The first DIY is pretty common, but every binder will come out different. I just made a collage using a mixture of magazine cutouts, pictures off of tumblr and some newspaper. I also added sequins, a few googly eyes and stickers just to mix it up.
This DIY was supper simple and cost me about a dollar. The binder is from Wal-mart and I just used some magazines I found around my house.
The second DIY is a little more out of the box. The idea for this one struck me while watching my dad chop wood for a fire. I took a few of the birch logs my dad had cut and removed the bark. Then I used double sided carpet tape ( it holds really well) to attach the pieces to a piece of card paper. Note** please don't tear the bark off of living birch trees. I would not have done this if the logs weren't already cut. ** This binder is for sure to be one of a kind.
Both of these binders are very cost efficient, original and in my opinion very cute. I bought bother binders at Wal-mart for a dollar and used materials I found around my house ( and campsite) to decorate.
