CircaRolla Manila Folder Recyle Project

Here's a neat project from Duc N. Ly.

I do like to use the thick Moleskine blank sketch notebooks. I’ve already filled up about half of one. I was thinking of getting another one but I decided to save some money and make my own! There were a lot of discarded Manila folders in my office which I was starting to horded until one day there wasn’t room in the drawers any more. So I decided to recycle them into a notebook! The legal size is cut down with the paper guillotine, and the corners rounded. I bought a corner rounder at a scrap booking store or they even have it at Target’s scrapbook section. To minimize the waste, I first clip the tab edge as these can get damaged in the file shuffle. I line up to the seven inch mark and chop the tab edge. Then I measure eight inches and chop the folder again. You can use what ever dimensions you want.

Is the beloved Moleskin just cheesy old Manila folder'ish paper? I am now more baffled by the attraction this cute (sure it is) little book has over visual artists.
Your version then, is most brilliant!
