Quiet Spray

My sister in law had told me about "Quiet Spray" on pinterest.  DD1 often complains about having to put her head down because the class is noisy (according to her it's never her lol).  She had heard us talking about quiet spray and one day after school she told me that her teacher needed some.  I guess she also had told her teacher this too.


So I searched out more ideas on Quiet Spray!


I got the original idea here but I wanted to see if I could find a printable to make it a little easier on me to make ;)  So I found this one with a quick swagbucks search of "quiet spray classroom" and it lead me to a site where I could print off an image for quiet spray.


I don't have a colour printer.....so I had to break out the kids markers, but I think the overall effect will still be there.

Clear Storage Drawer Pin



I saw a pin on pinterest on making your clear storage drawers pretty.   So I have a drawer (different than the one in the pin) that I wanted to use for hair ties/brushes etc and decided to give it a go!


My not so pretty plastic storage bin 
My trusty Making Memories trimmer and scrapbook paper (courtesy of my website)
I don't have modge podge in my house so I opted to water down some sobo glue.  No specific way - the first batch was good and the second too runny.
Glue on the inside before the paper.

Since my bins had quite an indent I needed to hand cut with a scissors to work around it. 
Tried to do the folds 2 different ways.   
and/or


This ended up being my preferred way to fold around


Glue over the paper again.
Waiting to dry

Finished project - OK I was too impatient to wait for it to dry completely.
Used some stickers to label the drawers.  Would have loved to use book plate style but I didn't have any self-adhesive ones.  For some reason I could NOT take a straight picture of it either (I tried many many times - the floor must be slanted or something).
