Back to School Project with Cool Kid

Hi everyone! It's Gina here to share with you a set of back-to-school tags using the new Cool Kid collection. These bookmarks can be used to help organize school supplies and keep homework and much needed items in place.

I started by organizing school supplies in three separate glass jars – erasers, pencils and paper clips. Then, I created a tag for each jar. These tags can easily double as bookmarks.

I mixed and matched papers and embellishments from the Cool Kid collection to create each. I love the bright, vibrant colors in this collection. The primary colors are perfect for back-to-school and could easily be used for a boy or a girl.

To create each tag, I first started by trimming my patterned papers to 2 1/2” x 7” each. Next, I used my scissors to cut the corners. Then, I punched a hole in the top of each tag using a hole punch. In these photos the hole is covered up by mini clothespins, but string could easily be added later on to make bookmarks.

I wanted each tag to look different so I used a variety of patterned papers and embellishments. I used a tiny attacher and sewing machine to adhere some of the embellishments down.

I hope these back-to-school tags have inspired you to create your own!
