Back to School Projects

Today is back to school at our house.

I thought it would be nice to create a couple of projects in honor of the day.

These projects would be great to give as teacher gifts but I think I am going to use them for our "homework" desk here at home.

I started with the Desk Organizer.

I love all the little drawers and the side pockets. Perfect for storing all of your desk supplies in one place. (I need this!)

Crayon boxes are perfect for elementary kids but what about high schoolers or teachers?

Give them a fun decorated box filled with some m&m's or other treat. I placed a plastic transparency in the window to keep the treats inside the box.

The last project was this book. I used a Halloween file (book of spells) and changed it up (a lot).

I omitted all the spooky Halloween stuff and on the spine, instead of using the decorative strips I used washi tape.

3 fun projects to get you excited for back to school!

Today I wanted to share with you the photo prop I created for my kids' back to school pictures. I used the Chalkboard from SVG Attic's Back 2 School kit. It is actually a card, and a very pretty one at that. But I knew it would be perfect for what I had in mind!

Instead of using the included sentiment for the chalkboard, I used a free printable from Jones Creek Creations and just sized it to fit the inside of the chalkboard. I embossed the outside of the chalkboard with a woodgrain embossing folder and distressed it with brown chalk ink. To embellish, I used some Trendy Twine along the bottom and school themed buttons.
