I’ve been busy camping and spending time with my friends and family, everything a teacher on summer should be doing, right?? Oh and I also spent a little bit of time in my classroom. I’m one of those {crazy} people who LOVE to get everything done before we have to go back for our meetings and such in August.
Needing a cheap storage solution? Pin it to save!
I shared this on my Facebook page the other day and had a lot of questions about the blue bins and the black drawers. Good for you and me that I had already planned on blogging on both of them!
So here is what I did: I found these awesome cups at Ikea. They are $1.99 for a 6 pack. I then took a drive up to Dollar Tree and found these bins for $1 each. Lucky for me, the cups fit in here perfectly! I totally know this because I had the cups in my purse when I went in there!
Right there you are at $3.00 per table group. This is the same price as one of those table caddies {I can never seem to find these at Michaels} minus the organized brightness! I created, cut and laminated the team labels and slapped them on the fronts with velcro.
Now onto the organized part, each cup withhold their supplies. You can easily have a cup for each student but I like the simple look of everything being sorted. So one cup will be pencils, markers, glue sticks, colored pencils, scissors, etc. I’ll make sure to update the picture once I actually have school supplies in there! There you go: cheap, easy and organized as promised!
I wish I knew the 6 IKEA cup trick! I have the same bins and just did an IKEA road trip last Friday.
