It's THAT time of year again. Time to buy cute school supplies that you will ultimately lose or not use. (Aka these binders that I bought for my senior year of high school and hardly touched) Anyways, college is here, and being the preppy DIYer I am, I decided to kill some free time and make binder covers for my various classes.
This method is AWESOME for organization freaks like me, or people on the run that quickly need to stuff their supplies in their backpack. This little DIY insures that you grab the correct one, while being fun and cute at the same time.

Obviously the supplies here are pretty self explanatory.
You'll need:
- Printed Background
(I used these from one of my favorite blogs, or you can use the ones I made below)
- A binder with a clear front pocket
- Colorful Markers
- Stencils
(I got mine at Michael's, but you could just write it on there)
- Ruler
(or you could just wing the letter spacing like I did)

When printing out the background, make sure you check on your print settings that you have the photo "fit to page" not "fit to image". After printing out the background, lay the first stencil and being to color it in -keeping in mind how many letters you need to fit into the space-.
Now that you've seriously tested your patience in getting it to look nice, sit back and look at your handiwork! Slip the binder cover behind the clear pocket and you've got one snazzy binder.
