Back to School Décor Ideas

 

School is slowly closing in on us! Some of us has already started school already. I'm here today with some ideas on how to decorate your school binders and notebooks to motivate yourself to do well in school! I know that for me, I find it easier to enjoy school if I decorate my school materials to my liking. The first ideas that I will be showing you are these binder decors that are super easy and cute to do.

 

• This first one is this yellow binder. I decided to change my normal color picks so I picked up this mustard colored binder. On the front cover, I just simply inserted a drawing I drew over summer. If you don't draw or anything like that, you can just print out a nice picture of your liking and insert it there. I don't like to label my binders just because it makes it more like a job to open my binder up because it just makes it feel too school-like.

 

- To make the divider, I just grabbed some cardstock paper and stickers and put it all together. So, using some black construction paper, I sketched out "math" on a white cardstock, cut it out, and basically just glued it onto the black construction paper. I added some cute stickers to spice it up and just glued it to the big colored cardstock paper. I then added some tape around the divider sign to insure that it won't rip because it hangs outside the binder folds.

 The next one is this purple binder. There really isn't much to it. I just stuck a star-covered blue paper in the front and left it at that. You can design it if you want but I prefer it blank.

 

 

Lastly, a magazine covered notebook!

- To do this, you just need a notebook of your choice (I got a notebook without spirals because I don't really like them) and magazines. If you don't have magazines, you can just print out some pictures. You also need something to glue the pictures onto the cover. This is optional, but ModPodge can be used as the top layer to make everything stick.

 

• Okay, so first of all, you need to lay out your pictures you chose. Here is how I laid mine out. As you can see, I stuck with a black and white theme. 

•  This step isn't necessary if your notebook has no holes or you don't really need the holes. I wanted holes in my notebook so I could put it in my binder so to do this, take the pictures that cover up the holes and basically just mark where the holes are.

• I recommend using a single hole puncher, but this works as well. (I couldn't find my single hole puncher so I had to use the 3-ring one)

• When you finish, you should have something like this. Simply glue it onto the cover and if you have ModPodge, apply a layer on the top to make sure it lasts you the school year. (I couldn't find my ModPodge so it's not in the pictures.)

 

These are all my ideas on binders and notebooks! You can switch it up and be creative with it! These are simple ideas, but it can really help you be more motivated during school. I wish the best for you all in school!
