Adorable way to turn a roll of Rolos into a fun back-to-school treat. Directions can be found at the BlackberryVine.

CREATE - Fabric band aids

How cute is this? Fabric and ribbon covered band aids. This will definitely make a boo-boo go bye-bye. Or perhaps a teacher gift?  Wouldn't you love being the "cool" teacher with the funky band aids?

DECORATE - Back-to-School - Part 2

I wanted a more modern version of back- to-school decor for my sister's house. And here it is...

 

I loved this letter made out of crayons from the moment I first saw it in Family Fun magazine. And with crayons on sale for back-to-school it's an inexpensive project. I thought about doing a different letter, but decided to go with a "c" for crayon. My niece also made a "4th" since she's going into 4th grade to give to her teacher. One tip when making this - brighter colors look better.Darker colors like blue, purple and black all just look black and muted.

 

I found this great back-to-school subway art at eighteen 25. I love that site! They have great ideas.

Everything else was stuff we already had filled with school supplies! I love the bright fun colors.
