Throw some kindness around!

I am really loving DIY lately or I could just be hardcore procrastinating from my real jobs. Today, I took on the challenge to create a door decoration for my demountable. But now that it is finished, I am thinking of attaching it to my store room door. Initially, I wanted to stick the door decoration right outside the classroom door. However, my door has to bear with all seasons: rain, hail or shine. I tried laminating it to make it weather proof but I don't think it will last over a long run.

Above: I used three Posca pens for this project. Posca pen is pretty much paint inside a pen. It is easier to control and thus minimises accidents. I used black to write the word 'confetti', I used pink to make a border around the banner and I used white to write 'Ms'. The circle papers was purchased from the Reject Shop for $2.50. I used it to make the word 'kindness' and to provide a base for the word 'confetti'. For $2.50 it came with a generous amount of 100 fluro sheets. I only used 18 sheets.

Above: I actually timed myself. It took 15 mins to write 'confetti' and another 16 mins to cut out 'kindness'. Another 26 mins was used to cut out 'THROW' and 'LIKE'. For all writing and cutting, I did it free hand as I was too lazy to plan ahead. 

Above: I stopped timing when I got up to making the banner. It was quite easy to do. Again the cutting was done free hand without proper measurements. I think it gives it a more authentic DIY look.

Above: This door decoration is made up of 6 laminated posters. I had to glue everything down before laminating. The total time spent on this project was a scary 4.5 hour. 

Above: This is the scale of the door decoration.

Above: My overly expensive $59 Aud Chime arrived today. I purchased it on Ebay. The best price at the moment is $51 Aud. I plan to use it in my classroom to control noise level and to redirect attention. I might also use this when I do a presentation on Classroom Management during Staff Development Day. 

Above: I am please that to support a company that shows love and a genuine care for their workers.
