This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cricut. All opinions are 100% mine.

Learn how to personalize school supplies, make a custom learning space, and add a little creativity to the school year with your Cricut machine! These back to school projects are easy, inexpensive, fast to make!

I’ve talked often about my love for Cricut. I have a Cricut Explore Air 2, Cricut Maker, and a Cricut Joy (and all sorts of Cricut Joy accessories!) and use all three regularly!

Right now with school right around the corner, my Cricut use has tripled as we try to get things setup for a combination of at home and in-person school. It’s a lot.

I’m guessing other people are probably in the same situtation, so I’ve put together a bunch of fun back to school Cricut projects you can make with your Cricut. Perfect for being a bit more organized going into the year.

Set Up a Classroom

For teachers going back to school, setting up classrooms looks a bit different than it has in past years. These ideas can make those changes a bit easier to handle!

Four vinyl social distancing signs for a classroom

Customize with Quotes
Everyone can use a little reminder to be kind and patient right now and this tutorial shows you a fun way to remind people permanently with DIY quote tissue boxes. I love this idea for either a teacher gift or to keep at home – we can all use a little more kindness right now!

Personalize School Supplies

It is so easy to personalize school supplies with your Cricut, some vinyl, and a little imagination. Here are some of the most creative ways I have seen with personalization!

It feels like nothing is really as easy this year as it has been in the past. One example – picking out the perfect backpack. If your kids can’t find the backpack of their dreams this year, use this tutorial to create it for them!

Create an At-Home Learning Space

For everyone doing at-home learning whether it be homeschool, remote learning, or a combination of both – these ideas can help create organized spaces for all the stuff!
