Let's talk tape!

I love all the different patterned duct tape that's out there right now! I've been using it for a couple of different things.

I have a window in my door with ugly metal framing, so I've covered it with tape. On one side is splattered paint tape, and the other side is a fall tape to welcome the season. 

My cabinets are where I keep the students' work. I've taped the grade labels to the cabinet with splattered paint tape. Very fitting for an art room!

Guide lines on the floor is another way I use the tape. One thing that has to be taught in elementary is how to get into a line. I have rainbow tye dyed tape outside my door, and star tape for getting in line at the drying rack. I tell my students to take their picture to the "all star line", and they know exactly where to go. No crowding around the drying rack!

Bulletin board border! I love using tape as border .

On a side note, lets talk border storage. I don't have a large paper drawer for borders and found that I didn't really have a spot to store them. My solution was to put two comand hooks up, tie some yarn to them,  and hang the borders on the string with bulldog clips.

This is in my supply closet. They're hanging up out of the way, nice and neat. I can also see what I have at a glace.

Do you use duct tape in a new cool way? Please share your ideas!

SNOW PLEASE!

First let me say that my thoughts and prayers are going out to the families and community in Connecticut. My heart is broken and when listening to the news all I could think of was my little ones faces at school. How sweet and precious they are. Don't take for granted the chance to hold on to and tell someone you love them.

I got into the door decorating mood this year and wanted to share my love of snow.

This is sort of my idea of a snow dance. I figured if I decorate for it, it will come. Sure the high today was in the 50's, but there's time. I'm leaving this door up until March and hoping everyday!
