Monday Made It #2

Happy Monday ya'll! I hope you are staying cool in this hot month of July! I am excited to link up again with Tara from 4th Grade Frolics for Monday Made it!

I honestly have no idea what I did before there was Instagram. I think it is my favorite social media outlet! Especially for teachers! I get so many good ideas and things I want to try or use in my classroom. I was perusing my feed and saw some of the amazing things the Target Back to School Section has. My eye was caught on the magnetic locker bins. I am always losing my dry erase markers and erasers, so I bought them! The long one can be found here, the shorter one can be found here!

They are relatively cheap. The longer one was only $3.99, and the shorter one was only $2.99. 

The magnets on the baskets are very strong, so you don't have to worry about it sliding down your white board!

I wanted to make labels for these bins because who doesn't love labels?! I also love to label things for my students just for them to know where things go in the classroom. 

I am going to use the long one for my dry erase markers.

The shorter one fits white board erasers perfectly. I think it'll even fit two erasers!

First, I laminated both of the labels to make them more durable because I tried without laminating and it one, didn't look good, and two, it was too flimsy. 

I then used these velcro circles to attach the labels to the bins. I tried magnets and tape, and neither of them worked at well as the velcro. They seem to be staying with out feeling like they are going to fall off.

After attaching the labels, the bins were ready to go and be used on my white board!

I have created a FREEBIE for you. If you are wanting these labels to use in your classroom, you're in luck! I have made a freebie on my TeachersPayTeachers store that includes 8 different colors of the labels! Click the picture below to get your labels! 

Until next time,
