School inspiration board with my Heidi Swapp Neon words

If you are a teacher like me,  then you know that school vacations, although welcomed are never really restful. You are always planning, organising, making and creating ideas and resources  for the next term or year.

We are half way through our school year here in Australia and I am alway looking for fun and fresh ideas to inspire my students. I grabbed one of the new  Heidi Swapp Neon words and wire and my Letterboard  both found at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores and set to work in creating an inspiration board for my classroom.

I started with the Neon word Shine and gave it a couple of coats of  lime paint I had in my stash. I then added some of my Gold Marquee Love Glitter to the star section of the Neon word for a touch of fun. Usually the Neon wire is threaded through this star section as well, but I wanted to add a touch of shimmer and shine instead. Once dry I followed the directions on the back of the packaging to thread my Blue Neon wire and I was complete. 

I then grabbed my large white letter board and completed the rest of my quote. I used the Black 1 inch letters and White 2 inch letters that I had previously spray painted yellow and a couple of stars from the Everyday Icons set to finish off.

I used a touch of blutac to the top of the letter h and some tape at the back of the Letterboard to hold the battery pack and Neon wire end in place.

I love the combo of green, yellow, black and gold...perfectly bright and fun for my classroom.

I still have a week to go with my school vacation, but I am  excited to head back to school with my Inspirational letter board. I know my students are going to think the Neon is so cool!

Don't forget you can find the Heidi Swapp Neon words and  Letterboards and accessories at your local Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store.
