Question

How do I keep my binder from getting messy?

Community Answer

Clean it out every week. Throw away the stuff that you don't need anymore. Put plastic covers over the front of your binder.

Question

Should I put my essay first and then the divider?

Community Answer

Your divider should go before your essay so that the divider can serve as a barrier between your essay and any other papers in the folder.

Question

Where do I get the paper?

Community Answer

Craft stores such as Michael's usually have construction paper and cardstock for sale. You could probably find some at Target or Walmart as well, in the arts and crafts section.

Question

Looking at making file dividers. Would it be better, if I were sticking the pages together, to stick the dividers between the pages?

Community Answer

You could, but then if you still want to make the pages thicker, you need a double-sided tacky divider. It may stick your hands a little bit, though. Best is wikiHow's solution.

Question

How can I make dividers with pockets?

Community Answer

Stick or staple half a page to either side of the divider. This will serve as pockets within the dividers.
