DIY- Back to school stationary ♡

Hello my lovelies! I know I haven't posted in weeks! I am so sorry! I had to prepare for my birthday which was last Monday! But now I hopefully can post more often. I know I keep saying that but hopefully now I am :P 

Todays post is a DIY! As I am going back to school on Wednesday (uhhhggg), I thought I'd make a post on how to make your school supplies and stationary more pretty and funky, dare I say. :P

What you will need:
Washi Tape
Supplies/ Stationary you want to decorate
Permanent Marker/ Sharpie

Step 1:
Now, in this DIY, I decided to decorate my school pencils and Notebook so it will be on the bases of them, but you can transfer the skills.
So what you need to do is choose your WASHI TAPES!!!!








Step 2:
If you're decorating your pencils/ pens, get your set of pencils/ pens ready.








Step 3:
Get one of your BORING pencils and choose a Washi Tape of your choice.








Step 4:
Start off at the top end (where the rubber is) and line up the Washi Tape so it's taped right at the edge of where the rubber is, as shown in the picture.








Step 5:
In a diagonal motion, start taping the rest of the pencil. It will not work if you don't tape the pencil diagonally because you wont be taping anything! The end result should look something like this...
  







Step 6:
Now do that to all your pencils until they are all done! You should end up with a set of pretty little pencils!








Now this is how to decorate your Notebook! This can take a lot of time, so you have to be patient!
Step 1:
Get your Notebook! (obvs lul) Some of you may think my Notebook looks nice but personally, I think it's a bit boring so I will be decorating it.








Step 2:
Get one of your Washi Tapes and put it on the backstrip of the book (I had to look up what it was called! xD) I'm sorry the quality of this photo is bad by the way, I din't have time to edit any of them :( It looked good on my camera! :P








Step 3:
Turn your book over so it's on its front so you can decorate the back. Get one of your Washi Tapes and Line it round the edges of the back of the book and then fill in the middle.













Step 4:
Turn over to the front of your book and do the same there. If you also want to label your Notebook, you can as well. I put Notes all over it so now I DEFIANTLY know it's for my Notes! xD













I hope this DIY helped you guys! I got a lot of lovely feedback from people on Instagram about my previous DIY which was The Bored Jar so I hope this goes down as well as that did. If any of you would like to follow my Instagram, my name is lemondropsandsilkblog and you can come say Hi and that my blog brought you there. :) I love you all so much!

Love from,
