Some school supplies you can easily do it yourself - you only need patience and a little imagination. The child together with you can have an exciting time in the creative process. In addition, the student will have exclusive stationery, which will surely arouse admiration among peers.

For parents, this is a great way to save money - pencil cases, coasters and covers are now quite expensive in stores, and their creation from improvised materials will cost much less. In this article, you will find some step-by-step instructions for creating DIY stationery.

DIY pencil case

With due perseverance, you can make a beautiful school pencil case. It is better if the house has a sewing machine - with the help of adults, a child can make only a few seams on it, and a stylish pencil case will be ready. However, if there is no machine, you can make a few stitches on your hands, fasten the parts of the pencil case with ribbons, buttons or a stapler. Consider how you can make a pencil case:

• First, choose the material for the pencil case. Any dense fabric, leather or leatherette, felt or nubuck will do. Surely you have old unnecessary clothes or shoes that can be given a second life. A pencil case does not require much material at all - count your pencils and pens and determine how much space they will need.
• The easiest option is a pencil case. It resembles a small bag in which all accessories will be placed. This model is suitable if you do not have too many necessary accessories, otherwise the child will constantly get confused in them. Making such a pencil case is simple - fold a square or rectangular piece of material in half, sweep the edges if necessary. Then make two seams on the sides or tightly fasten the material with a stapler. One side should be left open. You can make several holes on it and fasten it with buttons or beautiful ribbons.
• If there are a lot of accessories, separate pockets should be made in the pencil case. Such a pencil case should be a little wider - you can make it according to the format of a notebook by folding the material in half or three times. Finish the edges and figure out how you will close the pencil case - thread a ribbon or sew on a button. Then make pockets inside the pencil case. They can be arranged by bending the lower edge of the pencil case inward and making several vertical lines on a typewriter in different places. You can carefully sew the pockets by hand with colored threads. If there is not enough material, pockets should be made overhead from another fabric - this will only make the design more interesting.
• Any pencil case can be further decorated. This will be especially interesting for girls - they can stick rhinestones on it, sew on beads or make flowers from the remnants of the fabric.

DIY notebook

You can make an unusual notebook on your own with a child. For Russian or mathematics lessons, you can use unused sheets from old notebooks, and if the subject does not require compliance with rulers and cells, a notebook can be made from ordinary A4 sheets. The technology is very simple:

• Choose what sheets you are going to make a notebook from. The paper must be the same size.
• If these are A4 sheets, fold all of these sheets in half. In the middle they should be fastened with two seams or a stapler. If you have A5 paper, then you should not bend it - just fold it in a pile and also fasten or sew along the left edge.
• The most creative process is the creation of the cover. The child will certainly be interested in doing design on their own. Before starting, evaluate the size of the notebook - if it is thin, an A4 sheet is enough for the cover. If the notebook is thick, the cover should be slightly longer.
• The basis of the cover should be made of flexible thin cardboard - so the notebook will be durable and easy to use. It can be decorated in different ways. For example, the cover will look good if you paste over it with gift paper. You can decorate it with applique, pieces of fabric, beads and ribbons.
• Attach the cover to the notebook with a stapler or thread.

DIY notebook cover

Schools now require notebooks and textbooks to be wrapped in additional covers. Indeed, children do not always take care of their belongings, and over the course of an entire school year, they can get frayed or torn. For this purpose, the covers of their polyethylene are sold in stationery stores. You can do similar things with your own hands. The easiest option is to make a cover from a transparent bag, simply wrapping it around the book and securing the cover with a stapler in the right places. However, you can also make a really beautiful and interesting cover - for example, from polyethylene or artificial leather. It is very easy:

• Cut out a rectangular piece of the material you like. It should be 1cm wide. more height books, and in length - 5-6 cm more than the spread of the book. These allowances are needed to wrap the book and hold the cover together.
• Put an open book on the cover. Fold the leather or oilcloth over on both sides so that they wrap around the edges of the cover. You can fasten the edges on top with a stapler, but it is best to make several seams.
• The cover can be decorated in different ways. For example, you can attach a pocket of the same material to it, make a beautiful signature, glue bows from ribbons, appliqués or beads.

Do-it-yourself book or tablet stand

Working with a textbook is much more convenient if it is located on a special stand. It is also now increasingly common for middle and high school students to use tablets in school for reading, creating presentations or taking notes. You can make a convenient multifunctional stand for both a tablet and a book with your own hands using thick wire:

• Take the wire. It should bend easily under force, but not bend itself under weight.
• Usually stands are arranged as follows - they have a narrow support at the back and two diverging supports at the front, on which a tablet or book is placed.
• Bend the wire into an elongated semicircle and pull it back.
• Take the two ends of the wire and bend them into a triangle so that one corner goes up. So you prepare a place for a tablet or book.
• Bend both ends in a semicircle parallel to the table surface.
• Pull the tips back behind a narrow support and make a neat knot on it.

From improvised materials you can make interesting, convenient and simple school supplies. This will help you save a lot when collecting your child for school. In addition, you will surely enjoy the process of co-creation, and as a result, you will make unique accessories that no one else at school will have.

In all regions of the country, schoolchildren are considered a special category of Russian residents. In order to help the student's parents cope with paying for education, uniforms, textbooks, stationery and other items, the authorities are trying to reduce the financial burden in any way. So, many children are forced to get to a general education institution for public transport, sometimes also with transfers, and bus tickets become more expensive several times during the year. In this regard, the regional authorities and the Ministry of Education enter into agreements with carriers and issue travel cards to children. This benefit is designed to save the family money. Let's find out where to get a school pass.

What is a ticket, types of tickets

A travel ticket is a document that legally allows you not to pay money for using public transport services at all or to receive a discount on travel. Travel cards can also be issued to general students. educational institutions subject to the use of municipal transport, not private (commercial buses, fixed-route taxis).

The regional authorities oversee the issuance and sale of travel cards. It is for this reason that the conditions of receipt, use, price, the amount of the discount when buying a ticket and other procedures may vary significantly. Up-to-date information about the listed conditions must be provided to parents by the principal, or his secretary. You can also call the Department of Public Transportation or the Ministry of Education. There are 2 types of tickets:

1. Allowing you to use the travel concession using the services of several types of urban transport at once. Such a document is especially useful when the student is forced to make transfers and cannot wait for the desired mode of transport.
2. Allowing you to travel on preferential terms only on one type of transport. Such travel cards can be sold by the subway, tram depots, bus fleets.

The cost of such tickets, of course, is different. Therefore, in order to save money, it is advisable to assess whether it is really worth overpaying for a “universal” travel pass.

How does the student pass work?

The student travel card is valid only during the period of attending classes. The duration of the action is set by the regional authorities. As a rule, this is 1.09 - 15.06.

From a financial point of view, public transport tickets can also be divided into categories:

1. Standard "cards" calculated for a month of using public transport services at a reduced fare.
2. Electronic cards(usually provided free of charge). Named so that no one else can use them. Parents must regularly replenish such a pass, otherwise the next time the balance will not be enough to pay for the fare. To use such a pass, you need to take a bus equipped with a validator, and for many cities this is still a luxury.
3. Free for special categories of students such as orphans and other schoolchildren who are in public care.

Where to get a travel card for a student, what documents are needed

When issuing a travel ticket for a student, it will be necessary to write an application at special points and a cash desk, a list of which can be obtained from the director of the school where the child is studying. Also, the secretary will need to obtain a certificate of the child's education in this institution. It must contain:

• the wording “Dan, to Petr Petrovich Petrov, in that he is a student of the 8th “B” class of the “Secondary School No. 1”,
• surname, name, patronymic of the student,
• legal school address;
• bank details of the educational institution,
• administration signature,
• institution seal.

It is better to prepare in advance also other documents, ready-made may be needed when issuing a travel card:

• student card with a photo and data about the educational institution;
• photocopy of birth certificate (children under 14 years old) or passport (over 14 years old);
• compulsory medical insurance policy;
• insurance certificate of compulsory pension insurance (SNILS);
• passport of the parent or legal representative;
• photo 3x4 (in paper or electronic form).

Common Mistakes

Error: A student tries to use a travel card during the period summer holidays.

Students of general educational institutions are a special category of citizens. The state is trying to support children and their parents with special measures to make education accessible. One of these measures is the issuance of travel cards for schoolchildren.

Many have to travel to school by public transport: a suitable educational institution often located in a remote area. Often with transfers. Travel expenses reduce the family budget, already suffering from textbook purchases, school uniform and office.

The Ministry of Education and regional authorities, cooperating with carriers, organize the issuance of travel cards so that parents can save on the child's travel to school, section and back home. With regular use of benefits, a decent amount remains in the family budget.

What is a school pass

Travel tickets are documents that give their holder the right to pay for travel in public transport at a discount or ride it for free. They are given to all students. Benefits do not apply to trips with private carriers (for example, fixed-route taxis).

The sale and issue of travel cards for schoolchildren is regulated by regional legislation. Therefore, in different regions, the conditions for obtaining and using, the cost, the size of the discount on travel and other nuances can vary greatly from each other.

Tip: For up-to-date and up-to-date information on the effect of benefits in the region, contact the school administration. The secretary will tell you what the child is entitled to and how to get it. Two more options are to contact the hotline of the Ministry of Education or the public transport organization of the city.

Travel cards can be divided into 2 types:

1. Giving the right to preferential travel on several types of public transport. This is useful when the child travels around the city a lot with transfers.
2. Giving the right to travel with a privilege on 1 type of public transport. Bus companies, tram depots or the subway issue their travel cards.

When choosing a school pass, you need to analyze how many modes of transport and how often the child uses. Sometimes it makes no sense to buy a general travel card if the student only travels by metro, and travels by bus a couple of times a month.

How does the pass work?

Travel cards differ from a financial point of view:

1. Free, intended for schoolchildren who belong to "special categories of citizens." For example, these are orphans: they travel by public transport for free, because they are fully supported by the state.
2. Electronic cards, which are usually issued free of charge. They need to be replenished on their own so that the account has enough money to pay. The only drawback of electronic travel cards is that urban transport must be equipped with modern validators that can read card data. Large cities can boast of such innovations.
3. Standard travel card for a month with trips at a discount. It is gradually being phased out and is being replaced by an electronic version.

Any type of travel card for schoolchildren is valid only during the school year. Its scope is established by the legislation of the region. The usual grace period for school students is from 1 September to 15 June.

The issued electronic cards are nominal. Pass them on to friends or use someone else's. A photograph of the child is placed on the preferential travel or accompanying document in order to exclude fraud.

Examples of travel cards in the regions

Although the regional rules for obtaining and using school passes differ, they have a lot in common:

1. "Student Social Card" (Moscow) - multifunctional a plastic card which appeared in 2014. In addition to preferential travel, you need to make an appointment with a doctor, pay for meals in the canteen and purchases. All schoolchildren studying in institutions in Moscow can receive it. The place of residence does not matter. Parents put money on the card, which the child uses to pay for the road. A trip to the metro for 1 month costs 380 rubles, and on land transport - 250 rubles.
2. Oriole (Tver). Electronic card with 3 tariffs: "Single" - 580 rubles; for 2 types of transport - 475 rubles; for 1 type of transport - 285 rubles. Prices for 1 month.
3. With "Student transport card" ( Nizhny Novgorod) you can ride buses, trams, trolleybuses and the metro for free for 920 rubles a month. The choice of one of these modes of transport will cost 500 rubles.
4. The cost of a reduced fare for a single student ticket in St. Petersburg is 515 rubles.

In all major cities of Russia, travel passes have been introduced that are valid for several types of transport, so that it is more convenient for a student to move around the city and save money.

How to get a school pass

The ticket is sold at special points or ticket offices. Before that, you need to take care of the collection required documents. Their list by region can vary greatly.

But everywhere a certificate from the place of study, drawn up in a generally accepted format, is required. It is obtained from the secretariat of the school. The certificate requires:

• Full name of the student;
• legal address of the educational institution;
• bank details of the institution;
• school principal's signature;
• stamp seal.

If the document does not meet these requirements, then the place of issue of the travel card will be refused. You will have to go to the secretariat again and draw up a new certificate.

You may also need:

1. Photocopy of birth certificate or passport;
2. CHI policy;
3. SNILS card;
4. Passport of one of the parents or guardians;
5. A photograph of the child in printed or electronic form (depending on the method of printing the travel card) 3 × 4 cm in size.
6. Sometimes you need a valid student ID with a photo and information from the school. Usually it is required in small cities that do not have the technical capabilities to introduce electronic cards. Their residents use standard cards without a photo, in which only the name of the owner is indicated. A student card with a photo is required for the child to prove their identity.

Not having a student card is not a problem. It can be issued in a few days at the school office. You need to buy the ticket form in advance and take a photo “on the student’s”. In the office they will paste a picture, put a signature and official seal of the institution. The student card is valid for 1 year, and then it can be extended until graduation.

In some regions, it is strictly stipulated that the presence of a student when submitting documents is mandatory. The term for issuing a travel card will take 14-30 days, so it is recommended to take care of its purchase in time.

How to use

A student with a travel card uses the types of transport for which the validity of the document is extended free of charge. On others, he will have to pay the full price of the ticket.

If the transport is equipped with a special device that reads the data of an electronic card, then it is enough to attach it to the validator. In transport with a conductor, you need to show a travel card and, if asked, a student card with a photo.

Tip: It is important not to miss the time of the next payment and put money on the card. Even if you miss only 1 day of payment for the next month, the child will not be able to leave for school and will miss lessons.

An electronic card issued for 1 year can be extended without reissuing a new one. You need to take a certificate from the school that the child continues to study, and again come to the ticket office.

Of course, children actively lose travel cards. E-card is easy to recover. If a child reported missing, you need to:

• call the customer service number of the company that issued the card and ask to block the loss;
• come to the point of issue and write an application;
• pay for the issue new card(usually 100 rubles);
• get a temporary travel card;
• get a new electronic card after a while.

Old information, balance and already paid services will be saved.

In addition to receiving a ticket for urban public transport, a child can enjoy benefits for the purchase of railway and air tickets. Schoolchildren are also entitled to a discount on visiting museums, theaters and other cultural and educational institutions. To receive benefits, you need to present a student card or a certificate drawn up in accordance with all the rules.
