3 Ways to Customize a Supply Case

A special thanks to Elmer’s for sponsoring today’s post. I’m happy to be sharing this post as a part of their 2015 CraftyParents Crew!

 

Eek! It’s almost back to school time! I have a few friends whose children attend year round school, and I’ve already been spying pictures on social media of these kiddos heading back to class. I honestly have no idea where the summer went. Our summer has been nothing but doctor’s appointments, I feel, but my daughter and I have been sneaking in lots of crafting time. She’s a bit nervous about the new school year, so I decided to distract her for a bit by combining crafting with school supplies! We pulled out our craft tools and Elmer’s products and designed three different ways to customize a supply case or pencil box. After finishing these, I had the thought that this would make a cool back to school party idea. You know, let the kids have a little party where each child decorates a pencil box? That’s just a little bug to put in your brain. Whether you have a party or not, these 3 Ways to Customize a Supply Case are easy and fun!
