More Back To School Fun by Annie

Hello Crafty Friends - Annie here with some fun projects for this year Student! 

I know it's that time already - Summer is just flying by. Here in Florida, the children head back to in August. I know that some of your children will be heading back in September. 

I thought, why not create some projects for the student this time. 

Here are the fun projects I created. 

The Backpack

Is perfect to add a little notebook, a mini mechanical pencil, and some fun erasers in it.

Materials Used:

Let's get started

I started by downloading and printing the template. Next, I trimmed the template and adhered it onto the Rinea Jade/Jade Starstruck Foil Paper. I also trimmed an extra panel for the inside of the backpack flap and the straps.

Next, I used a craft knife and cut the slits into the backpack. These will be for the straps.

  Then, I used my scoreboard to score all the dotted lines (score lines).

Next, I used Imagine Crafts Tsukineko StazOn Pigment Ink: Shamrock Green, Hero Arts Just A Note Stamp Set CL404 and Woodware Craft Collection School Tots Stamp Set to decorate the backpack. I even stamped on the straps.

 Now, to attach the straps to the backpack. I insert the strap notch into the slit and add some adhesive to the tab and pressed into place.

Next, I adhered the side tab to the press into place. I repeat the process on the other side. Cleaning up any adhesive along the way if needed.

 Next, I add a bit of velcro to the front of the backpack for a closer. I use a small velcro tab that I cut in half. I stack the velcro tabs the hook and loop part onto the felty part. Then, I  place the velcro onto the backpack flap first. Next, I close the flap and press the bottom part of the backpack.

Now, the mini backpack is complete!

Mini Pencil Box

This fun little pencil box is perfect for a few treats, stickers, or some fun erasers.

Now, just like my last post - I didn't make a tutorial for this project. 

I will, however, link the template I used to make this mini pencil box.
