I’m so excited to share this craft with you today.  If you missed my FB post last week, I have partnered with Darice and Pat Catan’s craft store to make this DIY School Supply Caddy.  This project is located on an endcap in Pat Catan’s stores along with a tear-off sheet with the tutorial! I’m so excited to have my work featured in a store. It’s seriously more than I ever could have imagined when I started this blog.  If you can’t get to a Pat Catan’s to get your hands on the tutorial, you’re in luck because I’m sharing it here today.

I made this for my son who started kindergarten this year. It sits on a little table in his room where he does his homework.  He is so excited to be in school this year just like his big sister.
