While at Wally World, I found large plastic treasure boxes in red, blue and lime green for only $5.00. I paid 3 times as much for mine :0( But I did find their 88 cents section for teachers.... SCORE!!!
I also discovered that Michaels has a sale on acrylic paints, foam brushes, ribbon, duct tape and clearance plastic tubs. We'll that's the makings of a project! I decided to create a tub similar to one I saw at the Polka Dot Patch because I needed a tub to hold student lunches. I found the perfect lime green color to match my new Rainbow classroom theme. I''m going to cut out rainbow colored dots from duct tape to put on the bucket and make ribbons to decorate the handles. I had a weak attempt at making a bow with ribbon scraps ....

That led me to my next project - a painted canvas for my classroom door. Again, I had no luck with the ribbon but I'll try my luck on Pinterest for ideas. This is my progress so far....
