Well, it's that time of year children dread. Back to school shopping. It's a dreaded reminder that the school year is about to start. But school can be fun if you have the right school approved jewelry!


Shown here is the cool erasers designed by Ahead Creative. It's $39 for a set of 5 colors.

If you are DIY inclined, then try out a couple of tutorials to make going back to school a little more fun?


First up is the eraser ring tutorial from Cute Little Disaster. It requires a drill and carving so either adult supervision is required or it's an adult project to give to schoolchildren.  Having an eraser ring means it's always "handy" when you need to erase a mistake!

Bead and wire wrapping on pens and pencils might be a bit much for young children. However if you use a very strong double sided tape called Treasure Tape, the little ones can make simple beaded wrapped pens. Treasure tape is available at Kreinik (no, I didn't get paid to write this! I google a lot).

If your teenager is craft orientated, then by all means, check out the inspirational designs of my past post on beaded wire wrapped flatware. If it works for cutlery and even chopsticks, it'll work on pens and pencils.
