Bookmarks
Get inspired every time you crack open a book! Grab some cardstock paper, markers, stickers, and stencils, and get ready to unleash your creativity. Write down your favorite quotes, add some doodles or designs, and don’t forget to laminate them for extra durability. These personalized bookmarks will not only hold your place in your textbooks but also serve as a reminder to stay motivated and focused throughout the school year.
School Supply Organizers
Say goodbye to cluttered desks with these fun and functional organizers! Transform empty tissue boxes, shoeboxes, or cereal boxes into stylish storage solutions for your pens, pencils, scissors, and other supplies. Decorate them with colorful paper, washi tape, stickers, or even photos to match your personality and style. Not only will these DIY organizers keep your desk neat and tidy, but they’ll also add a pop of color and personality to your workspace.

Grab some small round magnets, paint them yellow, and use markers or paint to create your favorite emoji faces – think smiley faces, hearts, thumbs up, and more!
