Primary Song Board

I made this as a way for the children to pick which songs to sing in primary. I took the side of cardboard box and covered it with white paper (I used 12x12 sheets and the edges are hidden under the tree, grass, and water). Then I cut out pieces for the tree, grass, pond, and clouds. I "laminated" the board using packing tape. I covered all the pocket pieces separately, then used packing tape around the edges to create pockets for the animals to rest in. I made the animals using my handy dandy Cricut (New Arrival and Wild Card cartridges). I wrote a song on the back of each animal, then "laminated" them. I think it came out super cute, and the kids love using it to pick songs.

Cardboard VHS Shelves

Well, we had lots of cardboard boxes and packing tape, and I really needed a way to store all our VHS tapes without spending any money (since we don't have any to spend). I was met with a lot of skepticism when I said I was going to make shelves out of cardboard. Well, who's laughing now?

Okay, but seriously, I don't know why I enjoy making things like this, but I do. I mean, making things out of cheap supplies, and making them work! Sure, it's ghetto, but I kind of like that.
