diy binder!!


this is the story of a plain jane white binder that suddenly found meaning and purpose through the power of diy-ing. i basically just slapped some shoddy cacti on a piece of paper and slid it through the plastic sleeve, but it looks perfect! i was so happy when i found a label that was the same shade of pink as the watercolor background. the label basically says "property of penelope sage, penelope's logic binder." in japanese:)

aside from that, its super easy! i gathered my stationary that i wanted for class,

which consist of sticky notes, to-do lists, note pads, and page flags.

also, some really cute binder clips.

i used the clips to organize my stationary on the insides of my binder, which turned out really nice, if you ask me. its also super easy to re-arrange and switch up:)

then the fun part! i doodled some japanese cartoons and adjectives to describe them in japanese, english, and the romanization. i love this lil guy:))

i just had fun dooodling (for like two hours no lie lol)

i used the faber-castille pens and waterpcolor paints.

this japanese doodles are so cute omg!

then the other side of binder, which is similar to the first one.

this side just has my binder clip, two sets of page flags and my fave pen + korean/japanese notebook.

and as an added touch, i painted my blog name and put it on the binding of the binder.

and thats it!! hopefully you enjoyed:)

also, im abt to take on a bujo! any tips or inspo?
