"Mini" Sheet Protectors???

irishjc820 · 11-16-2004, 09:49 AM

I don't know if anyone can help me because I don't know if this product even exists, but I figured it's worth a try! So many of you inspired me to start cataloging my stamp sets using a binder, so I went out and bought one, but not a regular size one - this is like 8.5" by 5.5" or something like that. Has anyone ever seen sheet protectors for this size binder? The guy I asked in Office Max said he thought they existed, but they didn't carry any in their store and I couldn't find any on their website.

I got the smaller binder rather than a regular size on because I'm very **** - I have some very small stamp sets, like Itty Bitty Borders, and I dind't want them to get lost on a big 8.5 " by 11" sheet of paper. I also didn't want to put two sets on one sheet because I want the freedom to rearrange how I organize the sheets if I choose to - I told you, I have a problem!

So anyway, I guess I don't really need the sheet protectors, but I just think it'll look nicer and make the pages last longer - can anyone help?

Couple thoughts...

Use clear contact paper over your sheets.
Have the sheets laminated.

I've never seen page protectors in a smaller size, but it doesn't mean they don't exist.

Thanks Heather - those are both great ideas!

Michael's had them the last time I was there. In the same row as the Albums.

I've seen them at Michael's too. They were made by Century Craft. They come in 25 pages in a package. The price wasn't bad either, only $3.29. Where did you find the 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 notebook? I've been wanting to get one.

Thanks very much to both of you for the Michael's tip - I will be heading up there tonight!

SusanP - I found the smaller binder at Office Max, and also saw them at Staples. They were $4.79 in Office Max and $5.19 in Staples. The one I got is a little nicer, with the clearview cover that you can slip a sheet of paper into - that kind only came in white. That was the only one I saw in Staples. OM had a few other choices - black and blue I think, but those weren't quite as nice quality and were only 20 cents cheaper. I figured I should spend the extra 20 cents and get a much nicer binder!
