What a great project idea from Fiskars- Get ahead on getting yourself organized for the school year.
Back to School Command Center
Difficulty rating: Beginner
Designer: Katrina Simeck
Mornings are so hectic in my house – it’s always a mad scramble for backpacks, books, lunches, and paperwork. I’ve often used a “command center” to help organize our lives. This back-to-school command center creates a place for paperwork to land – ensuring that you’re never digging through piles of paper in the wee hours!
Instructions
1. I started with a posterboard covered with kraft paper. You could also use a corkboard, or even just a blank space on the wall.
2. To create pockets for each category, I covered manila folders with cardstock. The Fiskars Notebook punch gives a school-themed edge to each pocket.
Each pocket measures approximately 12 inch x 9 inch.
3. Use Fiskars border punches to create a border to ground the “title” of each pocket. In this example, I used the Scalloped Sentiments border punch, and the new In Stitches border punch, then added a title with cardstock letters.
4. The new limited edition An Apple a Day squeeze punch is perfect for adding back-to-school details! I used the punch once on red cardstock, then again on green cardstock to create a realistic looking apple design.
5. Slip important paperwork into each pocket, and enjoy a little more peace in your mornings!
