    DIY BACK TO SCHOOL BANNER

    It's that time of year again.  The smell of new books and fresh boxes of crayons fills the air.  I love the excitement of school supply shopping, and organizing backpacks, but admittedly I'm far less excited about actually sending my boys back to school.  I kinda like having them around.  But like it or not the days are ticking down and it will be here in a week.  So to get in the mood I had them help me whip up this fun little back to school banner. With Graphic Design Service Subscription there are many options.  And now you can too!

    SUPPLIES NEEDED

    • Stapler
    • Markers
    • Red craft paint
    • Foam brushes
    • Twine or string
    • Scissors
    • Half an apple
    • Lined printable paper

    HOW TO MAKE BACK TO SCHOOL BANNER

    1-Have your kids paint the apple till it's completely covered in red paint and then stamp it on your paper.

    2- Add a little stem and leaf with markers to complete the look of an apple.

    3- If your kids are old enough to write, have them write the letters for "B-A-C-K-T-O-S-C-H-O-O-L" with one letter on each page.  Isn't little kid handwriting just the cutest!?  And the banner will be even more special when it's your own child's writing, but if they're not quite old enough for that yet, you can just print off the banner at the end of the post!

    4- Fold the tops of each paper down about ¼ inch and staple it around your twine.  Then hang the diy back to school banner on your mantel or wherever strikes your fancy!

    Also keep your eyes out for inexpensive teacher gifts.  I'm a sucker for a good apple theme and whipped up these for $2 for my boys to give their teachers on the first day of school...
