Menu Board

I am probably one of the most indecisive girls you will ever meet. I never know what I want to do, eat, wear, etc. So after a long day at work and my drive, I have no idea what to cook for dinner. Therefore, back in September I thought a menu board for Michael and I would be the perfect idea! I had an old frame lying around as well as scrapbook paper. Therefore, I didn’t pay for a thing!

What you need:

Frame
Scrapbook Paper
Computer Paper
Glue
Markers

How to make:

1. Choose a design of scrapbook paper that you like/matches the room. Cut this paper to fit the frame of your liking.

2. Write (or print) the letters or words of the days of the week on plain paper.

3. Cut out your letters/words of the week and glue them to an accent color that matches the background paper. Use additional accent color paper to have to be able to write what you’re making/having for dinner that night.

4. Glue the phrases and pieces of paper onto your background paper how you would like to design it.

5. Place in the paper in your frame and use the markers to write on your menu!

6. Hang anywhere in your kitchen!

Teacher Pencil Vase

I came across this cute craft one afternoon while on the internet. Since I don’t have a classroom of my own (sadly), I thought I could still make it for my middle sister since she teaches in an elementary school. I thought a Pencil Vase that held matching colored flowers would be so cute (now that I think about it, I could have used color pencils to brighten it up a little especially for Lauren’s 3^rd classroom)!

What you need:

1. Container (I used a can)
2. Number 2 Pencils (or colored pencils now that come to think of it)
3. Rubber band
4. Glue Stick
5. Glue Gun
6. Ribbon
7. Flowers

Instructions:

1. Wrap a few pencils around a can and secure with a rubber band.
2. Continue to insert more pencils all around the can inside the rubber band.
3. From the inside, I used my glue gun to help the pencils stick together.
4. Once it was dry, I removed the rubber band. Cut some ribbon and tie around the vase.
5. Lastly, I put fake flowers in the can.
6. Enjoy an inexpensive craft to look cute for any teacher you may know!

S'more Lovin'

If anyone knows me, they know I absolutely LOVE anything to do with S’mores. For a family reunion back in December, I was making a dessert. I absolutely love making cake pops but wanted to try something different. I remember seeing on pinterest a long time ago a picture of a “S’more Pop” so I decided to make my own. It was so easy that I didn’t even have to look up a recipe. I hope you enjoy them just as much as I did!

What you need:
1 Bag of Marshmallows
Candy Sticks
Melting Chocolate
Graham Crackers (crumbled)

Instructions:

1. Take your Marshmallows and place each one onto a Candy Stick.
2. Melt your chocolate and dip the marshmallow on a stick, half way.
3. Before the chocolate melts, sprinkle the crushed graham cracker over the chocolate marshmallows.
4. Enjoy :)
