DIY School Supplies

Hello there!

Today I decided to take you through a tutorial on how to spice up your old folders and plain pencils! You could use these techniques for notebooks and binders! The folder that I'm going to share with you is the blue and green chevron patterned one. Next, I'm going to
show you how tho make the green and white pencil.

Hope You Enjoy!

Materials:

Old Folders

Mod Podge or Clear School Glue

Colorful Paper

Spray Paint

Painters Tape 

Step1:

Glue a colorful paper of your choice on your old, yucky and umm... in my case drawn on by a young artist, folder :) I also recommend laying a newspaper or something like that on your working surface to protect it. Then I put something heavy on it.

Step 2:

Now, after it dries you can tape any design you want with your tape. It is best to use painters tape because it won't rip your paper.

Step 3:

After that, you want to spray paint the folder.

Step 4:

If you would like, you can add paper to cover the pockets.

And Finally...

Here's how it turned out! I just put a label on the folder that I made it's done! How easy was that? Now, you can make a bunch of your own unique school supplies using this technique! 

Now the Pencils

Materias:

Any Tape 

Pencils

Paint Or Spray Paint

Step 1:

 You will need to tepe oh gosh I can't type today :) tape the eraser off so hat you wont get any paint on it.

And, if you want a design on your pencil, then tape strips on your pencil.

Step 2:

Then, you need to paint your pencils. You can paint a couple of colors, like here, but be careful to not to paint on the other side of your tape. 

Step 3:

Now, this step is optional, but here you can spray paint your pencil.

Step 4:

Next, after the paint dries, you can peel off the tape and Ta Da! There is a cool design on the pencil! I hope you liked this tutorial and I hope you make one of these diy's!
