7 creative ideas for back-to-school

Back-to-school is just around the corner. If you're still looking for ideas to create trendy school supplies and accessories for a successful back-to-school season, you've come to the right place!
Discover our 7 creative ideas to be at the top of your game for back-to-school:

1 - A unique pen

Pens are a must-have for every schoolchild. Did you know that you can personalize pens (and yours too)? For a unique, personalized pen, simply string beads or cover the barrel with polymer clay. For the more experienced, you can even make your own line of ballpoint pens with a special resin mold. Say goodbye to ordinary ballpoint pens, and give her the pleasure of making a pen that looks like no other.

2 - A graduated ruler

Another must-have school kit accessory: the graduated ruler. For maths, geometry, drawing, French... Use it to draw lines, organize lessons, underline key words in lessons, keep notebooks clean and attractively presented... Often transparent and colorless for the basic models, they deserve a little pimpering to bring some fun into the school kit. Create a graduated ruler in resin and personalize it according to your children's tastes. Add dyes, sequins, microbeads, dried flowers, stickers... and you're all set!

3 - A fabric kit

Attention budding and experienced seamstresses! Make a unique fabric pencil case for your child to keep all the pencils lying around on his desk (and all over his room). What's more, you can personalize it with your child's favorite fabric color.

4 - A personalized notebook cover

Protecting notebooks with a notebook cover is a bit (always!) the same hassle every time school starts. Uniform, unicolored, cardboard or plastic, nothing crazy. Why not make your own? A little resin in a silicone mold to make the notebook covers, flashy colors, glitter, vacation souvenirs... Let your imagination run wild!

5 - A personalized bookmark

Older children will certainly have a book (or several) to read. And to help them stay on the page, the ideal solution is to make them a unique resin bookmark: funny stickers, pictures of their superheroes, small objects to resin, dried flowers, original colors... Place everything in the silicone mold to create a rectangular bookmark, pour in the resin and let the magic happen. Customize with pearls, chain or pompoms... and you've got a stylish bookmark. Success guaranteed!

6 - A telephone jewel

We've thought of the slightly older kids who want to personalize their cell phones. From a simple phone cord to be worn like a shoulder bag, to phone jewelry with beads in all colors, to a big link phone chain... It's been a must-have for some seasons now.

7 - Bag jewelry

... Or rather, a jewel for a schoolbag or a jewel for a backpack. The idea is to personalize your child's schoolbag or backpack. It could be a string of pearls, charms attached to the zipper, a simple pompom or an adorable kawai-style polymer clay figurine.
