  • I needed to create a sectioned binder to keep myself organized, and I found a very simple way to make tab dividers out of junk mail window envelopes. The added advantage: being able to switch out the section labels whenever my projects or committee assignments change. I absolutely love it, and have already put the new binder to good use. These tabs have so many other uses, too!

    Love this. I made tags with decorated windows, from envelopes, to place moveable labels in. I took these tags and placed them on our bins in our trailer so we can easily find what we're looking for. If we change or add items in the bins I can just make new labels and not change the whole tag. So far it's working very well. Even my husband likes it. 👍👍🤗

    Anne, this is a great idea! To correct for the lack of thumb notches on your tabs, how about adding a small tab to the top of your "name/title" inserts? Been watching you for a while, wonderful to watch someone in my age range and approximate geographical area (I'm just north of you in Vancouver, WA).

      Hello, neighbor! Thank you so much for watching and commenting - and the suggestion on the tab top is great! I'm about to add another section to that same binder, so I'll do that! Let's get through this upcoming hot stretch and then enjoy a beautiful, rainy PNW fall! So nice to hear from you.

      Thanks, so much, dear Suzy! I actually didn't pull out the metal strips from the hanging folders - I just cut them off! I've tried for years to think of a way to use those darned metal strips and I still have no clue, so into the recycling bin they go! Thanks again, Suzy!
