“99 a month if you sign up annually i found this adorable mermaid image which i thought would look great in the center of the clock and you can add your own custom font it's easy to do and there's so many fonts to play with you can also adjust the letter and line spacing to get it just how you want it to look i separated this into two different mats for two different colors and i also had my little helper help me load the mat and start the cricut maker machine [Music] at any age getting your kids involved in creative projects can really spark their own creativity even if it's just helping by pressing some buttons [Music] repeat the same process with weeding and applying the transfer tape and before you know it you have a sticker [Music] be sure you're applying your sticker onto a clean and dry surface i centered the mermaid image on the clock and decided to layer the pecs over it i love how the colors came out on this one the pink and green give it real mermaid vibes my daughter had some extra stickers with bubbles and fishies on it so she wanted to add it to her clock this was such a fun project and she loved how it turned out [Music] this next one has to be my favorite i got this idea from a friend of mine and got more inspiration from pinterest taking a plain whiteboard i mapped out the sections i needed i used the ruler to measure how big i wanted the different sections and then i used some thin washi tape to outline them washi tape is super forgiving when you need to make adjustments and comes in lots of colors and patterns you can also use a ruler to help guide you in making straight lines camille helped me by adding her own fun mermaid stickers to the board it really helps fill up some space and goes with the theme i continue the mermaid vibes with pink green and gold and now on to designing the titles this is my favorite yet fun easy to read fonts and i typed out the titles and separated them into two sheet colors by welding them together i learned that you can also add color to the text and images right in design space you can visually see how they'll look [Music] follow the same steps in weeding the sticker and adding the transfer tape it is just so easy once you get it down you'll be wanting to make vinyl stickers all day [Music] now it's time to stick them to your board you can easily customize this to whatever sections you need or even create a large calendar there are so many possibilities let me know in the comments what you would create with your whiteboard and what you would use it for i love adding this little inspirational quote because it just helps encourage us when times get tough and we know that virtual learning isn't always easy here is the hack that turns your white board into a rolling one all you need is a rolling clothing rack and some zip ties this white board already had holes in the corners and you can also drill your own if yours doesn't have any simply secure the zip ties onto each end and i just love this hack so much it's so easy and it's more affordable than the ones that you can find online you can also adjust the height of the board and secure it into place if you need to add a felt pad to cushion the back where it hits the pole my white board also came with a tray for pens and it really completes this whole project okay open your eyes she was honestly so happy with it and i love that we can both use it for teaching and learning and it's like bringing the classroom home i can easily wheel it to and from different rooms and it fits perfectly right next to her desk if you're interested in a full tour of her school desk base please give this video a thumbs up and let me know in the comments if you subscribe to my blog at madesimplycode”
