Open up your Design Space software and use the Text option to create your cut with the name you want. I also already knew he would want the brighter color of the decal to be orange, and I like how blue and orange look together. It’s a color we both like, and I also liked the look of the translucent plastic. I picked out a blue box for Chase from Dollar Tree. Get an inexpensive plastic pencil box and measure the lid. I think you’ll be amazed.įollow the directions below if you want to send your own kids to school with a cute custom pencil box. If you don’t have a Cricut I strongly suggest you look into getting one for yourself! Read What is a Cricut Machine and How Does it Work to learn about all it can do. This was a fun project to make with my kid sitting alongside me, offering up his creative suggestions and preferences as I moved through Cricut Design Space.Ĭhase choose the color orange for his name, and agreed that I could make it “look cool” with more stuff around it. Any Cricut machine will work for this craft, so don’t feel like you need to have the exact same machine that I have in order to make it work. Note: I could have used my Cricut Explore Air 2 to cut the material for this project. Most of his school supplies need to be labeled with his name anyway, but the Cricut just makes the idea of labeling and customizing things so much more fun! It’s just a happy coincidence that my new Cricut gave me the opportunity to make a personalized pencil box for him. I’m thinking that maybe I should have included him more in all of that shopping, planning and preparing, but it’s not too late. But him? My youngest? He’s totally oblivious to this big milestone.Īll of this is to say that, for now, back to school appears to be far more important to me than to him.

I’m shocked that its already back to school time. To my surprise, he had no interest in picking out anything except his backpack and lunch bag, so I dove into the rest of the list.īut lets just pause for just a second. A personalized pencil box!Ĭhase is starting kindergarten in just a couple of weeks and he had a surprisingly big school supplies shopping list for a five year old. I got a little crafty this weekend! I was playing around with my Cricut Joy and decided to whip up my first project for my little guy.
