Going to the stationery store was pure magic for me as a kid — even if it was just to wander through the aisles and admire all the cute notebooks, sparkly pens and pastel highlighters. There was something so enchanting about back-to-school season… it meant I had an excuse to look for the cutest supplies I could find and daydream about how I’d use them.
But truth be told, it wasn’t always easy. Most of the time, I couldn’t find exactly what I had imagined… and the prettiest things were almost always way too expensive.
That’s when everything changed: I discovered the magical world of YouTube tutorials on how to customize school supplies — and I was hooked! ✂️✨
For three whole summers, DIYing my school supplies became a little ritual of mine.
