Teacher Turned Crafter
Just after finishing my sixth year of teaching, I found myself looking for a creative outlet during the summer time. I'm sure all teachers can relate to wanting to find easy ways to make cute things for your classroom.
I started off with a cutting machine and began just "vinyling" things around my room instead of using those tacky labels that never peel off. From supply bin labels to my kiddos names on desks, I was a few projects away from labeling everything just to have an excuse to make something cute!
I then started making gifts for my students for holidays such as Christmas and the End-of-the-Year. I knew I wanted to break into screen printing shirts but wasn’t sure if I would make the money back after the startup costs. (For a teacher, investing in equipment is hard. Such a risk with our little paychecks).
In a nutshell, that's how this all got started! I took the leap and purchased a heat press and then I started selling shirts to my fellow teachers and friends. I have reached the point where I am confident in my shirt making abilities and want to start promoting my work!
