Back To School Supplies You Can Make At Home

July 13, 2021 by Shellie Wilson

Back to school is here, but what might not be here is a surplus of money to buy all those back-to-school supplies. But don’t think you have to be frugal to want to make yourself supplies. Making your own school supplies is a great opportunity to allow your child to show off his or her creative flair and originality in designing and crafting their own school supplies.

I remember designing my own school bag with sharpie pens, it was definitely the cool thing to do back in the day. Drawing on our fake brand designs and of course those Smiley faces (showing my age now).

School supplies can be expensive, but these tutorials are all affordable and fun to make.
