Office scrap paper |
This is what I had at work the other day. These sheets of paper contain data that I turn into reports. Once I am done with them, they go into the recycle bin. I get this much about every four weeks. During a couple of slow days during the holidays, I chopped a bunch of them into quarters to use as scrap paper at my desk.....but then I thought I would take it a couple steps farther with my
Bind-it-All!

Trimmed into quarters |
First I raided my stash of random
Zutter Owire. I have loads of bits and pieces and different colors that I save for projects such as this! I also pulled out scrap cardboard that sits in a pile alongside my craft table. Since the scrap pieces of paper measure 5.5" X 4.25", I used my
Zutter Kutter to trim the cardboard to 6" X 4.75". Along with the bits and pieces of patterned paper and letter stickers I save, plus a bucket of random embellishments, I made a bunch of scrap paper note pads for my office mates.

Scrap paper, stickers and embellishment made up the rest! |
Admittedly, these are NOT fancy - they are not meant to be. They are made with the backsides of old emails and reports with random office information. The cardboard may be tattered or bent a bit, and the stickers or paper mis-matched. I know my office mates with still love 'em and use 'em! Just remember that with your
Bind-it-All you don't have to start with fancy supplies. Look around at what you have and make something special with it. Recycling and Reusing is highly recommended!
Happy New Year!
