16 Genius Upcycled School Supply Projects
Here is why I recommend doing some upcycled school supply projects at the start of a new school year:
- Repurposed School Supplies. Don’t throw away those old-school supplies your kids bring in and no longer want! Instead, incorporate the items into home storage, decor, and even helpful organization ideas that may help simplify your life.
- Old To New. Let your creative juices flow to update barely used school supplies into new ones the kids will love taking to school this year.
- Budget-Friendly Projects. With the excitement of a new school year comes many expenses: new shoes and clothes, athletic equipment, lunches, and school pictures, to name a few. Why not save a little money and reuse school supplies you already have by giving them a fresh new look?
