Back to School Series: DIY Projects for Your Classroom

DIY:  You either HATE those three little letters, or LOVE them.  OR - you 

love to hate them.

I think I'm that last option.  I always have the greatest of intentions of doing DIY projects - but alas, they usually end up staying pinned on my "To Make..." Pinterest board collecting dust (sigh).

But - in case all you need is a little push to help you actually accomplish those DIY projects you have planned for your classroom, well then, consider this post your nudge (you'll thank me later).

In this post, I'm going to share with you DIY projects that you can do depending on the time you're willing to put into it.  You've got 3 effort categories, as I'll call them, to choose from.

  • "Go Easy On Me" (Easy Effort DIY Projects)

  • "I'm Ready, But Don't Go Crazy" (Medium Effort DIY Projects)

  • "DIY is my JAM! Let Me At It! (Only for the DIY Masters)

This is a “swim at your own risk” kind of post - have fun :)
