Craft Roundup: Fabric Based Projects for Back-to-School Fun

If you or children have a big stash of fabric scraps or half-used balls of yarn taking up needed closet space in your house, you might be like me and find yourself sorting through the scraps and looking for any kind of project that will help use them all up. This week’s Make It is once again getting us all ready to head back to school – but this time with projects that will hopefully tackle that fiber-friendly stash of scraps in no time.

Your child can make sure her locker is tidy and ready for a quick book change by creating a set of pencil cup holders with this tutorial by Artzy Creations. Covered in fabric and paired with a magnet on back, they’re out of the way so that your child can grab the supplies he needs ASAP.
