8th Grade Class Auction Project

Each year our school does an auction fund raiser. Each class makes a collaborative art project and an auction basket. My 8th grader’s class worked together to create a wooden Christmas ornaments for the school fundraising auction this year.

Collaborative Christmas Ornaments

I had each child a wooden circle with a whole near the top. Then they decorated their hand with paint markers in a Christmas design. After they decorated them, we put twine through the whole and added a wooden bead or bow.

Dinner Menu Gift Cards/ Auction Basket

We found a chalk board that said “Weekly Menu” on it. Then strung twine back and froth across the front to hang gift cards from. We used tiny wooden clothes pins to hang the cards.

4th Grade Class Auction Project

My 4th grader now attends a private school, and the class worked together to create a class project for the school fundraising auction. The parents of the class also put together an auction basket too.

Collaborative Class Art

I had each child trace their hand up to their elbow (as close as they can). Then they decorated their hand with markers in any way that they wish. Then the children cut them out. I placed the cut out hands around a large black canvas. I stuck them to the canvas with Mod Podge. I then cut out and added some stars to the canvas around the hands. In the middle I used my Cricut cutter to add the quote to the middle of the canvas: “YOU have within you the strength, the patience, and passion to reach for the STARS!”

BBQ/ Grill Auction Basket

We purchased a small charcoal grill and sauces, spices, and rubs to fill it with. We also added 2 fun aprons that say, “King of the Grill” and “Always Cook with Wine”!
