Back To School Welcome Kit

by Jen Causey of Something Turquoise

Welcome students back to school with personalized gift bags. Create little kits, that will help get students excited for the school year ahead, in just a few quick steps. This project is also great for parents looking to help make going back to school special for their children.

Tools used

Step 1: Measure each plain brown paper bag to 3.5" high, and then trim using the Fiskars Pinking Paper Edgers.

Step 2: Draw a simple ruler guide on a piece of paper and then transfer the design onto the left side of each paper bag.

Step 3: Add a personalized welcome back message to the front of each bag.

Step 4: Using brightly colored paper and the XL bow tie squeeze punch, punch out a bow to top each girls pencil with. Match the bow paper color to the scissor handle color for a stylish look. Assemble the bows and adhere them to each pencil using adhesive dots or a hot glue gun. For the boys, simply cut out little paper flags and attach to pencils.

Step 5: Assemble and share the gift bags!
