I've Got A Glue Gun, and I'm Not Afraid To Use It
What have you been crafting this week? Have you been as nut-so as me?
I may or may not have burned my finger once or twice with said glue gun. Both of my kids were at camp last week, so this chick has been BUSY!
Naturally, I’m linking up with my friend, Tara:
I made these for my shelves. You know, I hate clutter. So, if there is clutter, cover it, girl. Cover it!
I love them! My Momma helped me. She’s cool like that.
Next up- A Teacher’s Toolbox:
Now, I know we are ALL making these, right? Like everyone I know. Everyone.
The inspiration comes from Create*Teach*Share:
Seeing as my classroom is now pink, lime green, purple and teal, I needed to create one that suited that color scheme.
Here’s mine:
I’ve seen templates out there, but I created my own that I’m sharing with you. Let me explain:
I’m type A. Duh.
I needed it to have specific words. I have a ton of Sharpies and needed a drawer to say that, you see. So, I spent a while (hours, really) creating my own template. I’ve got it for you in a Word document. That means you can edit yours, too.
Here’s the kicker. If you do not already have the font I used downloaded on your computer, it may download all wonky and then I’m not sure how to help you. Maybe someone cool like Kristen or Michelle can, but not me. I’m still a novice at this in comparison to those chicks.
The font I used was from Kevin and Amanda. It was Pea Kylie. I’d say go to this site:
http://kevinandamanda.com/fonts/fontsforpeas/ and download the font. Then download my freebie.
I linked this up with Classroom Freebies. If you don’t visit Classroom Freebies Manic Monday, you are missing out on tons of great freebies and ideas:
You can grab my Teacher’s Toolbox Editable Template from TPT or TN.
One last thing before I leave you. Today is the day to start voting for me over at Really Good Stuff. See this post for details.
Please and thank you. A LOT.
Your template looks great! I love how the words are printed right onto the paper! I will have to come back and visit if I decide to make my own. 🙂Marvelous Multiagers!
I'm a BIG fan of Marker Felt font. You should have it on Word!!

I love your toolbox! Thanks for sharing the template. I just bought my box yesterday and will be using it to make my own.
I love your teacher toolbox! I made one too! I used a different template though! Check out my toolbox and blog! Your newest follower, Stephaniehttp://primarypossibilities.blogspot.com/2012/06/teacher-toolbox.html
I will be making curtains to cover my clutter, too! I have to built in shelves at the back of my new room. I will try to keep them neat, but you know how that goes.✰BeccaFun is Found in Fourth
Thanks for sharing. I really like your toolbox and appreciate the template. Where did you get your box at??Pattie
Hi Pattie,I bought mine at Lowes.
Thank you so much for sharing your template. I REALLY needed it. I haven't made my toolbox yet but plan to soon.Hooty's Homeroom
Did you spray paint your box? If so, what kind of paint did you use?
I am so excited about making my toolbox!! Thank you so much for the template…what did you use to attach the paper…hot glue or tape???? Thanks for your help!!Kelle Schlueter
Great work on everything! I'm a 3rd/4th/5th/6th grade behavior unit teacher and I loooooove the organization of the toolbox. Is there a ace where I can order my own?
I am loving your toolbox and the colors of your room!!! Super duper cute!!!
Home Depot or Lowes… Around $15 for one.
Love the tool box! Thank you so much for the template! How do you adhere the labels to the drawers? Thanks for all you do!
I can't find the template on TPT. I am dying to do this!
I was wondering the same thing!
Thank you so much! I used someone else's template a few months ago and I was searching for it the other and couldn't find it. (I'm re-doing mine to match my new theme.) I really didn't want to have to make a template all by myself…. so this is great! I'm your newest follower, too!ErinFirst with Franklin

Hi there Michelle,I used my Xyron sticker maker and put the sticky part on the top and then stuck the paper to the inside of the drawer. Make sense?
Hi guys,I used spray paint that is made for plastic. I got mine from Home Depot. But, they sell it at Lowes, too.
Thanks, Erin. And thank you for adding the link to the previous comment to help out 🙂
LOVE IT! Thank you. I got my toolbox at the end of last year and set it up, but I knew it was temporary. I love this template. Thank you again!
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing this template! :):) AshleyThe Real Teachr: Tips, Tricks, Freebies and Everyday Ideas for Real Teachers
To save the font you can embed it in the Word document then people won't have to go download your font. (Google directions on how to embed in your version of Word).Really cute!! I'm new to blogging and am so glad I found yours. Check out my blog if you get a chance! :)2nd Grade TeacherThe Sweetest Thing Blog
Thank you so much for making the templates for the Teacher Toolbox! I used it this morning to create mine. It makes this project so simple! I love your blog and will be following 🙂
Is there anyway you can send me the template for your teacher toolbox in a pdf format? I tried to download your word template and nothing came up. Thanks! Marthamshaw@saa-sds.org
I couldn't get the word doc to pop up. Could you e-mail it to me alexsmom910@gmail.com?AND I love the curtains! I'm making some before conferences…totally gonna do it.Thanks for the inspiration!
Nina,You have to go to the link in my TPT or TN stores. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/A-Teachers-Toolbox-Editable-Templatehttp://www.teachersnotebook.com/product/esupan/a-teachers-toolbox-editable-templateThanks,Elizabeth
Love the teacher toolkit — what kind of box are you using? Emily
Love the copy, file, grade printable! Thanks for sharing!Abbie
I can't wait to use this. Just bought the toolbox from HD, yet it's a yucky gray. Did you by chance use spray paint on your toolbox? Also, is modge podge used to attach the labels onto the drawers? Sorry…I'm so not crafty girl! Thanks!Kriskueenkrissy@gmail.com
I spray painted mine first. I didn't use Mod Podge. It's too messy for me. I ran mine through a sticker maker with the “sticky” adhering to the top “pretty” side. Then, I stuck it to the inside of the drawer. Hope this helps!
Thank you so much. I am a first year teacher and saw this box in a few teacher's classrooms I subbed in last year. I am so glad I am able to make this myself. Thanks for the link to the fonts too!
