~ Handmade Back to School Supplies ~

Do you ever feel like you spend a ton of money on back to school supplies in August, only to have to replace half the items by December?

I do!

It seems like every year, we buy our school supplies and within just a few weeks, a binder breaks or a book bag tears. It’s crazy!

This school year, I’m making a real conscious effort to buy handmade back to school supplies for my girls.

Handmade goods are known for being far better quality and you just know that special attention and care has been spent on each and every piece.

I’m hoping that by purchasing handmade supplies, the items will last longer than just a few months.

We’ll see!

As I was a browsing through the Back to School selection on Etsy, I found tons of really awesome back to school supplies! I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorites, here on the blog, since obviously, I can’t purchase them all. 😉

Although, I think I might be able to talk the girls into those arrow pencil bags or maybe even the flower patch sandwich bag…

Handmade Back to School Supplies

Bags

This arrow pencil/cosmetic case from Whitty Creations is perfect for keeping all your writing utensils together or use it to hold makeup and personal care products inside your book bag.

 

These awesome backpacks from Embroidery Mark can be customized with your choice of color, font (for embroidery) and even your trim ribbon!

 

I just couldn’t resist this one. I know my girls {think} they are too old to carry a lunch tote like this, but I think this personalized bag from Bow Dacious Baby is just adorable!

How perfect is this reusable sandwich bag from ArtisticsoulDesigns? I know I probably spend about $50.00 a year on sandwich bags for school/work lunches, so buying these would be a HUGE savings for me!!

 

Hair Accessories

These tie dye hair ties from Pistachio Hair are perfect for any girl…any age! I’d use them. Plus, with the added adorable chalk painted mason jar for storage…how could you pass these up?

 

Again, I know my girls are too old for these ↑ pencil and crayon ↓ hair bows, but how could I not include them?

They are so stinkin’ cute!

 

Paper Goods

This monogrammed note cube from ChicMonogram is perfect for any student or teacher! It’s great for keeping on your desk or in your locker to jot down quick notes.

 

These super cute personalized name decals from Off the Wall Vinyl Decor are great for customizing your binders! You can choose from a variety of colors…even glitter!

 

This printable student planner from my shop is perfect for any student, whether in public, private or home school!

I designed this planner with you in mind and have included a daily schedule, weekly schedule, weekly lesson planner, monthly calendar, reading log and a books and materials list, to help fill all your needs.  Be sure to check out the other school planners in my shop!

I hope you’ve enjoyed checking out these handmade back to school supplies!
