How to Customize your Teacher Lightbox

Have ya’ll seen the teacher lightbox epidemic on Instagram? I was hesitant at first … but then it was on sale for half off at Michael’s and I got an additional 15% off with my teacher discount. How could I resist? I knew all along that if I got one I would have to customize it! Enter my projects for Monday Made it!  To order a teacher lightbox from Amazon click the picture below.

Customizing Your Teacher Lightbox

So first, I decided to paint my lightbox. I just masked it off and used leftover paint from last week’s Teacher Toolbox.
 Quick and easy project and makes my lightbox unique!
You could also use washi tape – they have large washi at Hobby Lobby, and Michael’s or duct tape around the edge!
Using Your Teacher Lightbox
So the whole reason I wanted to get a lightbox was to create my own sayings to go in it! I DID buy some letters and even the divider for smaller letters but I really wanted to create my own!
I used the “lightbox” to measure to create a template and went to town!!!! I am having so much fun making my own designs!
First up my TPT store logo!
How cool is that? Neat to have in the background if I ever work up the courage to do Periscopes or Facebook live!
Then Happy Birthday! I can use the individual letters I bought when I purchased the lightbox to put student names in the bottom!

  1. I think almost everyone has gotten the lightbox bug…lol. I bought the glittery tape that they sold along with it to put around it but have been too scared to add it. Thank you for linking up and so sweet of you to add a freebie!
