Back to School crafts

I can’t believe it’s almost that time again. Summer just started, and now it’s almost over. What is going on around here? I don’t know how it is in your neck of the woods, but around here, school shopping gets pretty crazy.

I feel like I can’t go into the back-to-school supply section of a store without worrying about losing a leg. There are so many people!

In terms of strategy, I like to buy school supplies all at once. I figure one visit is enough, assuming I can remember and/or find everything. Then after I buy supplies, I add my own personal touches with Mod Podge (what else?).

To help you out, I put together a collection of over forty projects to get you inspired. Are you ready to personalize your back-to-school items and make some new things for your (or your child’s) study space?

Check out these tutorials below and let me know which are your favorite – and which ones you’ve tried – in the comments.
