BAM! Comic Book Binder Slipcover!

To keep the comic book binders that I made last week dust free, I decide to make a book slipcase. This also helps ensure the binder keep its form and remain straight on the bookshelf. So instead of tossing away your used postal mail package, it can be recycled and given a second life. Not all packages will be a perfect fit, so foam board can be inserted into the box to make the binder fit better. There is a wider variety of Con-tact Paper design to match your decor, so shop around.
