FUN!!

Step 1.
Get some removable adhesive dot labels,
and color them in however you want. This is
where you get to be creative and have fun!
(If you don’t have time to color your own
stickers, you can just use sticky dots or existing
stickers).
Tip: Think of
objects or
animals that
have “tails,”
like a mouse or
balloon, and
make stickers
like that.

Step 2.
Cut several (10+) lengths of your favorite
floss.
Step 3.
Mount your floss pieces to your bathroom
mirror in any way you want. Again, be
creative and have fun. Try making
geometric patterns, or bouquets of
balloons. Play around with anchoring the
floss at both ends, or leaving it dangling.

A few things I learned:
• It’s totally fun to “pluck” pieces of floss off
of the mirror!
• Investing in the preparation (by coloring
the dots myself) made me take
ownership of this new habit, and
increased my excitement
• Not only did I floss twice a day (after
brushing), but did other “opportunistic”
flossing, as well (ex: I was dashing off to
class, and realized I had something in my
teeth that I wanted to get).
• My roommate has been away the past
week, but I think she would have been
encouraged to join in, too.
happy flossing!
