The coolest invention since sliced bread

Well I might have recently discovered something. It might be one of the coolest things ever and I can't believe that I didn't know it existed until like literally yesterday. 

Office Depot, or most local printing or office supply stores, can SPIRAL BIND things for you.

And it is so cool!

I had them bind one thing for me, just kind of as a test run to see if I liked it (that is the public speaking one) and I LOVED it. So I didn't waste any time going back to Office Depot and having them spiral bind 2 other things for me. 

I am now the proud owner of these 3 gorgeous spiral bound items. 

But the first one that I got made is the one that I would really like to go into detail about with y'all. Which is this lovely:

 I had heard of spiral binding things but I had never had one done so I wanted to do a trial to see how it worked. That is how I ended up binding all the documents for my speech class. And I bet that you would all like a peek into this pretty book.

First off I had this bound with a clear cover, white binding, and white back. And it was under 5 dollars! Such a steal for my own customized public speaking book! I made the cover page which you see in the first picture, and then I also had them cut some file folders in half and bind them in as tabs between the different sections of my book.

Section 1: Course Outline and Syllabus

This section houses all the important documents for my class. Eveything from my class syllabus to a due date list, and even important paper that the professor had for us to print off.

 Section 2: Calendar and To do List

This section basically has a calendar printable that I found online along with some to do lists so that I would have a predetermined place to write down things that I needed to accomplish for my class.

Section 3: Notes

What I did here was take all the notes that I had already taken by hand and had them copied on to printer paper so that they would be the same size of the rest of the pages in my notebook. Then I also had a bunch of blank lined printer paper added so that I had an additional place to continue taking notes.

Now on thing that I did add that is not pictured is that on my nice little divider tabs I took my label maker and added labels so that I could know which section was which.

So there you have it! A simple and inexpensive way to customize school material, or just have things bound in general. The other two things that I had bound was my script for the play that I was in (which makes it a hundred times easier to work with vs. a folder or binder), and the other is a book that I need to reference for a class once.

Now tell me, what do you want to have spiral bound?
