Only the best for our little ones! If it should be the handicraft set with horse motifs or rather the handicraft set with dinosaurs, then we are happy to fulfill these wishes. At Craft kits the motifs are already pre-cut and we can glue everything on without a lot of snippets.
For all hobbyists, it doesn't have to be a bought kit. We can Simply make school bags yourself, even without a craft kit. We'll show you step by step how this works.
School bag tinker with pompom hair clips
We need this for the first grader school bag:
- blank in white, 70 cm (Of course, the children can choose the color of the school bag blanks themselves.)
- Hair clips
- Striped fabric
- pink and yellow bias binding
- Glossy paper, different colors (alternatively colored crepe paper)
- Wool, Pompom maker
- Glue, double-sided tape
- pink pattern clips (4 and 8 mm)
- Circle cutter
Make a school bag: Instructions for the pompom hair clip school bag
- Glue school paper bags (also called handicraft bags) with glossy paper circles.
- Measure the yellow bias tape, sew it together and fix it with the sample clips on the bag (puncture small holes).
- Make pompoms according to the instructions, fix them to the hair clips, two pompoms come to the ends of a piece of bias tape (pink).
- Measure the circumference of the bag opening, cut the striped fabric plus 2 cm seam allowance.
- Close the seam, sewing on the pink tie in the middle. Border the upper and lower edges with bias tape (fold over and sew).
- Secure the fabric to the edge of the bag with double-sided adhesive tape, press down well.
School bags tinker with cool robots
We need this for the first grader school bag:
- School bag blank in blue
- Robot patterned fabric, 50 cm
- Velor iron-on robot
- Have the name and date (here in the font "Transistor") copied onto transfer film in the copy shop
- red bias binding
- Wallpaper paste
- double sided tape
Tinker school bag: handicraft instructions for the robot school bag
- Make the fabric closure like the girl's bag and fix it on the blank.
- Stick on the lettering at the desired height.
- Cut out the velor robot at a distance of 1 cm, attach it to the bag with the double-sided adhesive tape.
- The top of the bag is also decorated with fabric here: Bias the upper edge with bias tape (fold over and sew on), brush with wallpaper paste and glue on.
