Back to School Craft Projects

January 16, 2013 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 15 Comments

It is more than half way through January already, and we are starting to get organised for going Back to School (and work). We have bought books, diaries, school supplies, and school shoes. The books are covered and labelled, and we have even planned some lunch box recipes. You can find our Lunch Box Ideas and Lunch Box treat recipes here.

We are working on a new sewing tutorial for Back to School and it should be ready to share in a couple of days. Meanwhile, we wanted to re-share this round-up of 8 of our most popular crafty Back to School Projects to help get you and your child/ren organised for the new school year. You can find our original post here with all the projects and links.

Are you working on any Back to School craft projects?

I asked AI to roast my Instagram… and let’s just s I asked AI to roast my Instagram… and let’s just say she didn’t hold back 😂 Apparently my stash‑friendly projects are just ‘fabric hoarder therapy,’ my quick‑sew reels look like I’ve got elves working overtime, and my Perth sewing room has more Hallmark Christmas energy than a snowy Vermont town.
