It's about that time to start receiving all of those random papers from school. I never know where to keep them without losing them, but also turn them in on time.
Then one day I saw a lady say something about this thing she has hanging on her fridge for school papers. This wasn't it exactly, but it looked something like this.
I thought that would be perfect, but didn't really want to spend $30 on it. It also was a little bulky for me.
So I put something together that I think will work for me. And it was free! Well, I already had the folders that I bought for 20 cents a piece once upon a time, so that's about as close as you get to free.
I turned folders on their sides with the opening pointed upwards. I stacked one folder on top of the other scooting it down a few inches and then taped the sides. Stacked the next one on top and taped all of those sides together...and so on. I turned them over and put some stick on magnets and that's it.
I stuck some papers in the folders to see how it worked and I think I'm going to like it. We'll see pretty soon.
Then as I was hanging it on my fridge I got the idea that it might just work as a whiteboard too. It does!
My folders were the really slick kind, so you would just have to test your own folders out to see if it works.
I already had a calendar on my fridge and thought I could put it on here instead. I tested it out for a month and realized I liked being able to flip to the other months. Now I use the front of the folders as a place for notes and randomness. Either way, it's great!
