Welcome back to another installment of Make It Hybrid Monday. Can you believe that the school year is here? What better way to celebrate the back to school season then create a few hybrid projects? Trixie Scraps has so many fun kits that are just perfect for back to school gifts.

At the beginning of the month, Sandy showed us how to create a cute nail kit using Saffron Blues. Using the same kit, I made backpacks for both a boy and a girl and filled it with back to school goodies like crayons and a bag of snacks for an easy surprise on the first day of school!

I started with the Backpack Template from Krisi’s Kreations and decorated it using the Saffron Blues kit. Once printed and assembled, I adhered a button with ribbon and added Glossy Accents to the name on the boy backpack and added flowers and brads onto the girl backpack. I used some ribbon from my stash of ribbons and strung them through the back and up through the top so that they can hang on the door or on a peg. Both backpacks were closed with velcro dot enclosures found in the sewing section in your local craft store.

A totally easy and cute project to surprise your special student! What other projects do you do to celebrate the back to school season? Link us up here so that we can make sure to showcase it in the next Make It Hybrid Monday! Have a great week everyone!
