Well kids (and adults), it’s that time again.
Back to school time.
I know, I know; it’s not the greatest topic. But, it can be a lot more fun than you think! One thing you may not know about me is that I’m a planner. I love knowing where I’m going and what I’m gonna do once I get there. So today I’m sharing 6 awesome DIY’s to make the upcoming school year more fun!
DIY Monogram Pencil Pouch
Duck Tape Lunch Bags
DIY Rainbow Watercolor Backpack
DIY All Natural Hand Sanitizer
Hopefully you guys enjoyed this post and maybe found some PINspiration 😉 I hope you all have a wonderful, stress free back to school season. Make 2016 your best school year yet! Be sure to pin this post if you enjoyed it!
Question time:
What DIY from this post do you love the most?
