Padded Binder "
 

graphic - glue gun, inside cover cardboard and girl with book
  1. Put a line of glue on one edge of the binder with the glue gun. Pull the material over and attach it to the binder.

  2. Repeat this for each side. It is best to do only a small section at a time because your glue will cool down and it won't stick.

  3. You can cover the inside cover. Cut a piece of light cardboard or Bristol board (cereal boxes work well too) so that it is large enough to cover the inside cover.

  4. Now cut a piece of material that is a bit larger than the cardboard. Use the glue gun to glue the material to the cardboard.

  5. Now glue the covered cardboard to the inside front cover. Repeat this for the back cover.

  6. Put your page protectors in the binder.

  7. Your project is now complete and ready to fill!
You can use these padded keepsake books for many things:
  • Baby books
  • School books to keep report cards, journals, school pictures, and projects
  • Family photo albums
  • Christmas or birthday albums to keep letters to Santa, artwork done at the special times and photos of your child
  • Journals
