It is almost the end of summer! And that means that the school year is almost here. American girl came out with the new school supplies, but I made my own!

To make school books, cut out a piece of cardboard and put a paper cover on it. You can use glue or tape. It doesn’t matter.

To make pencils, cut a wooden rod and make a piece about 2 inches long. With scissors, point the end (like carving). I used a Sharpie to make the tip black.

The zig-zag pattern is duct tape.

This is a folder. I used a piece of cardstock and duct tape.

I hope you like these crafts! I will be starting high school next week because I’m homeschooled. I don’t know if I’ll have time to write posts during the week. I hope to still write Funny Friday posts and other fun things. Thanks for reading! :)
