Creating our passes.

This summer a few of my favorite teacher friends and I got together to make some of our Pinterest inspirations a reality. Over the years, I have had my share of hall passes. They often get lost, broken, become a weapon, or are so germy and disgusting that they don't last. I have tried all sorts of different kinds, styles, anf materials. This year I have decided to try clothes pins. I needed something cheap and easy, but also not something the kids would need to hold on to or potentially set down. Also wanted to keep the bathroom germs to a minimum. This seemed like a great and inexpensive option to try out.

We hit Hobby Lobby and bought thin wooden rectangles or circles depending on our taste, repositionable vinyl that we could use in the Cricut, ribbon, spray paint, and fun Washi tape to cover the clothes pins we grabbed at the Dollar General. 

Here they are:

We are 4 days in and so far the clothes pin passes are working great. The Washi tape may not be sticky enough to last, so perhaps we will switch to Duct Tape if needed.
