The Fab Gab: School Pencil Case Organization

So first, you want a small pencil case that you will carry around with you to all your classes. This one is the new Brush and Pencil in Island Blooms from Vera Bradley. The new one is much bigger than the old small one so be sure your not buying from the "Sale" or "Retired" section because then it is not as big and for me I need mine bigger than the old one. This is the perfect size. I keep it in the side pocket on the outside of my school bag.

Then, you will need a larger one I call a "back-up" I used to use this one as my carry-around-with-me pencil case but it is soo huge it is too much to handle. It barely fits in my backpack with all my other books. This is the Trip Kit in Watercolor from Vera Bradley. The Trip Kit style is retired so it is on sale in all the patterns. Keep this in your locker, or if you don't have one (like me, because I go to a private school) in your desk.

In your back-up get a bunch of pens, pencils, and other school supplies and separate them into groups like pens, pencils, other. Tie the groups together with a rubber band. So I have all my pens tied together and all my pencils tied together and my other stuff tied together in little separate groups. I keep 3 hand sanitizers from Bath and Body Works in here in case my one in the main pencil case runs out. I keep pens in every color except pink in here, 4 mechanical pencils and 2 manual pencils, a highighter, come spare led, lotion, hand sani, a protractor, a 6 inch ruler, and a little emergency kit all in here.

In your main, don't separate into groups because there is not as much space. You don't need to anyways because it is small and easy to find things. In here I keep my homework passes and reward tickets, one hand sani, one 6 inch ruler, two red pens [one good one for me and a junky one for people to borrow], 4 manual pencils, 3 mechanical pencils [two good ones which are my Vera Bradley one and my Paper Mate metal one and a junky one], two black pens [one good one which is Vera Bradley and one junky one], two liquid highlighters [pink of course], one small case of led, two pink pens [one gel, one ballpoint], an Expo [dry-erase] marker, a small gluestick, scissors, a flash drive [USB drive], and an eraser. See how much this little guy fits?
