School is about to begin! In celebration, I’ve put together this roundup of Back to School DIY Ideas. In our neck of the woods we have just ONE week of summer left. We are equally happy and sad about the fact that the kids will be going back to school. We have enjoyed all the time to do fun things, work on projects, and take vacations, but we are ready for the structure and normal routine that the school year brings.
Get your DIY on before that first day! Here’s some inspiration!

16. This School Supply and Craft Organizer by Old House to New Home may be just what you need to keep those kids focused on their homework and not looking for a pencil or scissors. Or is that just my house?
17. Another option is this Homework Organization Station by Anika’s DIY Life that solves so many issues! 
18. And last but not least, show off your kids’ work throughout the school year with this Family Display Board by Abbotts At Home! I adore this idea.
