Back to School
For all those with children going back to school, I have read a few pinterest ideas with a school fairy. I wanted to do something for my son, but he is five and so over fairies. Then I had so many extra wipe containers and was looking for a way to repurpose them. Again I hit pinterest again and nothing caught my attention. So then I put my two ideas together and created this ....
NOTE: before you think this is expensive. Its not. I didn't even leave my house!! Last year when they did the back to school sales, I went and stocked up on school supplies. There were no more thasn $5 spent to make this box (including the stickers).
What you need:
- Letter sticker sheets (I used blue, grey & red).
- An old wipe box
- and the contents that you wish to put inside
- (I used) A box of colored pencils
- box of crayons
- box of markers
- a few pencils
- sharpener
- eraser
- scissors (the ones that only cut paper)
- and lastly glue
- For the wrapping ...
- celophane
- a rubber band
- ribbon
- and tissue paper
Also, the stickers I purchased were found on sale at a warehouse sale for Prima. They were super cheap so if your ever out shopping and find some cheap stickers just pick them up. I have used these same stickers for 3 projects already!
Here are the steps to make the back to school box:- Gather your supplies
- Take your wipe box and pop the lid off (I saved it, I have a feeling at some point all the boxes will end up missing or in shreds).
- Next grab all your stickers and start placing randomly, whatever looks good to you.
- I decided to put his name, hoping he will use it to learn writing his name.
- Next I placed a yellow green piece of tissue paper on the bottom to make it look like a present.
- add the contents to the box, make it presentable.
- Next wrap it in cellophane, use the rubber band to tie it up
- Lastly, put a nice ribbon on it and your done!
