Back-to-School Planner

My teenaged daughter loves getting a date calendar with each new school year.  We purchased one with a cute pattern on the front, but she always likes to pizazz up her school supplies!  This is what we came up with:

To begin, we started with a spiral bound planner, the DIY Cream Dahlias, chalk and some matching ribbon:

We tied pieces of knotted ribbons onto every third spiral.  Next, chalk and a chenille pom pom applicator were used to add color to the dahlias to match the planner cover.

With chalks, you can add various shades from a color family to achieve depth as desired.

Fabric glue was used to attach the flowers to the center of the knotted ribbons.

This project is so quick to put together!  It also makes a great back-to-school gift for a teacher or best friend!
