Okay so for today's video

actually this is a very special day in the modafam

BECAUSE

now i know that going back to school can be a very dreadful, stressful time

but I really hope that I can make going back to school at least a tiny bit fun and exciting for you guys

so that is why today I'm gonna show you DIY back to school organization

which is just a bunch of ways to organize your school work

and also organize your room a little bit

so it makes things easier when you get home from school

just a lot of really fun ideas that have helped me stay so organized recently

but I'm honestly in love with them all

and I really hope you guys try them out

so if you do, send me your pictures with the hashtag back2schoolwithBeth

I have very very exciting news for you guys that you'll actually see during this video

so I have just released my first ever room decor line

what even.. like

as you guys know I'm obsessed with decorating my room

and just a lot of interior design stuff, I really love it so much

and I was given an amazing opportunity by Aeropostale

to design me own bedroom line

so that's actually the bedding it's on my bed rut now and the pillows

Everything is actually available right now on aeropostale.com so I have a link below

but I'm just really excited about it

and it wouldn't be possible without you guys

so I hope you guys enjoy the stuff that I designed

because I'm in love with it

and I kind of never want to take this bedspread off my bed

cuz I really like it

Anyway I really hope you guys enjoy this back to school video

so without further ado, Bethany is going to stop talking

and.. let's get started!

(still here) so HOT!!!

okay, so first stop I'm gonna show you guys these adorable label notebook for each class that you're in

so I started off with taking a piece of cardstock paper

and then I just traced it out making sure it's the same exact size as the cover of my notebook

now if your notebook has holes like mine does

then you're gonna want to punch some holes into the cardstock paper

and after that, just apply thin layer of mod podge to your notebook and place the paper on top

okay then I found this very thin cork board

that is used for scrapbooking but I thought it went really well with the back to school theme

and then I got this dry erase sticker type of stuff

so basically it's like having a dry erase board on your notebook

and after that I just grabbed another piece of cardstock paper

and put that above the cork board for the label

so obviously you're just gonna put the subject of your class here

Yeah! We did it!!

anyway, I just wanted to say that I really love these notebooks

and I personally have never seen anything like these ones in stores before

so I definitely think they are very unique

and also labeling them just keeps ten of all of your work organized

so it's not all mixed up in one notebook

and of chalkboards are more you think

Dont worry! because I got your back

I start off with taking some tape to tape off the edges of my notebook

and then I just purchase some chalkboard paint from the craft store

and it actually took about from four to five coats

so you have to be a little patient with the drying process

but once it dries

you have this amazing chalkboard literally on your notebook

and then you can decorate it however you would like to

I just went with washi tape because I'm obsessed

and then there you go

all you need is some chalk and you can doodle when you're in your class

I am a huge doodler

and I just love to draw little pictures that make no sense

so, hopefully I'm not alone on that

My pencils are so BORING! (crying)

pattern pencils anyone?

so I'm not even gonna lie, I saw a bunch of these on Pinterest

and I really want to try them out

so all you really do is get some washi tape, ma fav thing ever

and you wrap it around your pencil

and you can also use wrapping paper or duct tape or something like that

and it makes such a big difference

and it literally takes just a few minutes

now I'm always that girl that has to ask someone else for a pen or pencil

cuz I just can't keep track on mine

so if you are like me

then this pencil pouch is gonna help us out

so just grab your scissors

and cut out eighteen by two inches of felt any color of your choice

and we are going to fold one side of that

and we, yes, are going to be sewing

Oh my gosh! look at me

I'm sewing, I'm so proud of me

you guys should be proud of me cuz I never so

so you just sew both of the edges

and then we're going to pick out a cute little button

and sew that on as well

and then all you need to do is cut a button hole on the flap

so obviously you can you know button your pencil pouch

and we are finished!

I can't even tell you guys how many of these are made

because it's kind of addicting

I'm just warning you

or maybe it's just me I don't know

I like sewing buttons okay

so that is it for the DIY school supplies portion of the video

and now, we have the "roomspiration" portion--

alright so one really easy way to keep things organized during back to school season

is these really BIG paper clips

and I got these for about $2.99 at a local craft store

and all I did was paint them with bright neon acrylic paint

they look really awesome especially when you set them on your desk

and you could put reminders or notes or anything like that you prefer

and how cute is this DIY bulletin board

this a great way to organize plans that you might have for the weekend

it also just look really cute on your wall

so I purchased my cork board tile at Joanne's craft store it's around eight dollars

and then what I did is I covered one-half of the cork board

with a really cool material that I already owned

and then the other half I covered with mod podge

and then I took the dry erase paper that I had some earlier

and I put that on the other side

so it's like half white board, half cork board

and then I just decorated with some glitter tape

this is so easy, it's insane

and it looks really really cute

and it's also very helpful for staying organized

now this project is called "the happy jar"

so it's not really about organizing your school work

it's more about organizing your thoughts

because at the end of a long day at school

you might be having a bad day

and what I do is I just write something that make me smile that day

and put it in the jar

and then later on you can look back on all the little things that made you happy :)

and last but not least

coming home to a clean bedroom always puts me in a good mood after a long day

however I don't always keep my room clean

but I like to keep it very colorful

and here is a little sneak peek to my bedroom collection

I will have the link to it below if you guys want to check it out

CHECK IT OUT!

just kidding heehee

and that is about it for this back to school with Beth video

I hope you guys enjoyed it

and give it a thumbs-up it you want to see more

love you guys--
