I so want one of your binders iris, but they are like gold dust x

[@sharon94503]

I have a hack for the sharp picker tool...empty a mechanical pencil and replace the lead with a sewing needle. You'll want to experiment to find your right size, but when done it makes precise picking a breeze.

[@irisbudgets]

Ooh what a great tip! Thank you x

I've seen most of your videos, think your great and have helped me so much. I thinking of making videos myself and sell my own products to hopefully help me earn money to help with my saving challenges. What printer do you use for your challenge savers ?

[@irisbudgets]

Thank you. It’s an HP office jet not sure of exact model xxx

[@patriciaa3462]

You need a Brother Scan N Cut. They have auto blade setting now. Love mine.

Can you make a video showing how to create a template for the tracker? Very helpful video! Thanks for uploading 😄

Could you make a video into how you got into cash stuffing and what beginners would need? I would love to get into this but I have no idea where to start 😅

Hehehe I’ve ruined so many Stacie 😂♥️

[@Ahorrandoconmarisol]

Hi ! New subbie 💞

[@irisbudgets]

Welcome!!

[@sarah607chang]

For a suggestion, you should laminate your vinyls with the envelopes, because the vinyls will not last that long to keep using it over and over again

[@irisbudgets]

Thanks Sarah. That would definitely add to the time to make and I’m trying to make it as efficient as possible but thanks for the advice xx

[@lheyhey]

Lol I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I’ve broke 2 laminators since last night trying 🙈 I’ve only been using 80 for inside and 150 for outside! My luck is absolutely awful 😂 the second machine is the one I believe you have not sure of yours is ION? I’ve no clue with these machines 😂your video btw xx

[@irisbudgets]

Hi Lisa!! Yes I use the ion or spectrum, depending on my budget! I’ve broken a fair few over the last year or so!! X

[@Thrivingonabudget]

What size treasury tags do you use. I’m going to have a go at making myself a Christmas one but keep ordering wrong sizes x 😂

May I ask where you buy your binder clips? I’d like to make one for myself. Love your videos btw!

[@irisbudgets]

Hi you can source them on Amazon. Xx

[@msdollb]

I love these! New subbie and I went to your Etsy, there are no binders listed?

[@irisbudgets]

An thank you so much! They’re all sold out currently - hoping to restock this weekend. If you follow me on Instagram I post shop updates on there x

[@Bespoke234]

Thank you for such a helpful video what size ring binders do you use thank you x

[@irisbudgets]

Hi Sophie their inner diameter is 1.95cm xx

[@sophiehumpage4956]

Hiya I absolutely love your videos and I was thinking of making something like this for myself, roughly how much would u say it costed for eh materials and equipment and is it worth it??

[@irisbudgets]

Hi Sophie - quite a lot to be honest. I had to buy a printer and the cricut which were almost £450 for both. Also a laminating machine. Then there’s paper, laminating pouches, the binder clips, the vinyl and tools. Each binder costs quite a bit to make. So far there isn’t much profit in it if you want to make for other people. But if it’s just to make for yourself you’re better off buying one from somewhere I think 👍🏻

[@sophiehumpage4956]

@@irisbudgets hiya thanks so much for replying that is a lot to consider thank you very much

[@budgetanewlife5744]

Hi Iris can is ask what size treasury tags you used? There are a few options and not sure which would best fit? Thanks love the video.

[@irisbudgets]

Hi! So I think they’re about 15cm?? Whichever are the longest 😂

[@lheyhey]

Hay hun so you use 150 microns for the inside and outside 250 microns? I cannot find a laminated stir that will take 400 microns all together 🙈 xx

[@irisbudgets]

Hi there yes I do!! I’ve broken a few laminators in my time 😂

[@lheyhey]

Hi Lovely, Do you mind me asking what make lamination pouches you use for both inside and out as mine are turning out really horribly cloudy. I wanted to have a go at marking one as I can never get hold of yours 😢😂 too popular you are see xxx

[@irisbudgets]

Hi Lisa, do you mean the brand?? I talk through the thicknesses in this video, but I mainly use fellowes for the pouches x

[@lheyhey]

@@irisbudgets I tried that brand but there’s like a water mark of the name on the pouches that do not totally disappear when I laminate them, if that makes sense- I’ve tried putting them through twice on their machines also. I’ve even signed up to instagram to try and get a notification of when you are uploading your binders on Etsy 🙈😂

[@irisbudgets]

@@lheyhey sounds like the laminator isn’t hot enough if the Marks are showing through, you might need a more heavy duty one!! Also make sure you press as much air out as possible before you feed them through so they’re as compact as possible x

[@lheyhey]

@@irisbudgets much appreciated hun. Tbh I’ve kinda given up now 😂 just hope I can get hold of one of your binders. Are you selling anytime soon? Xx

I’m really sorry, is the width 17cm and the height 8.3cm? My measurements don’t seem to be fitting :( thank you!
