I posted this beautiful picture of my risers with their seat numbers back in August.
They looked beautiful, all evenly placed but I don't know what I was thinking. I cut these tiny, cute, little, petite squares of contact paper that just overlapped each seat number by a bit. Ha! They lasted like that for all of 3 days. After they started falling off left and right, I cut bigger squares and I must say they lasted a long time but over the last two weeks they all started biting the dust.
You can see there aren't many left!
I have them piled on my desk, new contact paper ready but they have been laying there unattended for the last few days because I can't figure out how I want to proceed. Do I re-contact paper them to the risers or is there a better way? Any suggestions out there? I must admit the contact paper works well but at this rate I would have to redo them at least once a quarter and I know there has to be something that is more practical than that. While I know that I probably don't need them at this point, my kids know where their seats are, I want something permanent that I don't have to redesign next year. So, until I come up with a solution, they will sit on my desk!
Use sticky Velcro! The adhesive on it is pretty strong and will stick to the risers/number cards. Then if the kids pick at the numbers, you can just slap them back on there. I would suggest laminating the number cards first though.
ReplyDeleteHello, why didn't I think of that? I have used Velcro so many other places in my room. I know what I'll be working on next week! Thanks for the idea!
