These are the coloured letters that I had printed at the board office on coloured cardstock. When they were finished I had them laminated. I had an extra blank sheet of each colour laminated to match the fingers on my hands!

Directions on how to make the keyboard:

I purchased Styrofoam containers from the Superstore Warehouse on Route 90 in Wpg. MB. Next I purchased blue shiny material. It is like a taffeta.?? I wanted something that would with stand the hot glue gun. I left the material a foot or two longer than I needed. Next I laid down 15 Styrofoam containers.


The top 4 rows have 15 cartons in each row, but notice that 1 is cut in half to give the tab key a longer key! The bottom row has fourteen cartons

After all the containers were hot glue gunned down, I glued on the laminated letters.

I lost my pictures of the eyelet machine. It is just a little piece of metal the punches and seals eyelets onto your material. (I will find that pic!!)

Notice how the containers are staggered ~ sorry if I am pointing out the obvious!!

My buddy 'Dave' is the best custodian in the world. We held up the keyboard and marked where the eyelet holes were. He drilled in screws and we hung it up no problem!

Ta-da!! In total I would say from start to finish this project took 4 hours. ~ But I love it!! It comes in so handy. I can now easily show kids where the 'tildy' button is next to the number 1!!
