Backpacks are one of the tools that suffer the most throughout the year and may be frayed or broken when the summer holidays arrive. In some cases you can sew, but in others, it never hurts to put some patches, either sewn or those adhesive that are activated with the iron.

The erasers that we can find in the drawers, they can be given funny shapes with a cutter and a lot of patience. In this way, our child will have a unique and completely personalized eraser.

The old comes back, as we did in the eighties. Do you remember when we lined the folders with our favorite singer or group? We can download photos from the Internet, print them and paste them into folders or even notebooks. Then put a transparent plastic on top to protect them.

Simply, put the tip of the markers in a glass with a little alcohol, that will make them last a little longer.

With crayons already worn, you can make a multicolored sculpture. You just have to put them in a container in a water bath to be liquefied, the remaining liquid can be placed in a mold, let it dry and you will have a unique decorative object.

The sheets of notebooks that have not been worn can be used by spiraling or directly putting them with some rings.

Pencils that are damaged but can still be used can be recycled with washi tape, giving them a completely different look.
