3 Must-Haves for your Summer Projects!!!

As I work on project after project for this coming school year, there are 3 things that I just could NOT live without!!!! They are:
#1-E6000
This is THE BEST glue on the planet!!!! If you are making something that you want to last forever-USE THIS GLUE!!!! It IS amazing...Just like it says on the box:) Everyone that works with me knows that I'm obsessed with it!!!! Just beware that it is a little smelly;)

#2 -ModPodge
Love this stuff!! It is a glue and a sealer all in one! I've used it on all kinds of crafts!!! Use it on any wood, plastic, metal, etc. If you paint something, or glue paper to something, put a coat of this over the top!! It's like laminating things that can't go through the laminator!!;)
Here's an example of something I ModPodged...Remember my Monster Sound Munchers???;) They are made from pencil boxes, a piece of cardstock and stickers. The ModPodge is a glue and a sealer. So, I glued it on with Modpodge and then put a few coats of ModPodge over all of it so that the paper and stickers are sealed on and won't peel off.
#3 My Scotch Laminator
Everyone has been posting about these because they are AWESOME!!! I got one for Mother's Day this year and I ♥ it! They are only $25 at Wal-Mart!!! And you can get the lamination pouches at Sams for really cheap!!! The lamination is SUPER thick, too! WAY more sturdy than the stuff we have at school!
If you use these 3 things for your projects for your classroom they are sure to last forever!!!
Anything that I missed??? If you have anything to add to my list, I would LOVE to hear about it:)
