The One About the Recipe Binder (Part 2)

Remember when I started on making a vintage-themed recipe binder in order to organize all the recipes I have from newspapers, magazines, and the Internet? When I first wrote about it here, I only got this far.



I was able to find the time to get more work into it.

I bought binder dividers to categorize the recipes.

The binder dividers weren't this pretty when I bought them. They were plain and came in generic blue, red, yellow, and green. So I bought some vintage-looking gift wrappers and Mod Podge-d them onto the dividers.

Words to live by...

One gift wrapper was enough to cover only four dividers. I went out to buy more of the same print but I just couldn't resist this print! It's a 1968 Tigger!

I printed the recipes, added pictures and clipart, and placed them in clear sheet protectors.

Now I can't wait to get started on cooking! Haha! Happy crafting -- and cooking!

The One About the Vintage Recipe Binder

Remember my last post when I shared some vintage photos? Well, I took inspiration from those pictures and made this:

I made a vintage-themed recipe binder!

I enjoy cooking and I happen to have loose clippings of recipes from magazines, newspapers, and the internet. I've been wanting to organize them for some time now. I got myself a relatively inexpensive binder and sought out some nice vintage pictures.

This is the cover up close.

Real recipes are on the cover.

I just had to include this picture as it had vintage written all over it!

This is was the original image I got from the internet.

I wasn't too happy with it so I tweaked it to look like this!

I have just finished doing only the cover. I have to work on the contents but, for sure, vintage is the theme that will resonate throughout the whole binder. I'll post more pages soon!

Happy crafting! :)
