Measure a strip of duct tape to the INSIDE of your binder. It's good to start in the inside because then there will be no loose pieces on the outside when you finish. If you have a pocket on the inside measure to the pocket first.

Now we get on to the bigger part of the binder. Take a strip of duct tape and measure it to the rest of the inside.(make sure it overlaps the top an the pocket a little).
Tuck
Tick the remainder of the tape underneath the pocket and wrap the top around to the front.

Do the same all the way down the binder

Do the same thing to the other half of the binder.
Front

The front is probably a little covered already but we will cover it all the way. Take your duct tape and cover the front. If there is extra, make sure you only fold on the TOP not the bottom because then there would be random colors on the pocket.
Copyyyyy

You can use regular pieces for the middle but it makes the binder close wierd. Take a strip as long as the binder and cut it in half. The pics should explain the rest.
Personalize!!

Add your own design to it! It doesn't matter what it is just be creative
The End!
