up is my new desktop caddy.  This used to be a Pampered chef utensil holder.  I actually used it to hold scrapbook supplies, like scissors and pens.  I was going to donate it it to the Goodwill, then had an idea to use it on my desk..  now instead of having lots of little containers to hold all my pens and scissor, I just have 1 and it spins.

Using some polka dotted ribbon and my Scotch adhesive runner, I transformed this in about 5 minutes.

I found this small box at Target for $3.  I made a label and turned it into our class first aid kit.

 In it I have bandages, sterile wipes and will be adding some gloves.

Well that's it for this week.  I have a lot of projects halfway started.  Hopefully I'll have them finished by next week.

I did the same thing earlier this summer with the Pampered Chef utensil holder! Except I didn't know what its original purpose was! Ha! I found it being thrown out by another teacher and grabbed it! I'm so excited for it! I love your simple decorated version!

I like the First Aid Kit idea! I hadn't thought of actually putting it all in a box. Mine is currently half in a backpack and half in a cabinet. I may see what I can find as far as small containers!

I've only been home from "vacation" (if you can call a trip to visit family a vacation haha), so I didn't get much done in the way of preparing for school. I did procrastinate on my homework long enough to make a new sign for my classroom library, though. :)

Looking forward to seeing what else you have come up with!
