I have been having a fun time taking old hardcover books and making organizers from scraps. They can be used for just about anything…photos, mail, coupons, recipes etc. I have been making them for everyone. They are really fun and go very quickly. Please enjoy the photos!
Here is a look at one I made as a birthday gift for a friend. For this one, I covered the inside cover with paper and then hand cut the flowers from another piece of scrapbook paper and glued those down:
Here is the same book as a close up:
Here is a photo of one my hubby keeps on his desk. For this one, I just used paper to cover the inside covers:
Here is another view, as you can see he is already using it for his coupons for McDonalds:
Just fold the pages in half and decorate the inside of covers. The book will always stay open, so there is no need to decorate the outside covers.
What a fun and decorative idea, love it! Wondered where you have been lately.

ReplyDeletexoxo a queen bee fan, Rena
Queen Bee! I LOVE the new look of your blog--it's amazing! I also had to have a peek at your studio space. It's glorious! My daughter (The Little White Attic) and I have a theory that scrapbookers maintain the neatest spaces. Your's proves that. Even in my space at its absolutely chaotic worst the scrapbook stuff was mostly organized. Come by and see me. And can I just say..."You've come a long way, Baby!"
ReplyDeleteYou're so clever, Deb! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteQueen Bee, this is a wonderful idea! I have lots of old textbooks that would make delightful organizers for my kith and kin for Christmas. Thanks for sharing. I don't see you in the challenges now. I hope you are doing well.
