Tons of DIY school supplies to make with Cricut! Get inspired by all of these fun ideas - from personalized backpacks to folders and stickers.

DIY School Supplies

I know I'm not alone in my love for new school supplies. Every year I think about that quote from 'You've Got Mail' - you know the one about the bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils? Even more than freshly sharpened pencils, I love a personalized folder, a monogrammed backpack, or a water bottle with some fun stickers on it. Thank goodness for my Cricut!

In honor of our first week of school, I'm sharing some of the best ideas for DIY school supplies - all made with Cricut machines.

Backpacks and Matching Gear

Okay, these backpacks and their matching lunch boxes, water bottles and school supplies are TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. I can't pick a favorite.
