Recycling At It's Best

Last week I was inspired by Rachel's post about what she was doing in her classroom.  After going into my new classroom, I wanted to do something to "AMP" it up since we are going to be using SMART amp this year.   I will have much more space than before, which is fabulous, so I thought I would re-do some things. It has to look nicer than before, since I will have the space, With just a little time before school starts, I was talking with my friend, an idea hit me.  I created table pencil holders using old Coke bottles, and ribbon.  I will use different color ribbon for each table, that way they serve different purposes.  I tried one, and ABSOLUTELY love it.  I think they will be very useful, and I was able to recycle some Coke bottles.  They took all of 5 minutes to make, too.  I thought I can also go buy some fancy gems, and do-dads to "bedazzle" them, if I feel like it, but for now, I like the way they look like this.  What do you think?
