Fun Back to School Projects To Make With Your Kids
The beach balls and pool noodles have disappeared from store shelves and have been replaced with backpacks, lunch boxes, and back-to-school supplies.
Fall may be on the way, but there's still time to add a pop of creativity to those last few days of summer with resin crafts you and your child can make together. From personalized keychains and bag tags to custom desk accessories and thoughtful teacher gifts, these resin projects are fun to make - and useful, too. Match your school's color scheme, personalize them with names or initials, and create something totally unique for the new school year.
This year, brighten up the classroom with resin crafts! Here are some of our favorite ideas ...
Add some Resin Magic to School Supplies
Custom Color Options
Resin gives you the freedom to match any color scheme your child loves: pastel pinks, bold neons, or your school's team colors. Just add a few drops of pigment to your resin for totally customized accessories that stand out in the classroom.
Personalization Made Easy
Add initials, names, photos, or class numbers to bag tags and keychains. Resin makes it easy to embed meaningful details and protect them under a glossy, durable finish. Functional and fun!
Match A Theme or Style
Whatever your child’s personality, resin lets you reflect it:
-
Animal lover? Create a backpack tag with paw prints
-
Into sports? Customize with team colors or a decal of their team's logo.
-
Loves sparkles? Go wild with glitter, iridescent flakes, or holographic shine.
Resin Bag Tags & Keychains
With molds available in every shape you can imagine, resin bag tags and keychains turn a plain backpack or house key into something personal and playful!
Create charms in your kid's favorite colors, or add their name using vinyl decals or letter beads.
You can even make a matching set to share with a best friend - perfect if they’re heading to a different class or school this year.

Resin Magnets
These colourful and functional resin magnets are as fun to make as they are to use! Try creating a full alphabet set to help younger kids practice spelling, or personalize a few with their name or a heart shape. They’re perfect for hanging artwork, notes, or reminders on the fridge in a way that feels special.

Resin Hair Accessories
Send little ones off to school with something extra special you made just for them - or even better, that you made together! Create hair clips in their favorite colors or themes, or fun hair tie charms they'll be excited to wear.
