Summer vacation is still in full swing, but we’re already secretly thinking about the new school year. Stores are filling up with new pens, notebooks, and planners, and you, too, can get a creative head start. But why buy everything off the shelf when you can crochet your own unique school supplies? In this blog, we’re happy to provide you with practical, personalized, and above all, original items to kick off the new school year creatively.
What can you make for school?
Here are a few fun projects you can make yourself. They’re perfect to get started on now, before the New school year begins. Get creative for yourself, or make a fun back-to-school project as a gift!
1. Crocheted pencil case
A pencil case is a must-have—both for your Crochet Hooks and your pens. Use a sturdy yarn like Yarn and Colors Must-Have. Then finish off your pencil case with a nice zipper or button. That way, you’ll have a stylish accessory that no one else has. To help you get started, we’ve put together some cool patterns and kits for you. Which project will you tackle first?



2. Backpack or bag for when you're on the go
Surprise your child or grandchild with a homemade bag! Just make sure there’s enough room for their lunchbox or gym gear! It’s also fun to put your child’s name on it. Super handy! This is sure to make any child happy, right?



3. Keychains and bag charms
You can use leftover yarn to crochet small figures, flowers, or name tags. Attach them to your backpack, bag, or pencil case for a cheerful and personal touch. Think, for example, of mini Amigurumi, crocheted letters, or cheerful fruit figures.
