August is here, and that means that school is right around the corner. In these dog days of summer, stay busy with some of these fun and easy DIY back to school projects! Pull out your scrap fabric and sewing notions, and get in the school spirit. To create a truly personal and polished product, add one of Dutch Label Shop's custom labels to your project.
ORGANIZE IT
For younger students, create a handy holder and organizer for crayons with scrap fabric and bright ribbons. Get creative and use school colors or your student’s favorite colors.
HOLD IT!
For students of all ages, a pencil case is a back to school essential. A fabric pencil case can easily fit in a backpack, and adding ribbon tabs on either side of the zipper makes it easy to grab and go.
BAG IT IN SCHOOL
Ditch the disposable lunch bags and opt for a fabric lunch sack. Easy to whip up and perfect for personalizing, this fun craft is also friendly to the environment!
COVER IT
Personalized book covers are a huge part of any school experience. Make fabric covers for your student’s textbooks. For a fun and waterproof look, use brightly colored oilcloth.
MARK IT
A few elastic headbands and some sewing notions create cute and flirty slip-on bookmarks, perfect for holding a place in a textbook.
If you don’t have time to make something from scratch, you can still create a personal gift for your student. Attach iron-on patches or appliques to book bags, pencil cases, and lunch sacks for a truly unique look. Patches come in all shapes, sizes, and themes: from emojis and animals to ice cream cones and donuts to baseball and hockey.
Give your students the chance to individualize themselves, and easily create a personal product that they’ll love!
