1. DIY Color Totes: Personalize Your Campus Swag!

Who doesn’t love a unique tote bag? These DIY Color Totes take the classic canvas tote and add a creative twist.

You can even choose custom artwork to make these totes extra special for your campus. Everything is drop-shipped and ready to go, making this a perfect activity for any event.

2. DIY String Art: Bring Art and Design Together

For students who love hands-on projects, our String Art supplies offer a unique blend of art and construction. Each set includes an 8×8 wooden board, nails, a mini hammer, two colors of string, and step-by-step instructions—so no one has to hunt for extra materials. With patterns that range from seasonal themes to general designs, there’s an option for every occasion. DIY supplies on hand like this are an enjoyable way to unwind, be creative, and leave with something display-worthy.

3. DIY Vision Boards: Set Goals and Stay Inspired

Encourage students to visualize their goals and dreams with DIY Vision Boards. Each set provides everything needed to build a board that reflects personal ambitions, whether it’s for career goals, academic milestones, or life aspirations. With inspiration sheets, markers, glue, and a frame, students have everything they need to put their dreams on display. Vision boards can be done solo or in groups, making them a versatile option for goal-setting workshops or relaxation events.

4. Grab, Go, Color!: A Relaxing Coloring Experience

Coloring is a perfect way to relax and unwind, which is why our Grab, Go, Color packages are so popular.

Available in packs of 150, 300, or 450, these packages are a great addition for any campus event, from orientation to team-building sessions. Coloring helps quiet the mind, making this an ideal option for students during busy times.

5. Color Your Own Zlipperz: Cozy Up with Custom Slippers

Zlipperz are a one-of-a-kind experience: cozy slippers with zip-off, interchangeable tops that can be personalized with fabric markers. Each set includes a pair of Zlipper bottoms, a selection of tops, and markers, letting participants mix and match designs or create two completely unique slippers. Available in a range of sizes, Zlipperz are perfect for fun, laid-back events where students can relax, get creative, and keep their custom creations.

6. DIY Tie-Dye T-Shirts: A Classic Campus Favorite

Tie-dye is always a hit, and our Tie-Dye T-Shirt supplies make it simple to set up a station that students will love. Each set comes with 200 preprinted white T-shirts, dyes, gloves, and other essentials—just add water and creativity. This activity is perfect for campus events like homecoming, spirit days, or family weekends, allowing students to leave with a wearable keepsake that reminds them of a fun time.

7. Create-a-Creature: Build Your Own Plush Buddy

Our Create-a-Creature sets bring a unique, hands-on plush-making experience to campus.

Whether it’s for Valentine’s Day, orientation, or homecoming, this program is always a hit and leaves students with a soft, cuddly memory to take home.
