Creative Ways to Personalize Back to School with Cricut

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cricut. All opinions are 100% mine.

There are so many new things to pack and personalize this school year. Never in my wildest imagination would I have thought I’d be shopping for and then personalizing face masks for my kids “back to school” lists. Today I’m sharing 3 ways I used my Cricut Joy to personalize some of our 2020 back to school essentials.

Mask Bags
Stay Safe Kits

Mask Personalizing with Cricut

Lots of kids will be getting masks from the same local shops and same big retailers, so chances of them having the same mask as another kid is really good. There are not too many things more gross to do with a mask than wear someone else’s SO personalizing and labeling them is key.

Mask Bags

Another thing that can quickly make mask wearing not so clean is re wearing the same one over and over again or wearing one that fell on the ground, etc. Our schools have asked that the kids bring in spare masks and when I was getting a little bag to put them in, I realized there should also be a separate bag for the dirty ones. Cricut had a face mask image in the library so I used that to design some fun “clean masks” and “dirty masks” bags for their backpacks.

“Stay Safe” Kits

I also thought it would be good to have little “stay safe” bags. These can go in a back pack, to sports, the playground etc. Then each kid has one and you know there are extra safety essentials in them and you can just grab and go. Also instead of rattling off all the things they should have when heading out the door (masks, gloves, sanitizer, wipes, etc), you can just say “did you grab a stay safe kit”. You can add what you see fit, but here is what’s in ours:

And for one last back to school bonus project while my Cricut was out… personalized pencil cases too!

I loved using my Cricut Joy for these projects. The machine is so versatile and easy to use. It’s small enough that it sits on my desk next to my laptop (and connects to the bluetooth). So whenever there’s a new mask to personalize, I can do it!
