Here’s a great upcycling project for back-to-school fun.
Over the summer, your child has certainly grown out of a favorite tee. There is another use for that perfectly worn-in shirt. Use it to turn an old, boring binder into a personalized, one-of-a-kind piece that your child will love.
The best part is that whatever old t-shirt you have, it will be age appropriate. Little ones will have flowers, stripes and fun cartoon characters, and older teens will have funky skateboard logos, superheroes and whatever else piques their current interests.
To make your binder cover:
Lay your binder flat and cut a piece of fabric about an inch larger than the binder. Glue or spray mount the fabric to the outside of the binder and fold over the raw edges.
Glue a piece of pretty scrapbook paper or card stock to the insides, covering the raw fabric edges. Consider choosing scrap corrugated cardboard just to mix things up a bit. You can also add string, wrapped around the cardboard so your child can tuck in notes, personal photos or clippings. An added bonus is the thickness of the cardboard which will add durability.
Voila!
