Heidi Swapp Old School Collection Goes Back to School by Jamie Pate

diy gift old school style


Well, for some of us it's back to school...
Odd time, no?
In the spirit of things I wanted to think a little forward.
Making a few little teacher gifts for GOING back to school might be just the thing to encourage teachers.
I know my youngest's school...those teachers cannot wait to get back to the classroom.
I wanted to let them know in a simple way that I was that thankful for them and their service.

This DIY gift is not a new idea. As a matter of fact I think that Heidi has mastered this concept.

Using a selection of the new Old School PaperLine I went to craft a little scrap book. Just a little bound book for jotting notes. I know I personally love having these around. You know, for the random thoughts that come up.

A happy accident was not only having this very positive message front and center: Good Vibes, but also that the little book was strong enough to stand up. So it makes like this little visual reminder for the teacher's desktop. I may be having a hard time giving this one away.

 For this book I added a little notched tag at the top. And then tied on one of the new Old School Charms. That pink cord comes with the charm set. I really loved how this came together. I think the charm finishes it off nicely.

I went to make another jotter with a different color hue. Watch my IGTV channel. This will publish very soon. These books are easy to make. But I wanted to give a video guide so that you too could not only have a play at Old School, but also craft a simple but thoughtful gift. These aren't just only for teachers. These would make great hostess gifts. Birthday gifts. Or neighbor gifts just because.

Please note: In the IGTV video, I am using the Heidi Swapp Cinch to bind these gifts. I see that Scrapbookcom is sold out of that style. However, WRMK has another one that is just the same. You can find those supplies below.
