Personally, I'm VERY impressed. I have one like it, and the drawers are all still.....yup, clear.<br /><br />Marion<br /><a href="http://mentoringinthemiddle.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">MentoringintheMiddle</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168673562042013396.post-53321697229864147752013-08-20T07:43:01.665-07:002013-08-20T07:43:01.665-07:00Your honesty is so refreshing!

And you can use it as a character trait lesson for your kids next year - perseverance. ;) <br />In all honesty, I've had one of those teacher toolbox things that everyone made last year still in its Amazon box in my dining room from last year. Haven't bothered to make it yet. Since you are now the expert, you wouldn't want to mod podge paper into all the drawers for me, would you?? :)<br /><br />Jen<br /><a href="http://www.rundesroom.com" rel="nofollow">Runde's Room</a>Runde's Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10131626283927713737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168673562042013396.post-50399798630907484722013-08-20T01:52:42.711-07:002013-08-20T01:52:42.711-07:00I don't use modge podge either because I strug...I don't use modge podge either because I struggle with it too.

I hate it :) I think they look AWESOME with the colors and I love how your labels coordinate perfectly with them! It looks like a completely different storage unit! And you know what?

Not the same at Mod Podge in your eyes, I'm sure, but a weird place to find a drop of caramel had hardened.<br /><br />I'm glad you survived that and enJOYed that you were able to find humor in the process. Oh, and the drawers do look AmAzInG btw.<br /><br />BarbaraBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10926426214201766983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168673562042013396.post-24841077909690565852013-08-19T18:35:27.954-07:002013-08-19T18:35:27.954-07:00Don't think THAT didn't cross my mind!

Yikes!! I have to say, I always think it looks so nice when other teachers line those drawers with paper (and cover their file cabinets with pretty contact paper, and hang pretty fabric on the edges of tables...), but I feel like it is all way too much work!! The drawers look great tho--wanna come do mine? ;)Amy @ Juice Boxes + Crayolashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03394146179138283691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168673562042013396.post-37912329798053069132013-08-19T17:52:46.920-07:002013-08-19T17:52:46.920-07:00Hi Carol!

I recently mod podged some pencil boxes and before I took out the dreaded stuff, I sprayed my paper with spray adhesive and stuck it exactly where I wanted it. It was easily repositionnable too! Once that was dry, (only a few minutes), I applied a thin coat of mod podge to seal it all in. Thin coat is the key. Maybe a trick you can use next time...if there's a next time!
