Here is a great way to get rid of all those unwanted postcards from your crazy relatives whose vacations make you want to scream- or you could preserve that memory of Paris forever- in the form of a notebook! This is also a great way to get rid of any unwanted paper scraps!
-
1
Take the postcard that you want and all of those paper scraps you have lying around. You don't want too much paper otherwise your stapler won't be able to handle it.
You'll also need scissors and a stapler.
-
1
Cut your paper scraps so that they are relatively close in length and would fit inside the height of the postcard.
(Differing lengths can be fun)
-
2
Stack your paper how you want it to be layered.
-
3
Fold your postcard and your stack of papers in half along the width.
-
4
Place your papers inside of the postcard.
-
5
Staple together.
-
6
ALL DONE!!!

(If it's a new card, you can add a "return to:" in the back above the address lines.)

I think this is an awesome idea for using up all your extra paper! I love it! I always have extra paper scraps lying around and I don't want to throw them away and waiting for enough to take to the recycling center just adds so much extra clutter sitting in a box at my house. I think this is very cool. :) From the one in the middle.

Yeah, and double the excitement when your buddy gets a 'postcard' from your vacation spot!

Oooo Love it! I use to collect postcards. I dont anymore and so now they are just collecting a bunch of dust (this is kinda depressing at times cause I have a ton of postcards and dont know what to do with them..) But now I can make them into notebooks! This would make a great present! :P
