Back to school - Tip #2


Using a few simple crafting pieces and an over the door hanger with hooks for everyday of the week.

You can buy these thin pieces of wood at Hobby Lobby (4 to a package) and then used my crop-o-dile to punch a larger hole to thread the twine through.

Then use scrapbook paper that matches child's room to cover the wood label. Use mod podge to adhere the paper, but as you know sometimes you can get a few bubbles. Use a little roller to roll over the paper to smooth out any little air bubbles. It works perfectly.

Use stickers to mark the days of the week on each label.

Punch a hole through the paper in the same place as the label hole and added twine so it could be attached to the door hanger.

Once the labels are tied on kids can pick out their own clothes for the whole week. They can also add accessories like belts, necklaces or scarves to the top hook to go with each outfit.

This is another system you can use. Buy these hooks in the hardware area. You can hang 2 options of clothes on the hooks. That way they can have a part in deciding what they wear but you know it’s appropriate for school. Just add another outfit before bedtime for the next day so they always have 2 options.
