Start The School Year Off Right!

Hi Friends! All over Facebook I am seeing first day of school photos from my friends down south. Luckily up in Maine we do not go back to school until September but I am all ready with this cute homework supply caddy:

I wanted to make a portable box of supplies that was not too big, yet would have anything my kids needed for homework. These sturdy parts bin boxes from Papermart are just the ticket. My kids can take it to their favorite homework spot then slide it on a shelf when not in use. Watch the video to see how I did it.

Supplies: Bin boxWashi Tape Scrapbook paper (I used designs by Crate Paper) Scissors 1″ punch

Directions: 1. Cut paper to fit the sides and ends of the box and adhere. 2. Assemble the box. Fold one of the dividers to make a divided compartment and leave 2 compartments open. 3. Add washi tape to the edges of the box. 4. Fill with back to school supplies and homework essentials!

Items I put in the box: Ruler Pencils Markers Highlighters rubber bands paper clips glue and glue sticks safety scissors paper re-enforces (paper donuts LOL!) white vinyl erasers\pencil sharpener

Make sure this box is accessible on a shelf so the kids can get to it whenever they need. This easy idea will save you and your kids headaches and stress when it comes to homework. Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
