Teacher Toolbox

I want to go ahead and throw this out there..... This project was NOT my idea, and YES it did come from Pinterest. Thank you to whoever thought up this idea and also to the person who thought it was incredible enough to pin. The OCD in me truly appreciates it.

When I first saw this teacher toolbox on Pinterest, I thought I would have a coronary. I LOVED it. Anyone that knows me can tell you how much I love to organize things and I knew instantly that I wanted to make one of these.

The storage box itself came from Lowe's and was only $16.47. This particular box has 22 drawers, 8 large and 14 small. There are other variations of this storage box that offer 18 or 39 drawers, but I felt that 22 would be just perfect for me. Here is a link to the storage box: Stack-On 22 Drawer Storage Cabinet.

If you haven't discovered teacherspayteachers.com yet, then I really don't know what you have been doing on the internet. This site offers some INCREDIBLE resources for teachers of all grades and subjects. The premise of this site is for teachers to offer up their original lessons and other creations to other teachers for pretty small prices and sometimes even for FREE. I am pretty positive that I have downloaded every free item on the website. PLEASE, go check it out. With that being said, I found the labels to fit this teacher toolbox on Teachers Pay Teachers. Here is the link to the labels: Teacher Toolbox Labels- Dot Theme.

The labels are done in PowerPoint meaning that they can be personalized to fit your individual needs. I changed up some of the labels because I knew that I would never use some of them. All you have to do is print them, cut them out, and use some double sided tape to attach the labels to the inside of the drawers. An incredibly cheap and easy way to organize these small materials and keep them from cluttering up your desk.

I hope you all enjoy your teacher toolboxes! :)
