It's that time of year for buying back-to-school supplies. Today, I'm showing you a fun way to personalize a notebook for your kids for the new school year.

You can make this custom binder in no time with just a couple of easy steps. All you need is a tab punch, a paper trimmer, and some pretty sheets of patterned paper.

Simply punch out your tabs and label them with different school subjects. I used the Oh Darling collection for this notebook.

Next, create divider pages for each section of your notebook. Cut down patterned paper to size (in my notebook, they are 8" x 10.5").

Then attach the tabs directly to the dividers, staggering them as you go. You can attach the tabs with tape, glue or staples.

To add some color, I used different patterns of paper for each divider page. You could also place reference materials on each class divider, for instance placing a periodic table on your science divider.
