15 DIY School Supply Projects

Here are some tips to make the most of your DIY school supply projects.

Make sure to label everything. Children can be forgetful and teachers are keeping track of a number of students, so label all your child’s belongings: coats, backpacks, lunch bags, and all their school supplies.
Pick up things throughout the year. I like to pick up school supplies whenever I see them on sale. I know my child is always going to need certain things like pencils, erasers, glue, crayons, etc.
Grab extras for the teacher. If you can afford it, grab a few extra supplies for the teacher. There will be kids that don’t bring any supplies or just a few and the teacher will provide them. Having some extra on hand is very helpful for teachers, and will be greatly appreciated!
