First Day of School Sign Craft Ideas

You can elevate your first day of school signs with these fun crafty add-ons. They’re totally optional, so no pressure, but you can consider them a bit of “extra credit” if you really want your first day of school sign to make a splash.

Make a Frame Out of Rulers

You may want to frame your first day of school sign to preserve that special memory with you and your children. Don’t use any old frame, though! Make it special and on theme by turning a frame into a school supply frame.

You can start with a normal frame and ordinary rulers. All you’re going to do is hot glue the rules around the edges of the frame. You can add other little school supplies like erasers, stickers, and washi tape for some extra flare.

Take Your Sign to the Next Level

While you’ve got your school supplies out, take your first day of school sign to the next level. You can just fill it out and maybe color it a little, but why stop there? Encourage your child’s creativity with stickers and washi tape, but also glitter, markers, and maybe even some paint.

You can personalize these signs with your name and grade, but you can also add even more personal flare. A sticker pack is a super fun way to do this that’s great for even the little kids!

Turn Your First Day of School Signs into a Scrapbook

Are first day of school signs a tradition in your home? If so, don’t let those old signs go into the trash. Save those special memories in a scrapbook! You can get a simple scrapbook at any store that would be great for preserving these pages. They will be so special to look back on in a few years as your kids grow up.
