Duck Tape Mania

So.. I've caught the "Duck Tape bug" - I know I'm a little behind :)
You start with a trip to your favorite superstore to purchase just a "few" rolls of  duck tape.  A few of these rolls are for the Duck Tape pens my niece and I are going to make when she visits. (Yea for Pinterest projects!)

See..just a few - lol  Even Texas A&M  Duck Tape!!!




I found this cute "EZ start" type and decided to try it too.
1st project - time for a Clipboard Make-over

Before:  Boring and Marked-up
After:  FUN!! =)
Next, add a matching fluency phone (My sweet husband is making me a class set for my new 2nd grade classroom.)
How fun is this??!! =D

Thanks to Pinterest inspiration from: Classroom DIY 

So, grab some duck tape, get inspired, and have a FUN-FILLED Week!!

Thanks to Tara at  4th Grade Frolics who encouraged me to link up with her Monday Made It Linky. Check out all of the awesome ideas shared there!

  9. I love your clipboards! My clipboards for my kids are all different colors and they always fight over them. I would love to duck tape them so they all look the same... I pinned this idea, hope you don't mind! Thanks for the idea :)

  15. We are going to have to do a clipboard makeover too! For some reason kiddos always feel the need to write their names on the clipboards we have! (Only in the mind of a second grader would you write your OWN name on something that wasn't yours!!) This will be a great way to make them look better then new!
    We are following you now and we would love it if you want to stop by sometime!
