How to Repurpose Old Dividers || Happy Planner

[@kerrywalker3005]

Great ideas! Whenever I see Happy Planner stuff on clearance at Hobby Lobby (sometimes they are DIRT cheap), I have to buy them, mostly for the discs alone, but these are great ways to repurpose those dividers. Thanks, Elisa, for another great video!

[@ScrappyWife]

You are so welcome Kerry!

[@carolcasassa160]

Great ideas! Now I'll have to start paying attention to the clearance planners and Hobby Lobby and Joann's - LOL!!!

[@ScrappyWife]

Right?!? Love picking those up on clearance!

[@bonniepearce5151]

I’ve been using them to re-label and make custom sections in my planner, but this opens up a whole new world! I love the bookmark and vision board ideas!!

[@ScrappyWife]

💕💕💕

[@kriskraftsmorewilson9651]

Thank you for sharing and teaching us a new idea it saves a lot of money this way also injustices I was thinking about to ask you about that punch that is shown you to put the Pages back in I was wondering where you got it but then you said something about it thank you God bless please have a amazing day

[@ScrappyWife]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Thank you for the good ideas! I cut the disc edge off and bind mine together to create an art journal, they are a nice weight and hold paint well.

[@ScrappyWife]

That is a fabulous idea!

[@annsmith5625]

Certainly glad I don't have that many extras 😊 I like all the ideas but the one I might use the most would be the last one. The post-a-note page! I am forever thinking of things I need to remember..⚾️

[@ScrappyWife]

Yes! Having a post-it note "parking lot" in your planner can be really helpful!

[@2Bs_scrapsNcrafts]

I’ve never thought of this! That’s great!

[@ScrappyWife]

💕💕💕

[@thehoys9412]

oh thank goodness you did this video. I LOVE your ideas and am implementing today!!!

[@ScrappyWife]

Awesome! Enjoy!

[@MelodyLee1989]

These are awesome ideas!! My kids seem to use a million bookmarks, so I like to cut some of them into basic bookmarks, put them in a jar. Beats them tearing random scraps of paper and leaving them around the house!

[@ScrappyWife]

Love that!

[@jenniferwagner6478]

Wow…I’m definitely out of the loop here! I clicked on the video thinking it would be about repurposing hanging dividers or file drawer dividers. I was pleasantly surprised. I love the matting you do.

[@ScrappyWife]

Hope it still gave you some good ideas!

[@1dc25]

I would love to see you repurpose the folder that accessory packs come in!! They’re so pretty so I don’t throw them out but I’d like to use them for something.

[@ScrappyWife]

I used to keep them all, but I got rid of quite a few when I changed up my craft space.

[@judyanderson7489]

I love everyone of these ideas. I have a lot of planners bought on clearance. Thank you so much

[@ScrappyWife]

You are welcome - happy planning!

[@TinaPlansLife]

Great ideas! I never thought to repurpose those dashboards. Now I'm looking at old planners like...which one is first. 🤔

[@ScrappyWife]

Haha, there is about to be some crafting going on up in your space! Have fun!

[@dedestaggs5093]

I love these ideas ❤! Thank you for sharing

[@ScrappyWife]

Of course!

[@JoSomebodyYang]

Great ideas! I love the vision board idea!

[@ScrappyWife]

THanks! Hope you enjoy getting to reuse those older dividers...

[@carolhutner8931]

You always come up with such creative ideas. Much appreciated!💙💛🪴

[@ScrappyWife]

It's always nice to find a way to reuse these gorgeous dividers!

[@nmladyg]

OMG! I love your videos. I have learned so much from them. I always throw the dividers out after each month. I never thought of using the scrapbook papert to cover the back. This is such a cost saving idea for those who are on a budget. Love it.

[@ScrappyWife]

Yay, glad to help!

[@44hopeful]

Awesome ideas to use old dividers! Thank you for sharing!

[@ScrappyWife]

You are very welcome!

[@michelebrittany5538]

Happy birthday, Elisa! I hope you have a wonderful celebration! Great tips on recycling Happy Planner index pages!

[@ScrappyWife]

Thanks so much Michele!

[@tracireichenbach5212]

Thanks for the inspiration….I made 6 new dashboards this morning. They turned out so cute!!

[@ScrappyWife]

Yay, that is awesome!

[@lesliewells-ig5dl]

[@jenntonakSA]

[@chrisb5391]

Very cool! Recycling means no waste!

[@ScrappyWife]

Yes!

[@kimberleywest5001]

Love ALL the ideas 💡 😅

[@ScrappyWife]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@jenka_b]

So many great ideas, love it.

[@ScrappyWife]

Always fun to find ways to reuse these dividers!

[@biblesbooksandbeauty]

Love these ideas. I think I may want to do one for my faith planner to track the books of the Bible as I complete reading them

[@ScrappyWife]

That's a great idea!

[@shannondorrell7199]

Thank you for great ideas!!!

[@ScrappyWife]

Any time!

[@darlenelozada1360]

Love them all

[@ScrappyWife]

Thanks so much Darlene!

[@judyanderson7489]

I am going to try to repurpose them for my stamps, dies etc. especially if they are laminated.

[@ScrappyWife]

Nice!

[@xyngchic]

Thank you for the inspo. Do you have a link for the tab punch?

[@ScrappyWife]

Here ya go - amzn.to/3AWScH8

[@sarahanderson4402]

Clever ideas 💡

[@ScrappyWife]

Thanks so much Sarah!

[@jennifereldridge8603]

Great ideas! Thanks

[@ScrappyWife]

You are so welcome!

[@whitewolfmother901]

I agree it's great to repurpose I thunk it would be awesome if you have the extra ones is to make gifts or even yourself for example 2 books one for new and old testaments for bible study or if you study tarot, or herbs, or just about anything you can build your own study book with sections

[@ScrappyWife]

Again, more great ideas! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@dedestaggs5093]

Elisa, do you have a link for your paper trimmer?

[@ScrappyWife]

Here ya go - amzn.to/4f9FXZt

[@tiffany5986]

Great ideas :) thank you

[@ScrappyWife]

Thanks for watching Tiffany!

[@FrancesForte-w5w]

I really LOVED this video,,,,

[@ScrappyWife]

Yay, glad it was helpful for you!

[@annapilla1614]

New subscriber here love this video I’m glad I held onto my planners lol!Can you tell me the brand of your paper cutter? Does it fold in half? Mine just broke so I thought I would ask you about yours. Thank you so much❤

[@ScrappyWife]

Mine is a Fiskars brand, and yes it does fold in half. It is pricey, but I really like mine.

[@carterhannah4961]

How do you find the first hole with punch?

[@ScrappyWife]

I just line it up with my eye, or use another HP page as a guide. The tool also has a built in guide that allows you to line up holes.

[@gardeniasummer]

Love it! Thank 😊you

[@ScrappyWife]

Thanks for watching!

[@jolenemiller4958]

Has anyone tried using a heat tool to take the tabs off of the date planner dividers to make just plain dividers?

[@ScrappyWife]

I have not - I imagine it would still end up damaging the divider.

[@jeancurrie1862]

How do you combine dividers if you have planners with a different ring setup?

[@ScrappyWife]

I would just trim off where the disc punch is and then re-punch the divider if you are switching over to a ring system instead of a disc system.

[@jolenemiller4958]

If you’re going, say, from a big planner to a classic planner or smaller or from a classic planner to smaller, you just cut them off to match the pattern on the size you want.

[@DianaThomas-kp8ll]

Could use them to make vards

[@DianaThomas-kp8ll]

I mean cards

[@ScrappyWife]

Yes, totally!

[@lisaschooler9992]

My old dividers are still sitting on discs…from 2019 and forward… every time I decide I need to recycle them, I look at them and have some reason why it’s too cute to throw out… i’m gonna try to just keep maybe my top 25 of them and let the rest go, lol. But then I start thinking about how some of them are stargazer, some of them are homebody or planner babe, and maybe I should find someone who wants them in the FB trade groups, etc etc LOL

[@ScrappyWife]

If you love them, it is time to repurpose and use them!

[@whitewolfmother901]

Another idea could be if you do lots of events to have sections like the PTA or Athletics make sections for emergency contacts, student info or even holidays if you throw parties make sections for guest lists foods gift ideas the possibilities literally are endless

[@ScrappyWife]

That is SUCH a great idea!!!

[@rachelburgener819]

👏👏👏❤️😀

[@ScrappyWife]

Thanks so much Rachel!

[@shana4604]

Thanks for the ideas🩷 I have to do this with a 2025 BIG Happy Planner because I didn’t like any of them 🙄

I've got some inserts on my website if you are interested! www.scrappywife.com
