Making Crests and Vintage Gear for the School We're Turning Into Our House

We bought our old grade school back in 2021 and have been working on turning it into our home ever since. As we’ve been waiting for the renovations to complete, we’ve been having fun with little projects like these.
I started my shirt-making process by using one of those print-on-demand businesses, but I like these tactics so much more. (And it’s also less expensive in the long run!)
In this video, I share about how I figured out how some different ways to make custom retro gear for this old school that we’re turning into our house. You can find all the products and companies I mention in this blog post!

This channel came up on my KZbin feed and now I’m hooked to see the final result ! I’m so excited for you guys!!! 😁😁✨✨ I wish that they’d do this more often to abandoned schools/ places like this & remaster them ! There’s this abandoned school that’s 32 mins give or take away from where I live and it breaks my heart that they’re doing to demolish it 💔😢 and turn it into a gas station where there’s literally a gas station 2 min drive from where that school is !! 🤨😤😡😡 I wish that abandoned school would be turned into a home !! How neat it would be !! It’s not as big of a school as yours but it’d be a neat home though!! ☹️☹️

[@Schoolhousehomestead]

Thank you so much!! It's definitely stressful refurbishing the school, so thats probably why more people don't do it. 😂❤️

[@mariellazavala72]

@@Schoolhousehomestead probably!!! 😂😂😂 but so so happy you’re doing this for the future of your family !! Can’t wait for the reveal !!! 😁😁😁😁😍😍😍✨✨✨

Definitely a great call making all the swag yourself, now that you have the tools and skills. Canva is a very useful resource. Hope the branding and sales go well!

[@Schoolhousehomestead]

Thank you! We aren't selling anything, but just giving gear away to family and people who've worked on the school and people who ask to join the track club, haha... Just delivered a sweatshirt to my high school English teacher! But Canva is the BEST, I agree!

[@financialphilosophers]

@StacieGrissom understood! Well nice job creating high quality items for friends and family, they look great.

You should sell the gear as merch! I would buy T shirt or a banner!

[@NaeNaeW]

So cool!!! I think you could definitely sell some of the shirts you made, i love ypur designs and logos you put together!! 😍😍

[@RamonVelazquez-w5f]

Well, cool would be to invite Black, Brown, and Native American homeless children to live there for free. Nobody needs 9,000 square feet. And maybe that would serve as an apology for all the children of color that were excluded from attending this segregated symbol of racist hatred that chose to become a barn for pigs rather than become integrated. That would be cool.

Your household is far way more than a normal people would put efforts and money in. Love the merch! also real excited to see the results of your school house!

[@Schoolhousehomestead]

Thank you!!

[@EliseHaynes-s3x]

All so cute!

[@kbnsara]

I hate to be personal, so please excuse, but I’m dying to know the figures. What was the asking price, what you paid for it and a breakdown of what it cost. I so admire you both. No offense to hubby, but you are one smart woman.

[@moparman1962]

You are a cool, good Mommy...but don't tell your kids, let 'em figure it out for themselves. ; )

[@arilehman9723]

Consider making an official school house flag and put a flag pole outside the school.

[@Schoolhousehomestead]

ooo i love that idea!!

[@tamidoty2399]

Where can i buy some of your Union Joint Swag?

[@Schoolhousehomestead]

I haven't sold it anywhere! Just for fun right now. :)
