First of all...a little new: I GOT ACCEPTED INTO WATERLOO HEALTH SCIENCES, CO-OP!!!! Amazing! It's not even conditional and its very early. I'm very very happy and motivated to continue earning outstanding grades and I'll continue being involved in the community and school work!
Today I wanted to try something new - a DYI. I'm not super crafty, but dividers is something you always need. I will share with you a step by step process outlining the creation of binder dividers. I was inspired by the dividers I recently got at Staples, so keep in mind, that you should totally go creative with your dividers in terms of the way of creating and decorating it!
This is what I was inspired by:
1. Prepare multiple hole-punched pieces of thick paper
2. Create a table of contents. It might refer to different subjects, topics of units; whatever you'd like. In your table of contents, you should colour-code, like the original Staples dividers did
3. Draw a line with a little protrusion which you are going to cut
4. Cut following the line
5. Colour in the protrusion and the corresponding side with the colour of your choice
6. Label the protrusion with a number/topic/unit/month/week etc. which best fits your table of contents
7. Repeat with different colours featuring whatever the table of contents covers
And now we're done. Here is what I wanted to add:
1. Since each divider looks overall kind of empty, it would be a good idea to either draw on it, write the course overview, summary of the topic etc.
2. Also, it would look much more professional if the entire thing would be typed, printed and then cut out, unless you are not like me and actually have some craft skills ;)
3. You may also want to laminate them if you feel like it, so they would be a bit more durable
The best of luck!
