Blog Planner Binder Revamp

With just a few supplies that you might already have at home, you can turn your old, deteriorated planner binder into a new gorgeous, brag-worthy one. A planner binder revamp is always a good practice so you can have the design you want without spending money on a new one.

Blog Planner Binder Revamp Tutorial

Do you remember my cute and super useful blog planner? If not you can see it HERE.

My blog planner binder had a sun problem LOL. I used to LOVE it when I first bought it but it started to lose color due to being placed near a window most of the time. It was getting very ugly.

So I decided that it was time for a well-deserved revamp =D.

Time and sun can make some damage to our stuff and because of where my desktop is located {in front of a window}, the sun hasn’t been very friendly with my stuff.

Also, to be honest, it’s so nice to change the appearance of things so it feels like we have new ones, isn’t it right?

I used a mix of different techniques for this project trying to make it more long-lasting. We’ll see if it worked in a few months I guess LOL.

Binder Revamp Supplies:

• An old binder
• Wrapping paper or your favorite paper.
• Ribbons
• Mod Podge
• Transparent contact paper
• Hot glue gun

This was my old discolored binder =(. You can see on the edges how deteriorated it was. I was sad because this binder was really pretty and I so love polka-dots.

The first thing I did was cleaning well the binder to remove dust and grease residues. Thought about how I wanted to decorate it. I thought geometric shapes would be fun so I cut triangles.

I started mod podging it but this time I only used the mod podge to glue the wrapping paper to the binder but I did not seal with it. That will be the contact paper’s job!

I started on the front side, with the top-left corner and then moved to the bottom-right one and lastly went for the back side.

I used my scraper to make sure any air bubbles were removed and the paper stayed straight.

When it was all covered with the paper, I glued all the remaining paper in the inside of the folder just like when we cover school texts {sorry the pic came out blurry but you can see what I did}.

Then I covered all the folder with transparent contact paper the exact way I would with a book.

Since I with the triangles I had created a diagonal design with 2 different but coordinated wrapping papers, I used 2 different ribbons to decorate the space between both papers. I glued them with hot glue.

Tadaaaaa… It’s all done and it looks so cute!!!

I’m loving the results and now I have to figure out where to keep it so it won’t get sun-damaged again.

I love my new blog planner binder!!!!
