Best Binder Covers

You can show off your amazing personality at school this year with these great binder covers! These binder covers can be as special and unique as you are! Choose your favorite colors, decorations and even pictures to cover your binder with your favorite memories and fun moments. You will need: -Scrapbooking paper (or just plain white paper) -Decorations (we used paper flowers, rhinestones, ribbon and foam soccer balls—you can use whatever you want!) -Photos (if you want) -Markers or pens -Glue -Scissors Directions: 1.Cut the paper to the right size so it can fit in your binder cover. 2.Use whatever decorations you want to express yourself! You can put photos of your family, friends, you or your pet! You can use ribbons, rhinestones, stickers, or draw something! 3.Once you’ve decided on your decorations, arrange them on your paper to see if you like you design. Then begin gluing them to the paper. 4.Here’s a tip: write your name and class on your binder in case you ever lose it—then someone can return it! 5.Once the glue has dried, put into the plastic sleeve on your binder and show all your friends at school how creative you are! For a fun afternoon, get together with your friends and decorate your binders together; you may even get to know new things about your friends!

I’ve made my own binder cover

I’ve made my own binder cover w/ a white sheet of paper & colored it my fave color & colored my name in cursive & put a little sticker on it. I may find a pic of me & tape it on the paper

best binder covers

I think that they’re cool too! though I am an impatient kind of person and have a non-color printer so I am practically forced to make every decoration (or binder cover I have made)zebra striped!

Binders

It is good to get away from home work and school some times so just get some of your friends after school and build a scrapbook or a journal and a binder and don’t forget to have fun… love crstal1539234

I tried it...

It was really nice! Now all my binders look great! Another thing that I did was cut right underneath the seat of an old pair of jeans, (well, not RIGHT underneath, leaving some room around the edgers) and then I cut the top hem thing under the belt. Next, you get some fabric glue, and you open your binder, and glue the access denim around the rim, and you stick it to your binder. There you have a cute denim binder!

No binder. No cool, creative cover.

For some reason, our school doesn’t have binders listed as one of the supplies needed, and our grade is the oldest grade in my schoo! Anyways, school started three weeks ago for me.

decorating binders

In my school, ppl aren’t really that into decorating their binders that much, but alot of kids put stickers on their binder- like the “doctor stickers”- (smilemakers). Also something that really cool is gel markers that can write on binders. You can also use them to write on folders, notebooks, index card boxes, or whatever!

Cool Covers :)

I love these! Who wouldn’t? I have some ideas of what would look cool on it! First, vibrant plain colored paper would look really good. I would put cutouts from magazines and pictures of your friends and family. I would take cool stickers of animals and things that you like and stick them on the scrap-booking paper. You can make letters, write things with sharpies, cut out pictures, glue pictures of you on there, and so many more ideas! Hope you liked my tips! :)

oh yeah first to comment!!!!!!

hey!!!!!!!!!! i did that with my binder for the school year, which sadly is starting in only two days. Well you know the notebooks you get that are just plain, with no decor except for the thing that says five star, or 70 sheet ruled. Well my sister found some cool stickers in the scrap-booking area and decorated her notebooks. they look awesome now, and a lot. You can decorate a lot of things and make them look so much better. :) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s SUPER cool! I guess now on Friday we have craft ideas instead of Friday Funnies. That’s okay but I’ll miss them. Either way I’d love to decorate my binder like that! Great idea!

Cool!

I do this too to personalize and organize the binders I use for school. I like to get creative and use different ways of creating the covers so I can easily tell which binder is for which subject. Also, the personalization makes it fun to look at and less likely to be mistaken as anyone else’s. I’ve even designed some covers for my classmates. Some have even payed me! <3 Steph J.
