Instructions

  1. Small 2019 04 04 222103 birthday%2bbinder%2b2

    Begin by creating your monthly birthday tracker. Use a google doc or other word processing program to create your monthly tracking sheet.

  2. Gather coordinating scrapbook paper. For each month you will need a full 8 1/2 X 11 sheet and one that is cut in half to be 8 1/2 X 5 1/2. You can also use small scraps to label each pouch with the month. You can practice your hand lettering, or simply print off the months in a fancy font. Adhere them to the 1/2 sheets of scrapbook paper.

    Insert both your half sheet and full sheet of scrapbook paper into a sheet protector. With scissors, cut close to each side until you reach the 1/2 sheet of paper. Then simply fold the protector between the two papers to create a pocket.

  4. Repeat with each month and then insert the birthday tracking sheets.
