GINGHAM
Now that it is summer, I have a lot of things to tackle around the house, as well as get ready for my new classroom. I am making valances for my classroom window. I am thrilled to have a window in my new room, something I had always taken for granted before last year when I didn't have one. I am also making a curtain for the back of my desk that faces the room, and under the classroom sink (something else I am excited to have again!) This is going to be my first year having a real theme. My wonderful husband made me some wonderful crate seats for my Reading Table in various gingham colors, so I will continue that theme with the curtains, valances, and bulletin boards. These crates are cushier than ones seen on Pinterest, because he felt my students deserved cushy seats. :)

What kind of cushion did you use for the padding of the seats?
ReplyDeleteVery cute idea!!
Hi! Hobby Lobby (and other craft places like it) sell thick and thin foam in rolls or squares near the fabric section. My husband wanted the kids to have very cushy seats, so we got a thicker foam. He trimmed it to match the piece of plywood that he'd cut to fit the crate opening. We glued the foam to the plywood, then wrapped the fabric around and stapled it at the bottom. They were fun to make, and my students loved them!
