It's the middle of August, and that means school is right around
the corner. Parents are happy their kids won't be driving them
crazy anymore. But before you get your kids out of your hair and
send them back to school, it's time for some DIY projects! Check
out these 10 awesome DIY ideas to make the upcoming school
year run a bit smoother.
Floating Organizer:
This is the holy grail for an organizer. Everything you might
need and more are incorporated in this design. The added room for
creativity is a plus. If you aren't set on the plain white boarder,
make it pop with our Ultra Marks! Bethaney from Realility Day Dream used them in one of
her projects.

Homework Caddy:
If your kids don't do homework in their room or if you live
somewhere warm, this homework caddy is a must have. If you don't
like these colors, stain it with our Solar-Lux NGR Dye Stain!

Mini-Desk Organizer:
Super sleek, and super handy. Keep your desk looking modern and
clutter free. You could also decorate it, which is why it's great
for anyone. We reccomend using Pro Marks if you want to keep a minimal
look, but spice up the edges with just a touch of color.

Bag Holder:
Do your kids throw their stuff done when they get home? You can
use our Solar-Lux NGR Dye Stain to change the
colors up, but make sure the letters will still be visable.

Corner Organizer:
If you have a corner near your desk, this organzier is perfect.
You can customize it to your liking, but folders and papers won't
stand a chance against this thing. Or you can store all your Mohawk
products on this. Just saying.

Crayon Holder:
If you have younger kids, this crayon holder would save you from
plenty of future messes. You could also change the hole size to fit
other types of writing utensils. A combo of Solar-Lux NGR Dye Stain and Ultra Marks would work wonders for this
project.

Chalkboard:
You can use this chalkboard for almost anything. To-do list,
chores, schedules, etc. It's so versatile and unique we had to add
it to our list. If your kid ever gets a dent in it, use our Fill Sticks to repair it.

Picure Frame:
This frame got converted to a daily to-do list. One of my
personal favorite projects on this list. Touch up any corners or
edges with Pro Marks.

Desk Organizer:
If you didn't like the floating organizer from above, this is
the alternative. Plenty of room to store items and lots of
space to keep track of important papers. Use Solar-Lux NGR Dye Stain to get rid of the
boring white.

First day Plac:
And last but not least, if you're like most moms, a first day of
school picture was mandatory. Now this would help build memories to
smile while looking back on.
