As the new school year approaches, teachers and parents alike are gearing up for the back to school season. This is the perfect time to bring out your crafty sidekick, Cricut, and customize some school essentials and classroom decorations. Whether you’re looking to organize your classroom, personalize school supplies, or add a little flair to the first day of school, these five projects are sure to inspire.
Decorative Lunch Bags
In this project, you’ll use cardstock and Iron-on or Smart Iron-On (HTV) to make a paper bag Lunch Pal. Include an encouraging note for your student to let them know their lunch was made with love.
Custom Backpack
In this project, you’ll use printable iron-on for light fabrics to create a patch style backpack. Print-then-cut magical creatures or use your kiddo’s favorite drawings.
Personalized T-shirts
In these projects, you’ll use iron-on to make these shirts. Change the shapes, text, fonts and colors to personalize them even more.
Pencil Holders
This project uses cardstock to create a 3D crayon box. Personalize each crayon-shaped box with your students’ names and top the pencils with a welcome note to your classroom.
Custom Caddies
In this project, you’ll use vinyl to create a decal for table caddies (or any other smooth surface). These are great to organize and keep tidy all the shared supplies by each table in your classroom.
