Going back to school sucks just as much for you as it does for your kids. Sure, you get them out of the house, but now you have to listen to them complain about tests and homework, and you get the giant bill for all their new school supplies. These DIY school supplies are easy to make at home (one even uses a shower caddy!) and fun for the whole family. Plus they’re less expensive and more unique than buying school supplies, and they don’t take long to make. You’ll have more than enough time to buy their back-to-school supplies and plan the perfect first-day outfits, we promise.
