School and desk

DIY ideas for school and studying

Check out our fun DIY ideas for school and your desk at home. You can copy them in next to no time using the simplest of materials: bookmarks made from paper clips, a notepad jazzed up with a cool design, and lots more. We’ve even got some lovely ideas for those just starting out in school. For example, in Germany it's traditional for children on their first day at school to be given a cone filled with small gifts and sweets to take to school. And, naturally, the best type of cone is one that’s been made by hand. Use our edding products to transform a school cone into a memorable gift.
