Ring Binders

When I'm at the flea market, I also look for various ring binders, preferably A5 and smaller sizes.
They should preferably not be ruined or with swayed backs nor destroyed by moisture.
It doesn't matter if there are images, text, or nothing at all on the front and back covers because I cover them up.

In each ring binder, I placed an elastic solidly in the back cover so it can be kept together if I include too much material in it.

So here are pictures of three different ring binder I made more beautiful and decorative :)

Idea To Keep Bees Away

My husband and daughter love these Pringles tube chips, you can use the tube to keep your child's beautiful drawings in or she/he can transfer her/his drawings in the school bag between home and school.

Remember to clean the tube well first before using it.

But on top of these tubes is a plastic lid, this one can be remove and washed clean and used as a lid for your lemonade glass and avoid any bees and everything else falls into it.

And voila, your lemonade glass is secured against unpleasant surprises.

The size fits many kinds of glasses, this one is a mustard glass I washed clean to use.

Idea To Paint Holder

Freya gets milk at school every day and these little cartons have a plastic screw cap.

She gets many of the others lid so we now have a bit of a collection of many colors :)

These lids can be used for many things, but we use them mainly to hold paint in a proper dosage and it does not flow into the other colors or out on the table.

Idea For a Water Cup

When we buy liquid washing powder there usually follows a dosing cup with it, it's limited how many you need when you wash clothes and quickly there are lots of them in surplus.

They have a really nice size and stands firmly on the table, so we use them as water cups when we paint with watercolor or other water-based paint.

Don't throw it out

Another sample on my stinkyness :D
With the new Martha Stewart punch, Floral Lace, the punch waste usually has dots but this one has besides dots some really sweet and cute doodles I can use another time on :D

Nothing Goes to Waste

When I use paper, carton, design paper or whatever paper/carton I use I can't throw out small pieces there could be used somehow :D

So I punches out various things of them even the tinyest cirkel is coming out of it before it's been thrown out, and believe me when it's thrown out nothing else can be punched or cut from it :)

That way I always have a cirkel, a square or whatever I need for the project I am doing and in the color I wished for :)

If there are eg too many cirkles I can't use up in the nearest future I gather them together and make beautiful flowers from them and decorate them with glitter glue, gems and/or brads so they look great and that way I always have a flower for a project when I need one :D

Just a little example on my stinkyness :D
