I will fully admit to being one of those moms doing a little dance that school is starting soon.  This summer was fun, but it’s always challenging to be around your little kids all. the. time.  I feel like I can never think of enough activities and the worst part is grocery shopping.  With three, it’s a nightmare!

I wanted to do some fun things for my kids to get excited about going back.  One of my favorite parts was getting shiny new school supplies!  This year I opted to decorate some little school supply bags to help my kids organize their pencils, pens, crayons, markers, etc.  I of course turned to one of my own favorite crafting tools–Sharpies.

I bought the fine and ultra-fine tip Sharpies and some gold ones (because everything is better with gold in it!)  I found these at Staples and then I also found these little canvas/linen zippered bags there as well.  I got some stickers to help with lettering  and went to town.

Confetti:

Step 1:  Place your stickers on the bag.

Step 2:  Put a piece of cardboard under the first layer of the bag (so it’s inside the bag).  This will prevent the Sharpie from bleeding through to the other side.

Step 3:  Start dotting all around the stickers, making sure to dot close to the edge of the stickers so the letters will be apparent.  Use the Ultra-fine tipped ones for the tiny spaces.  Use different sizes and colors.

Step 4:  Once you’re done, keeping the cardboard inside and placing a piece of parchment over the top, iron the bag to set the Sharpie in place.

Step 3:  Trace around the letters using a pencil.  Remove the letters.  Then use your Ultra-Fine Sharpie to go over the pencil.  Fill in the letters with dots or lines.

Freehand Doodles:  Use a pencil to draw your doodles first and fill in with Sharpie!  Use the Ultra-fine for details.

I love how these school supply bags turned out–which is why I love crafting with Sharpies.  It always seems to turn out super cute!  I also love how Staples had everything I needed for this project.  And starting August 10th all Sharpie fine and Ultra Fine markers and highlighters will be on sale at Staples (while supplies last)–so go gettem!

    I love everything about this project! I admitted to Kent the other day that I just love office/school supplies and he told me that was the nerdiest thing I had ever said. But seriously, I have to limit my visits to Staples or even those aisles in stores…And I LOVE sharpies.

      Thanks Mel! Sharpies really are the best.

  2. Hi Heidi! Love this! Can you tell me the brand of those zippered pouches? I went into my local staples but couldn’t find them and I can’t find at staples online either. Thanks so much!

      I had to kind of search for them and they were on an endcap display. However you can probably find them at Home Depot though!
