Have you ever had so much to do during the last few weeks before school starts, but all you want to do is make cute decorations for your room? No? Yes? Maybe? I will admit it. This year, while I should have been getting my CAFE binder ready, I was crafting! Silly! My project did turn out cute though. My philosophy is--if my classroom feels happy and beautiful, then my students and I will enjoy the atmosphere and we will feel even happier being there all day long.
I did a major classroom overhaul this year (thank you Pinterest!) It was so much fun searching for the perfect additions to my room. I did not pick a specific theme, but I did all my bulletin boards matching in a bright yellow and all of my borders are black with bright multi colored polka dots. I made some tissue paper pom poms for my table group signs, which turned out very cute. But, when I looked around my room there was still one sad corner that needed something special. When I came across this adorable tissue paper owl tutorial from Little Sprout Creations http://www.littlesproutcreations.com/2011/09/diy-tissue-pom-owls/Owls I knew that I had found the perfect solution. Check out my cute owls below.
This is my favorite one...the spotted owl!
Happy Decorating!
