I Love You Pin

I wanted to share a project that I made for some of the other teachers at the school I was at this year.  The school I was at was the school for the deaf and hearing impaired at the end of the year I made these pins as gifts for some of the other teachers.  I can't take credit for this project as I saw it made somewhere else several months ago, but I can't remember which blog I saw it on.  


To make the pin, I cut out the hand from My Community cartridge at 6" and the heart at 1" with shrinky dink film.  I then baked the two pieces and curled the two middle fingers down as soon as I took it out of the oven.  I used a hot glue gun to put the heart and hand together and add the pin.  I then made a little card to hold the pin.  I hope that you enjoy!

 Ingredients

My Community Cartridge

Frosted Shrinky Dink Film

Hot Glue Gun

Pins

Story Bags

Here is an idea that I use in my classroom for those of you who are teachers or have little kids in your life.  All of the cuts are from the My Community Cartridge.  I put the different story characters in Ziploc bags along with the story book.  The kids love to tell the story themselves using the characters.  I laminate all of the pieces to make them more durable to the wear that kids place on them.  Below I show the pieces of Goldilocks and the three Bears and The Three Little Pigs (My books are still at school).  You can also make many other stories like The Gingerbread Man, Jack in the Beanstalk, and Little Red Riding Hood.  Enjoy!
