In this video I'll show you 15 epic DIY school supplies and room organization ideas, which
will surely get you excited and motivated for the new school year.
Hey loves. It's that sad time of the year again when summer is coming to the end and
school is about to start. But don't you worry guys because this year we're gonna make going
back to school so much more fun and exciting. Just like nice training clothes make me want
to work out more, nice school supplies like backpacks and notebooks always made me so
much more excited to go back to school. So today I'm going to show you 15 DIY ideas on
school supplies and room organisation. We're going to be making school backs, backpacks,
notebooks, organizers and much more. It's like an ultimate guide to the DIY school supplies,
which will hopefully get you ready for the new school year. I hope you guys are ready,
because we're gonna get started. Let's kick off this DIY back to school guide
with an awesome galaxy school bag! You will need a black bag or a backpack, masking tape,
fabric paint in blue, light blue, pink and white. Container for the paint, sponge applicators,
paint brushes and scissors. I'm going to color only the front part of the bag and to get
that neat edge I am applying some masking tape to the part that I want to keep black.
I am also going to protect the working area with a piece of cardboard. Dip the sponge
applicator into the blue fabric paint and we are ready for painting! Here comes our
first galaxy. Start making a ring, where you keep the center clean and blend the color
outwards. This shape kind of reminds me of a sun, with big blended rays. Now take your
white color which represents a ton of stars and apply it to the center of the galaxy.
Blend it towards the blue making light strokes. To make this transition from white to dark
blue nice and smooth we also need some light blue color. You can just mix some dark blue
with white if you don't have a light blue fabric paint. Like that. Apply the color between
the white and the blue for a nice gradient. You can also add a hint of pink or violet
color to the center of your galaxy to make it even prettier. Just a couple of strokes
more and we have finished our first galaxy. Well, we still have to add stars that will
make everything look so much better, but first let's decorate this plain bag with some more
galaxies. But wait for it, because the stars will bring this masterpiece to a whole new
level. Trust me.Yup, the stars are the star of the show here. I am first making some big
stars using a flat paint brush, by drawing two or four crossing lines. In the end add
a bunch of small stars by simply drawing little dots. I like to draw more stars in the center
of the galaxy and then less and less moving out. See how the stars made this galaxy bag
look just out of this world amazing?! I am so happy with the result I cannot even explain
it. I love how you don't have to be neat and precise when drawing a galaxy – it just
always turns out so cool. Oh and do you remember my galaxy shoes I made last year?! Of course
I had to put them on! For the rest of the outfit I went for some light wash jeans shorts,
black cropped top and a black cardigan. To keep our pencils and pens organized we
need a pencil pouch and this one is literally done in 2 minutes. You will need a 12 by 10
inch piece of fabric, a ten inch long zipper, fabric glue or a glue gun. Flip the fabric
so that the wrong side is facing up and fold about an inch of the fabric in along the shorter
sides. Place your zipper in the center and make sure the right side is facing up. Apply
a stripe of fabric glue along one side of the zipper. Now fold the fabric in and stick
it to the zipper like so. Make the same thing on the opposite side – apply a stripe of
glue and fold the fabric. Leave the glue to dry completely and flip your work inside out.
Apply a stripe of glue along both sides like this. Make sure that you have your zipper
open and that the wrong side of fabric is facing out. Once the glue is dry you can flip
your work inside out again and you can reveal your new pencil case. I think this one is
just so beautiful and I love how easy and cheap it is to make! You can make it from
an old shirt, jeans or a piece of fabric. Who wants some cute flower paper clips? I
love these and they are so much fun to make! All we need are some plastic beads, paper
clips and a glue gun. Take seven beads and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet
making a flower shape like this. I like using different colors for pretty and bright flowers.
Place them in the oven and bake at 450 Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes or until the beads melt.
Be sure you don’t leave them in for too long as they could lose their shape. These
look just perfect so let's turn off the heat and take them out. See how gorgeous they look!
Wait until they cool down and now it's time to attach them to paper clips. Apply some
glue on the back of the flower, place on a clip and leave the glue to dry. Do this to
all of your lovely flowers and look how flipping gorgeous our new paper clips are! I am totally
obsessed. I think this DIY is hashtag so much fun. Love having these clips as bookmarks
too - books look so cute with flowers sticking out.
Yes guys, I am five and I absolutely love this owl backpack. Hashtag sorry not sorry.
To make it you need a plain backpack, felt fabric in white, yellow and black, a patterned
piece of fabric, fabric glue and scissors. Start by cutting two big flowery shape circles
from white felt. We will need those for the eyes. I like using felt for this because it's
thicker and as you cut it you already get nice clean edges. Take your black felt and
cut out two medium sized circles. These will be the pupils of the owl's eyes. To finish
off the eyes we still need four white circles, two small and two even smaller ones. This
will give our owl the cutest anime eyes. Instead of felt you can also use velvet, faux leather
or just any kind of fabric that you find at home. Our owl also needs a beak – simply
make it by cutting a triangle out of an orange piece of felt. I also decided to give my buddy
some claws, so I am cutting two orange half circles to represent them. The last part that
we need before we assemble our owl, are the wings. Cut two six by four inch pieces of
fabric. Fold it in half and then fold one corner in like so. Apply some glue to keep
it in place. Now fold in the remaining three sides that still have that freshly cut edge.
We are doing this to get neat edges all around the wing. And as you can see we get two lovely
wing shapes too! They look like a rectangle with one corner snipped away. Now we are ready
to put together our miss owl. Using a glue gun or fabric glue simply stick the parts
on your backpack. I am starting with the eyes, which are probably my favorite part of this
backpack. They make our owl look like a poor little baby, don't you think? Here comes the
beak, which I am placing on the upper part of the front pocket. This baby also needs
some wings so she can fly. Omg, how cool would that be?! A flying backpack that would take
you to school in a minute. I Hope they invent one really soon. On the bottom part of the
backpack we have to stick our little owl legs. And if you want you can also make a bow so
that the owl will be a proper girly girl. I showed you how to make a bow in my hairstyles
tutorial so check it out there if you haven’t already. And our owl backpack is complete
– looking stunning! This one is great for all of you my younger viewers, or maybe you
have a little sister and you can make one for her. But I actually really like the backpack
and I am totally gonna rock it! Here I am wearing a dress that has a bunch of little
flowers on and my favorite boots that are so warm and comfy. Love this outfit for fall
and back to school. Just like us, our cell phone also has to get
ready for school, right? For this epic alphabet phone case you need a cheap empty phone case,
some sharpies and a ruler. Basically we will be drawing horizontal lines inspired by the
notebook and then we are going to fill it with loads of letters. I am starting with
a row of S-es. Like Sara, so creative. Draw another line above and fill it with any letter
you want – I went for V. In the end you will get this awesome tribal design made out
of letters. I like to switch the markers for every row for a nice explosion of color. And
there you go! This phone case looks so cool. From far away you don't even see that the
pattern is entirely made out of letters and lines – It just looks like an awesome Aztec
print. An epic back to school DIY for our phone, right?
Having a nice weekly planner makes it so much easier to keep track of all your school tasks,
sport and free time activities. For this beautiful weekly planner you will need picture frame,
some wrapping paper, a normal white paper, scissors and paint plus paint brush if you
wanna pimp up your frame. I got this picture frame for very cheap and I decided to give
it a little makeover so it will fit my room better. Take out the glass and everything
so that you're left only with a frame. If you want your paint to stick better to the
frame you can sand it first, but this step is optional. Now it's time to apply a coat
of a furniture primer. You can use it if you have it, but don't stress to much if you don't.
A primer acts as an adhesive for the paint, but you can totally make this DIY without
it. OK, our frame is finally ready to get dressed in this pretty pink color. I love
doing such complete makeovers to things, like with this picture frame. Now the entire frame
is painted so we have to leave it to dry completely. In the meantime let's make our planner. You
can hand-write all the days of the week on white paper or you can print them out as me.
Cut out rectangles so that you have each day of the week in one rectangle. Besides Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday I also added one called random.
That is where you can write ideas or things that don't have to be done on a particular
day. Once you have all the days of the week cut out, it's time to stick them on a piece
of wrapping paper or any kind of paper you like. Make sure that the background paper
is the same size as your picture frame. Glue the little white rectangles on in the right
order – just like the days follow each other in a week. The final step is to assemble this
planner slash erase board. Take your frame, which is now completely dry and looking gorgeous!
Place on the glass piece, followed by our DIY planner sheet and the back of the picture
frame. Fold down these pins that keep everything in place and look at this fantastic planner
board that we've just created. This is such a useful thing to have in your bedroom and
on top – it looks absolutely stunning. Every week you can wipe off the activities of the
previous week and then put down a new plan! An amazing room decorating piece that will
help you keep track of all of your weekly plans.
Besides flower paper clips I also like these ribbon ones. To make them we need paper clips,
ribbon and scissors. Cut a piece of ribbon of your choice, fold it in half and slide
it through this paper clip opening. Then just lead the two ribbon ends through the loop
and pull to tighten. Snip the ribbon ends diagonally and you are left with a beautiful
paper clip, which can be also used as a book mark. I got a little bit obsessed with those,
not gonna lie and I made a bunch of them using different colored ribbon. These are just so
cute, right?! Small containers are always handy for organizing
your desk. You can use them to store tape, paper clips and all these bits and pieces
that would otherwise lay in your drawers or all over the desk. For an awesome beaded bowl
you need an oven friendly cereal bowl, oil and plastic beads. Pour some oil in the bowl
and distribute it all over with a paper wipe. Throw in a bunch of beads and distribute them
in one even layer, like that. Place the bowl in the oven and bake at about 350 degrees
Fahrenheit for 10 to 15 minutes or until the beads start melting. When beads melt they
stick to each other and form a bowl of the same shape as your cereal one. Take your masterpiece
out of the oven and let it cool completely. Thanks to the oil we can now easily separate
the beaded bowl from the cereal one and we are all ready to decorate and organize our
desk with this awesome bowl. I decided to store tape and paper clips in mine and I love
the pop of color it gives to my desk. Pencil holders are great for storing pens
and pencils, but these puffy paint pencil holders are also super cute to look at. We
need some all purpose glue, shaving foam, acrylic paint, jars, glasses and something
to mix with. First let's make a puffy paint. Put some shaving foam in a glass. I have three
glasses since I am making three puffy paint colors. Pour in some glue. Squeeze in some
acrylic paint and mix all the ingredients together. The more foam you mix in, the puffier
paint you will get. I am happy with how mine looks! Pour your paint into a plastic bag
and make a knot. Then you can just snip away the corner of the bag and you're ready to
decorate. Alternatively you can put your paint in these squeeze tubes like I did. These are
empty glue bottles that I've used up. I like them because they have a precise applicator,
which is perfect for writing with a puffy paint. To make my pencil holders totally back
to school appropriate I am decorating them with numbers and letters. This one will have
numbers all over. Puffy paints have infinite other uses as well – decorate windows, phone
cases, even make jewelry, wall décor and so much more. On the other jar I decided to
write a bunch of letters. And here's my letter jar all done, looking awesome! I really want
to make a tribal Aztec print one, I think it would look so cool. But these two holders
are more than enough for now. They keep my pens in place and my desk clean and tidy.
I came up with this awesome back to school room decoration idea where you make your pencils
look like a bouquet of flowers! And I'm gonna show you how to make it. I am using some coloring
pencils, hot glue and pink daisy flowers. All we have to do is apply some glue on the
back of the flower and stick it on the pencil like so. Easy peasy and so adorable. You can
do this to any kind of pencils, pens or sharpies. I like using coloring pencils because they
add an additional pop of color to this bouquet. Here comes the last flower and I am ready
to put it on my desk! How pretty is this pencil flower bouquet, right? I've never seen something
like that before and must say I am pretty proud of myself for inventing it. Taps herself
on the shoulder, good job girl, good job. Of course this DIY school supplies guide wouldn't
be epic without an emoji school bag, so let's quickly make one! Print out emojis of your
choice to the transfer paper. You can make them as big or as small as you like. I went
for rather bigger statement ones. You will also need a school bag, iron, scissors, and
emoji print outs. Start cutting your emojis out leaving about quarter of an inch of paper
around them. Transfer paper DIYs are so awesome to make as they take little time and effort,
but the result is always amazing. I like how you can make personalized gifts, like funny
shirts and stuff for your friends in a sec. Once all your emojis are cut out, place them
on the bag with the front facing down. I am going for nine emojis all over the front of
my bag. Time to iron these guys in place! Here you just need to follow the instructions
for your transfer paper, because they can differ, between different producers. Then
let it cool completely, before you can peel away the transfer paper. This is the best
part of the DIY, revealing how awesome bag we've just created! I love how my emoji bag
turned out. I kind of have a temptation to decorate all my bags and backpacks with different
emojis, because I just think they look so awesome! Here I paired my bag with some patterned
pants that are super comfy, totally like pjs, white shirt and navy slip-ons.
Besides all of that awesome goodies that we've just created we also have to give a lil' makeover
to our boring notebooks! For the first design we need to have a cheap notebook, white paper,
mod podge, and a paint brush. Apply a thin layer of mod podge all over the cover of your
notebook. You can also use double sided tape or any other glue here. Place the white paper
on and voila - an awesome snow white notebook! Just kidding, we just got ourselves a blank
canvas that we are now going to decorate with colorful pineapples. Take the acrylic paint
of your choice, paint brush and a black pen. Squeeze two paint colors close together and
swirl it a bit with a brush to create a nice marble effect. I went for pink and yellow
here. Dip your thumb in the paint and press it on the notebook! Next I am combining yellow
and blue. Dip the thumb in and press it down for some pretty green, blue and yellow pineapples.
Continue making these around the entire notebook. I already love how it's turning out! Leave
the paint to dry completely. Take a black pen and add a bunch of leafs on top of each
pineapple plus some random pattern like squares, waves, lines or v shapes on the pineapple's
body. This represents that texture which pineapple has. Talking about personalized notebooks
– this one has your fingerprints all over – now that's unique and one of a kind just
like you are! Just have to decorate my final pineapple and my notebook is all done! I am
in love with this colorful pineapple design. You can totally make it on canvas for an awesome
wall décor! I will probably make one for my room because it just looks amazing!
How about an Instagram notebook guys? Put together an Instagram profile on an A4 page
on your PC. I used some of my favorite pictures, a quote, plus I wrote on a subject and a school
year. Of course you can personalize your Instagram page completely to your liking and once you
are happy with how it looks – just print it out. Ok, from now on the process is very
straightforward – all we have to do is stick the Instagram paper sheet on the notebook
cover. Use Mod podge, glue or double sided tape like I did. Stick on some tape strips
and place the printout on. Here we have our awesome Insta notebook. I haven't seen anything
like this before and I like how you can personalize it with your favorite photos and quotes. I
bet this one would win the school's coolest notebook award if such thing existed.
Last but not least I will show you how to decorate and organize this beautiful binder.
To dress up the cover I am using some colored paper, big circle puncher, three small hole
punchers of different shapes and double sided tape. With a big circle puncher cut out a
bunch of colorful circles. You can also do this with scissors if you don't have such
puncher. Once you have loads of these circles ready, take a small puncher and make one small
shape hole in each of the circles. You can totally make this DIY without these, I just
happen to have these punchers so I thought I might as well use them. I have a star, flower
and a heart. All of our circles are now ready so take a piece of double sided tape or a
glue and stick them on the binder cover. We will get this colorful baubles design and
I love how the small holes make the baubles look nice and 3D. The last circle coming in
and here we go – the front cover is looking super pretty. Now I can show you a few tips
on how you can organize your binder! First let's make a little folder or a pocket on
the back of the cover. Cut one side of the paper diagonally like that and stick it on
the inside of the binder using some washi tape. Such folder is very useful but also
cute to look at. Binders are handy because you can use one for many subjects. But it's
important to organize it well so you don't end up mixing all the notes of different subjects
into one giant mess. For a simple binder organizer start by writing down subjects on small rectangle
pieces of card stock paper. Once the name tags are ready, just stick each of them on
a bit thicker paper using glue or double sided tape. Make sure to stick each tag a bit lower
than the previous. This way you will have the overview on all the subjects as soon as
you open the binder. There you go! Now you can have your notes organized and together
for each subject and you will never end up with a mess where all the notes get mixed
up. Trust me I've been there and it's really frustrating. Such binders are also a great
relief for your shoulders, because instead of carrying a bunch of notebooks to school
everyday, you can just carry one binder and have everything in one place.

Buying school supplies can really hurt your wallet, especially if you are picky with the
designs. Making things yourself can save you a lot of money and as I show in this video
you can make so much cooler school supplies at home than you could ever buy in a store.
