How to make teaching printables and classroom decorating kits to sell on teachers pay teachers

Making printables is my favorire thing to do! So after numerous requests from teacher friends and customers I finally got around to making some classroom decorating & organisation printables… Which led me to filming videos and eventually creating an ecourse if you want to learn how to make them!

If you’re a teacher that’s tired of forking out money each year for cute printables to decorate your classroom – now you’ll be able to make your own 🙂 And you’ll be able to make them in any font style, color, size, shape and quantity that you like!

No need to pay for a custom order or spend hours scouring the net for the printable you need. Now you can organize and decorate your classroom and keep it pretty and functional.
