What does back-to-school look like for you? This year is such a different year with hybrid schedules, vast numbers of new homeschoolers, virtual schoolers and those trekking back to public school wearing masks and distancing. One thing that is the same across the board--is the need for good organization.

Step 1. Paint the palette board

Start painting your chosen palette.

I painted the palette board in 3 different colors and left the natural part. Then let it dry.

Step 2. Paint the board

Then place a piece of masking tape on the board to hide where the paint went.

Step 2: Paint the Chalkboard Next put a piece of painters tape across the chalkboard to mask where the paint goes.

Paint the wood, then remove the tape և allow the wood to dry completely.

Then add a few strokes of Treasure Gold paint for a modern look.

Next, add some touches of Treasure Gold paint for a modern look.

These little gold dots are perfect for a touch of gold that looks like an animal. Use paint stains to cover spots that are not so perfect with blue.

These little golden blobs are perfect for a touch of gold, reminiscent of animal print. Use the paint blobs to cover any places in the blue paint that aren't so perfect.

Step 3. Paint the pendant with crystal buttons

Repeat the same process as in the previous crystal buttons. Use masking tape to fasten a piece of wood. Then paint the tree with tea paint. Allow to dry completely.

Step 3: Painting the Hanger with Crystal Knobs Repeat the same process as earlier on the crystal knobs. Use the painters tape to block a section of the wood. Then paint the wood with the teal paint. Let it dry completely.

Then continue painting Treasure Gold as shown.

Next, follow it up with some Treasure Gold paint in the same way as with the chalkboard.

Step 4. Paint the soup bowl

Now paint the soup bowl light blue. Leave to dry, paint one coat.

Step 4: Paint the Soup Can Now paint the soup can with the light blue paint. Let it dry and give it another coat of paint.

Step 5. Assemble the team center

Let's start with the formation of this assignment center. Start by removing the hooks with the pendant with the crystal buttons.

Step 5: Assemble the Command Center Let's get started assembling this command center. Start by removing the hanging hooks on the backside of the hanger with crystal knobs.

Then remove the thread from the cut palette.

Next, remove the twine from the Pallet Sign with Clips.

Take a layer of leather (or small ribbon) or pieces of wood filler.

Get a strip of leather (or some ribbon) and the wood block pieces.

Add a bunch of E6000 glue 20x1 inch to 1x2 board. Add a line of hot glue. The hot glue will keep it immediately, և the E6000 will dry slowly.

On the 1x2 board that is 20-21 inches long, add a bunch of E6000 glue to the top. Also add a line of hot glue. The hot glue will hold it instantly while the E6000 cures slowly.

Place the board with the pallet on the board և mark the pallet. Glue the boards under the surface with hot glue so that they stick well to the wall. Then let the glue dry for 4 hours.

Place the board across the backside of the pallet plaque and the pallet sign. Hot glue the smaller boards on the bottom of the surfaces, so they rest against the wall properly. Then let the glue dry for 4 hours.

Then cover the soup bowl with a leather layer. Use a small piece of glue և hammer և hit one side of it on the pallet board. You can also use hot glue.

Next, attach the soup can with the leather strip. Pound one end of it on the pallet plaque using a small tack and a hammer. Hot glue could also be used.

Then add a layer of hot glue to the soup bowl.

Then add a strip of hot glue onto the soup can.

Then attach the box to the palette and cover it with leather.

Then stick the can to the pallet and wrap the leather around it.

Tie the other side of the leather tightly.

Tack the other side of the leather strip down keeping it pulled tight.

From the palette to the pendant to the crystal buttons with clamps, the 2-inch leather straps are hot glue.

Hot glue 2 inch stripes of leather from the pallet sign with clips to the hanger with crystal knobs.

The hot glue is enough to hold it together, but I added glue for extra strength and appearance.

Step 6. Loosen և Fold the connected board

Now add the hook և curved layer to the palette panel. Place the hook side on the pallet board and the hook / soft side on the board.

Step 6: Hook and Loop Closure Chalkboard Now add a strip of hook and loop to the pallet plaque. Put the hook side on the pallet plaque and the loop/soft side on the chalkboard.

This simplifies the plate without scratching the plastic hooks. The blackboard menu is universal for doing to-do lists, motivational quotes, or writing skills.

This makes the chalkboard comfortable to hold without the plastic hooks scratching. The chalkboard is so versatile for writing menu's, to-do lists, motivational quotes or for practicing writing skills.

Yes, this is the end!

Hang it now և enjoy the super organization.

Make a command center organization station to keep track of everything now that school is in session. What does school look like for you? This station is perfect for all circumstances.

Place the control panel at the entrance, in the hallway or on a table. Organized at home with menus, motivational offers, masks for quick homework, and some office supplies.

Set up the command station in the entryway, mudroom or over the desk. Get organized at home with a menu, motivational quote, mask holder for quick errands out, and some office supplies.

Draw a board from the center of the command to write a letter or work out simple math problems. Make a list of flash cards, letters, or words to remember. Fill an oversized party glass for a contemporary floral arrangement.
