There's never a good reason for a 3 ring binder to go to waste if you ask me. No matter what it is you'd like to move onto, there's still got to be some sort of use of a 3 ring binder in your home. First, decide what new use you can find for it. Here are some ideas:
- Personal Cook Book
These are great for organizing your own favorite recipes and it's as simple as a hole puncher! Get your family's best kept secrets and your own hand written ideas together in one binder. Note: If you've got your recipes memorized, this makes for a perfect gift. - Receipts and Bank Statements
Not enough people keep records of their finances. Those people typically wake up one morning wondering where all of their money went. Keep track of your records the easy way by adding some clear 3-ring folders in here and getting in the habit of just depositing everything straight into this binder. - Contact Book
Write down the phone numbers, addresses, and email addresses of all of those close to you and keep them collected in this book.
Of course there are more ideas, be creative! Once you've decided what it is you want to use your binder for, decorate it accordingly. Whatever you do, don't throw it away!
