Where are we? Classroom door hangers


Ever have the school secretary wonder where your class is?  You can solve this problem by creating your own door hangers.   Save those cereal boxes!  I cut out a door hanger from this cereal box.  I used a deep cutting blade-speed medium-pressure maximum.


Materials used for this project:
Locker Talk cartridge-door hanger, page 68 cut at 11 inches, stack of books, page 47 cut at 4 inches
Makin the Grade cartridge-apple, cut at 2 1/2 inches, font for words welded the letters using the Gypsy
Create a Critter cartridge-worm, page 65 cut at 2 inches
Materials used for this project:
Plantin Schoolbook cartridge-grass, page 69 cut at 2 inches
Locker Talk cartridge-slide, page 45 cut at 4 inches
Create a Critter cartridge-sun, page 58 cut at 2 1/2 inches
I would recommend using a light weight paper to cover over the cardboard.  I really like this project because I can use both sides of the hanger for different purposes.  I have more to come!  I am in the process of making them now so I will post them this week.  I hope you enjoy these!!!!  Have a fantastic day! ;)

  2. Just found a link to your blog on the Cricut messageboard. I am loving it! I had been putting off getting back into my classroom, but I just found out yesterday that I've been switched from a 3 to a 2/3, so now my head is spinning with ideas. You have so many great projects on here. Thanks for the inspiration!
