Sticker Notebook

I previously blogged about my new way to organize my stickers. 
If you missed it, you can find it here.

When I blogged about my organizing, I hadn't prettied it up yet. 
And there were also a flaw in my design.


All my stickers were put in plastic sleeves. 
Nothing wrong here-loving it.





I wanted tab dividers that would stick out past the page protector so I mad these out of 12 x 12 paper.
This was not working for me.  I liked that they were big and cute, but they were not functional.
Problem.

 



The paper was bending and it was difficult to flip from tab to tab.





The three-hole-punch holes were starting to get jacked up.





My solution for all these issues was to laminate the tabs.
(I'm not sure why I took a picture of the Spanish directions?!?)





It's just basically clear contact paper. 
 It's not as sturdy as if you were to use a laminating machine,
 but it's much cheaper and super simple.





I used a ton of contact paper, but it was total worth. 
 No more tab problems.

The other thing I needed to do was to beautify the covers a bit. 
They were way to plain before.




The front covers:
 (book 1)





(book 2)





Both of the sides are the same for the two binders. 
 Simple and labeled.
