Material list

Starting school is something very special. Thanks to our great handicraft ideas, the schoolchild can call very special handicrafts their own. Some of them also help with organising, keeping track of things and much more.

Pencil Garland
Cut 19 x 7 cm strips from colourful photo cardboard. For our lettering you will need 15 photo cardboard strips.

To design the pencil tips , cut 4 x 7 cm strips from a beige photo carton and glue them onto the coloured strips with 0.5 cm spacing. Now cut a tip from the beige-coloured Paper . This creates the pen look.

When all the "pens" have been cut to size, blackboard foil labels are applied

Spray the letters with paint spray . After drying, these are stuck onto the labels with Handicraft glue .

Punch 2 holes in each pin with a hole puncher . Now pull the Satin ribbon through and knot a loop at each end.
Make a timetable
The self-designed timetable is just the right thing for your school child. It can even be understood without reading. Comprehensible pictures show the child which lessons are scheduled .

Coat a glued wood panel with Magnetic paint and let them dry well. Repeat this procedure five times.
Then apply three layers one after the other Board paint onto the glued wood panel. In between always let the Board paint dry.
For the name of the schoolchild, draw the letters of his name with Handicraft paint in your desired colours. For the other decorations, such as the monsters, cut the desired motifs from the scrapbooking block

With white board chalk you paint a hour slice on the dried board. From the notepad you take six pieces of paper in different colours. Draw a clock on one note and cut it out, cut the remaining notes to size so that they fit into the grid of the timetable. Add the times of the lessons to the notes.

Use coloured chalk to enter the days of the week in the grid at the top.

Now the school subjects are created as magnets. Draw symbols for the respective school subjects with Aquarelle crayons and fineliners Wooden discs. In our example, we have drawn music and musical notes for the subject music, we have used numbers for arithmetic and math, different religious symbols for religion, a brush with splashes of paint for art, a globe for expertise and a runner for sport. There are no limits to your imagination. Your child will understand the timetable without being able to read it himself.
Finally, glue magnets with Handicraft glue behind the Wooden discs, notepads, monsters and letters. After drying, you can attach everything to the timetable.

Extra tips

Tip 1: Do you want to hang the timetable on the wall? Simply staple Jute ribbon to the back of the wall and you can easily hang the timetable up.
Tip 2: Would you like to hang your child's timetable on the refrigerator? Then simply use our Blackboard film instead of the plate! You can attach it to your refrigerator with magnets.

Design practical magazine racks






We have our standing collectors quite simply with Handicraft paint painted. In our example we painted one with azure blue and the other with may green. The edges of the standing collectors you paint in each case with the other color
Now you can paint motifs from the Scrapbook block remove, cut and label. With Handicraft glue onto the standing collectors

There they are, the geniuses of organization!
Create colourful Note box
Glue coloured wooden spatulas (height 11 cm) with wood glue around the Note box. After drying, fill the box with notepads .


Folder for labelling
This fancy folder is designed super fast

Simply glue Blackboard film on your binder. Afterwards you can design it with chalk as you like.
