Back to Basics: Capture Your Ideas

Does this sound familiar? You’re slowly drifting off to sleep when you come up with a great line for the song or paper you’ve been working on all day.

The Dirt Cheap Milk Container binding system

This is a simple binding hack from Judy Of The Woods. She’s made up a very, very cheap alternative to those clip-in binder notebooks that Circa and Rollabind make.

The system revolves around making binding loops from the container plastic with larger heads at each end. Also you’ll need to cut slits outward from your hole punches to insert and remove pages. The results look great, plus the customizations are endless… » Continue
