Recycled Notebook

I used recycled notebooks during my high school days. Not that my parents can’t afford, I just opted to used recycled notebook.

My sister, a preschool teacher then, had many used workbooks with no prints at the back of each page. So what I did, I cut the workbooks crosswise, covered with newspaper or old magazine.

I’m not bothered using the recycled notebook. My teachers even appreciated it. If only I knew back then that there’s blogging, then I probably take a pic of it. LOL

Classes had just started. I’m encouraging my nieces to use recycled notebooks. But they hate my idea…. not until they saw my output

So here’s what I did……

Goldilocks Box for the cover:

Not that I’m a big fan of Goldilocks. It’s just that the cakes we usually order are Goldilocks.

Look at the square hole in the middle. I have a pretty idea for this.

At the back of the box, the figure says “RECYCLE

Few scratch papers from our office

Size is A4 so I cut into half

And come up with these beautiful recycled notebooks.

I purposely save the hole for the front cover of notebook, so that kids can insert picture.

My niece love it…. and plan to insert Justin Beiber’s pic…. I honestly hate her idea… LOL

This is a great idea. I haven't heard of Goldilocks but the folders came out really nice. When I was in high school I always covered my books with paper bags that I cut to fit my books. They always looked really nice and held up very well during the year.

I'll give you a stumble - thanks from Family Literacy! BTW, the books are available on Amazon. =D Tina

my kids snubbed my recycled notes w/c i would always do using leftover pages from the previous sch year's class. nonetheless, i use them them as test notes for my grade 2 kid.

your's could pass up as new notebooks.
