DIY school supplies and life hacks

Hey guys it's Erika! Today, I’m going to show you some DIY supplies and life hacks for back to school.

#1 To do list

For this one, you’re going to need a frame (mine is from IKEA) and a background picture. For the background, you can print one from the internet, draw it yourself or use lined paper. Just cut it the size of the frame then put it in. The glass of the frame is going to act like a whiteboard so you can write with erasable markers on it. This DIY is perfect for keeping track off all those homework and tasks that you have to do especially if you’re not a very organized person.

#2 DIY magnets

To make these really cute magnets you’re going to need cardboard, paint (the color depends on what your magnets are going to be), a sharpie (for the details), a paintbrush, glue, and magnet strips. First, you want to start by cutting the cardboard the shape of your magnets. Then, you’re going to paint it. I decided to make an alien, a smiley face and a diamond. For the black details, I used the sharpie instead or paint. After everything has dried, cut the magnet strips and glue them on the back of your magnets. Then you’re done. You can put them in your locker for decoration. Plus you can make a ton of these.

#3 Book organizer

You know how sometimes at school you have like 3 books to read at the same time and then you can't find them because you have a bunch of book all around your room, well I have the solution for you. Just use this paper organizer to store some of your books. It's going to keep them organized and always at the same place so they are easy to take and put back.

#4 Accordion pockets folder

Accordion pocket folders are perfect for organizing all your school papers. So each time you have papers that you know you won't use anymore you can put them in the folder so you can check them back for your finals. Plus they make some with 13 different sections which is definitely enough for your school subjects. They also have some with fewer pockets.

#5 Cinnamon gum

I never tried this one because I don't like gum but apparently if you take cinnamon gum at school it's supposed to make you focus more in class. So if you're the type of person to have trouble focusing you could try this hack and tell me if it actually works. 

Thanks again guys! I hope you enjoyed and I wish you good luck for back to school.
