Monday Made It with a Polka-Dot Freebie

Do you remember when you were young and you wanted what the popular girls had?   Maybe your mom told you didn't have to be like the popular girls and to love yourself for who you are.  

Well, my mom bought me the Guess Jeans and the Coca-Cola Shirts and the Bobbi Brown CD's and got me my own phone line (okay, so I had to BEG for this one).  My mom wanted me to be the popular girl.  
I wasn't and I was okay with that.  The head cheerleader of her youth cringe at the thought.

Last summer was deja-vu...I wanted a teacher toolbox like all the other bloggers had.  But my classroom budget just couldn't expand by one more dime.

  

So, this summer, it is my very first Monday Made-It!  
My mom would be so happy.  

I bought the gray one from Lowe's.  It looked a lot smaller than I originally thought it was.  I measured and rounded up a little due to printing.   Then, I printed them. Now, I'm committed to my Mermaid Theme.  Erin from Lovin' Lit did an excellent job at making Mermaid Papers!

The large drawer fit perfectly:)  The smaller drawer was a bit too small.  I enlarged it a tad and it was too big.  So I stuck with the smaller size, you really can't tell it when you tape it on. 

So, I printed all of them out and cut them all!  Guess what?  I  changed the page size and  they were WAYYYY TOO BIG! That took me an extra hour to re-format, print and cut.  

I used double sided tape along the right and left side of the paper.  It turned out pretty cute!  

 

After I made it, I was sooo proud, I sent pics to my friends and of course THEY WANTED ONE, TOO!

So, I made them labels to match their decor.  If you want to avoid the formatting and re-formatting, you can grab a copy of the labels from my TpT Store.  All you have to do is print, cut and tape!  Easy, Easy.

3 Different Designs: Cute & Girly Chevron-Dot; Blue - Green; Zebra Print

While I was working on the toolboxes and the finishing touches on my Cute & Girly Chevron-Dot Classroom Decor Pack (again for a friend).  I made this quick freebie I thought a few people might like.  Click on the pic to download:)
