With school approaching (blech... I don't even like saying it!) I decided to add some pazzaz to old schools supplies. I can only hope that 2 folders and 3 binders is what I am going to need!

Description

With school approaching (blech... I don't even like saying it!) I decided to add some pazzaz to old schools supplies. I can only hope that 2 folders and 3 binders is what I am going to need!

Instructions

  1. There are two options for this: Go through magazines and cut out pictures you want- they can be of people, animals, clothing, or anything that you like! OR, what I did Go online, find anything you want, then print and cut them out! (warning: this uses LOTS of ink and paper!!) I ended up printing about 100 different pictures for my 5 notebooks.

  2. Once you have your clippings all laid out, play around with them. I would start with bigger pictures, then try overlapping a little with smaller ones

  3. Small img 9209 1312065637

    Once you are satisfied with the look use small peices of tape to hold the pictures in place. Then, using large and clear duck tape, slowly cover the entire front strip by strip. be sure to push down and avoid air lumps!

  4. When you are finished sit back and enjoy your work! TIPS: Don't use images that are going to land you in the principals office! Make sure the binder or folder is not upside down before taping!! That would be horrible!
