✨ Let’s Make It! Step-by-Step:

• Choose your phrase or name.
• “MRS. AGUILAR” / “WELCOME BACK” / “YOU GOT THIS” are great for the classroom.
• Prep your letters.
• If you’re using my 3D files, print them. If you ordered them ready-made, they’re good to go!
• Thread your garland.
• Layout your beads and decide how you want them laid out and begin beading until your full phrase is complete!
• Pro tip: I used a crochet needle to pull the ribbon through just because that is what I had laying around the house but I also linked giant needles found on amazon above!
• Knot the ends & hang it up!
• Display on your bulletin board, classroom door, desk, or gift it to a teacher bestie.

💡 Cheeky Ideas to Try:

• Make a seasonal version: “BOO,” “THANKFUL,” “GRACIAS PROFE”
• Host a DIY teacher night with your team
• Let your students help spell a class motto or quote!
