If you’re back in school, or heading there soon, we’ve rounded up some sweet back to school tutorials and patterns just for you.  Starting school is exciting, and can also be quite overwhelming.  Channel some of your enthusiasm and stress into crafting these sweet projects, which will make you feel good when you’re prepping for a test, or waiting at the bus stop!

Thanks to maguro, Coccinellid, amarchan, DancinInTheDark, rickrackruby, amanda~panda, sunshyn_stef, Urban Threads, and Avalon_Princes27 for sharing their projects with us!

Stop wasting plastic bags and store snacks in these cute, reusable snack packs	Paint cats on your shoes, or whatever is your thing, with this tutorial	Reuse Capri Sun drink cases and make a unique zippered pencil case
Something shiny, in your favorite color, to distract you… and hold your pencils	Thrift a few neckties, in your chosen theme, and make this funky schoolbag	If you doodle and cut out random things in magazines, then this book cover is for you
Hold something sturdy like all your books, or your laptop, in this classy messenger bag	Stay warm while you’re studying with this comfy winter wrap fit just for you	Make your own backpack with the fabric, embellishments, and materials of your choice

And now, a quote from one of my favorite scenes in Billy Madison, “Back to school… back to school…to prove to dad that I’m not a fool”.
