I used Elizabeth's (Fun in Room 4B - Another blog you should definitely check out!) template to make the labels and printed them on scrapbook paper.

Monday Made It!
So, I saw this "teacher toolbox" on Pinterest a few months ago and pinned it, knowing that I would have time over the summer to actually do it. I saw it again on some teaching blogs that I stalk and decided that today would be the big day! I'm linking up with Tara from 4th Grade Frolicks (you should definitely check out her blog!)... she is hosting "Monday Made It." :)
Anyway, on with the post! My classroom is going to be jungle themed, so I decided to paint my toolbox green. I quickly discovered that HEY, acrylic paint doesn't work so well on plastic! It was too late to fix it though, so I ended up brushing in diagonal strokes and the effect is actually pretty neat! I used a sponge to put a little bit of gold paint over the green and added some glitter paint to seal the deal. I also painted the borders blue, then sprayed Mod Podge acrylic sealer over the entire box so that little fingers won't smudge it up! :)
