School File **Tutorial**

As promised, here's the tutorial for the school file I made for our command center.

Step 1:
Gather your materials.  Unfortunately I didn't get to take a picture because I was so eager to put it together. Once I realized I should have take a picture, it was too late. But here's a list:

1. Pocket files (I found mine in the clearance section at Walmart. They sold for $2.50 for a pack of 12)
2. Hot glue gun
3. Glue sticks
4. Paper fastener brads
5. Nail Polish (yes, nail polish. I used quick dry polish)
6. File Labels
7. Hole punch
8. 3M Command Hooks or Heavy Duty Magnets (depends on how you want to hang them)

Step 2:

Place 3 pocket files on top of each other in a staggered formation. Then hot glue gun them in place.

Step 3:
Paint the top of your brads whatever color you choose. Let them dry completely.

Step 4:
Make your labels or simply write them out on file folder sized labels. Then place them on your pocket files. My labels say

• MOM and Dad: Sign / Review
• Bring back to school
• Field Trips / Reminders / Announcements

Step 5:

Punch holes in the top corners. If you want to hang this on your fridge, then make sure you use heavy duty magnets.

Step 6:

Hang then near your command center.

Tada! That's it! Pretty easy, yeah?  If I can do this, so can you!

Happy Organizing!
