Creative Back-to-School DIYs!

Hey, Reader!

Can you believe it’s already time to go back to school? It feels like we just blinked, and summer disappeared! And it seems to go faster every year!

I wanted to reach out because, like me, you’re probably gearing up for the upcoming school year. So, I thought we could navigate this back-to-school adventure together with some fun DIY projects.

Whether you’re a parent, student, or teacher, you will enjoy these! Several freebies are also included (I’ve marked them below for you), and our premium crafters get everything in the Craft Vault as always!

SCHOOL MILESTONE SIGNS

Why not kick off the new school year with personalized DIY back-to-school milestone signs to capture some photos of your kids before they grow another foot?

I used my vinyl and a wood sign to make these and created styles for both boys and girls. For younger kids, the crayon version is perfect, and older kids can opt for the globe and book design.

CUSTOMIZE BACK-TO-SCHOOL GEAR WITH CRICUT

Ah, back-to-school gear; it is inevitable every year, so why not personalize it with a cute graphic, decal, or simple letter monogram? Note: never display your child’s full name for safety reasons.

I used smart iron-on vinyl for my lunch boxes, backpacks, and permanent vinyl on my water bottles. Get creative with it!

With school comes planning! Whether you have an older student who may enjoy these or you are a teacher, these planner stickers will keep you organized and add a little fun to those scheduling days!

Use your favorite sticker paper (I like the Luxoton brand on Amazon), your Cricut to Print Then Cut these images or just a pair of scissors!
