Back To School "No More Bugs"

Back to School, Back to School. Everyone loves going Back to School!  It is that time of the year again, where we as parents pull out our pocketbooks and go through the list of things our kids need to be ready! But, let's get real are we ever READY? 
Ok, these two moms are READY but for a whole different reason then being READY! Do you catch my drift? {snicker snicker}  From finding the perfect new backpack, to getting a fresh hair doo there is always so much to do! And let's not forget about the list of "items" that the Teachers are in need of! They are always in need of Tissues, Hand Sanitizer, Wet Wipes, and other things that are important to have in a classroom. So when Laura Kelly and  Sizzix sent us the Pet Shop Die set I knew exactly what I wanted to make! Thank you to Sizzix and Laura Kelly! We love these dies! 
We all know that germs are everywhere, why not make a fun "No More Bugs Box" for every classroom?  What is it you ask?  Let me show you!!! 

This box is filled with the essential supplies one may need to keep the "bugs" from spreading in the classroom.  Using the fun Dragonfly, Worm, and Frog dies it brought this fun box to life!  

How to Create your own "No More Bugs Box"

I bought at Michaels, and painted it with DecoArt Acrylic Paint.  Went to the Dollar Store and purchased a bottle of Hand Sanitizer, Wet Wipes, Bandaids, and a plastic container.  Along with some plastic bugs and bug catcher.  I raced home and got busy! 

I cut several different colors of Dragonflies out of Kunin Felt and used Beacon 3-in-1 adhesive to adhere them to the net.  I added a pair of fun google eyes to the top of the net to give it a fun pop! 

I took the label off of the Wet Wipes and made my own label using my Cricut Explore Air and green vinyl.  Renaming the Wet Wipes to "Bug Catcher"  Great for a teacher that needs the kids to wipe their hands! I added the plastic Fly using the Beacon 3-in-1 adhesive again. ​(This post includes an affiliate link for the Cricut.)

Next I used some Goo Be Gone and removed the front and back label from the bottle of Hand Sanitizer.  Then I cut the word "Bug Juice" out of green vinyl (again using my Cricut Explore Air). Who doesn't need hand sanitizer in the classroom? This just makes it fun by saying go use the "Bug Juice" and get those hands clean! 

Now let's talk Bandaids!!!! Teacher or not, Bandaids are essential for keeping the bugs off of our cuts and wounds!  That is why I named this jar the "Bug Off" Jar.  I filled it with bandaids, cut the vinyl to say "Bug Off" topped it off with a worm I cut from the Kunin Felt using the worm die adhering with the Beacon 3-in-1 adhesive

Giving the box the final touches by adding the green yarn for grass, and some paper flowers.  This Bug Box is filled with fun, so much fun in fact all kids are going to want to get rid of bugs with a smile!  I guess what I am trying to say is why not make something fun like this to give your kids teacher using some of the supplies that may be on their supply list.  I personally am going to take this to my Aunt Jennifer who is a Pre-School teacher so she can have a Bug Free School this year!
