I got this SUPER cute and SUPER organized idea from my blog friend Kelli...who actually got the idea from this blog!

I figured with Henry starting Kindergarten and Grant starting Preschool, we are going to have a ton of school papers coming home every day! So this is my attempt to get organized and have everything in one place.
First, I gathered my materials. I bought some {color-coded...Henry=blue, Grant=green, Eli=orange} folders at Walmart for 15 cents each. And I printed out each of the boys initials on some notecards that I already had.
I cut out the letters in a SUPER cute star shape.
And used my circle cutter to makes circles out of some left over cardboard.
I used double sided foam tape to attach the letters to the cardboard circles, and then I used hot glue to attach the circle to the front of the folder.
I used some SUPER cute stickers to finish writing out each of the boys' names on the folders.
Now all three boys have a SUPER cute color-coded folder {even Eli...you know just in case he has some baby work to do}!
I added some SUPER important school papers...lunch menu, newsletter, and teacher's notes!
And placed the SUPER cute and SUPER organized folders in my filing shelf in the kitchen.
I think {HOPE} this may be the beginning of a very organized school year for us!

Kelli, this is great. I love that you were able to use things you already have. I am going this weekend to get the folders that I need to start on this myself. I'm glad that site was able to help you!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea....I may have to steal it. ;)
ReplyDeleteCute idea! Great way to keep organized for the school year! Have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteYOu are too super cute with all your creativity. I love it! Great job Kelli!
ReplyDeleteThat is so fun! I just love how they look on your shelf! If I tried to attempt that...I would still lose my papers! But, you're right...the kids bring home so many papers, it's ridiculous! I love this idea...I might have to try it!
ReplyDeleteSuper neat!
ReplyDeleteCute! I have letter stickers just like that.
ReplyDeleteLovin' the ideas and your cute blog!

They turned out really cute. I wish I was crafty like that, but I'm not. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea-those are adorable! I need to get more crafty before my kids get in school!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! You know I'm all about some good organization and this is a fabulous idea. I love that you even made one for Eli...you never know what paperwork he might need. ;)
