these could totally be fun, functional DIY projects. Although, these look really nice and finished, which never happens with my DIY projects.

I like them, but the lunch bag can stay behind. Its why i always kept my lunch in my locker, so i didnt have to worry about theft or sporting "moldy" bags.
the vase would be perfect to prevent my kitty from trying to destroy the flowers.

The vase frame in particular is cute, but I agree with AdamWA that these could all probably be DIY.

Just go to pbteens.com and you can buy a white picture frame with a built in shelf for $49.00, or just d.i.y. it as some have already suggested.
