I made this book specifically to store all of the bills I get in the mail. Before I had a drawer stuffed with a year's worth of gas, electric, and insurance bills because I had no other place to put them. Now I have an envelope for each type of bill/statement, and I can clean out that drawer. I ended up with a bag of envelopes and other unnecessary papers that can be recycled. And the accordion spine means the book can expand as I add this year's bills to it.

I love this! I would use it to put money in. every few months we stash away cash for groceries, a set amount for each week. Keeps us on budget and away from the plastic! Anyway, this would be a fun accessory for budgeting too :)
Thanks Jane! Someone else mentioned using it for budgeting too. Do you want me to make you one? I have a lot of colorful envelopes hanging around :)
I love this. Once softball season is over i plan to get a job and this is perfect for saving money I can use this to evenly split up my paychecks one for college saving, one for car savings, ect., and this is exactly what I need ! I love it! ,:)
Is there a tutorial on how you did your spine. I would love to try and make this book. Tfs.
Tam, I created an illustrated tutorial for this book structure and it is now available on Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/listing/164274442/diy-envelope-book-instructions-pdf?
Brillant-I'll need to try this:)
Genius!
I would love for you to make me a book! And maybe 2- 1 for Bills and 1 for Budgeting. Please let me know.
I clicked on the Etsy link, but it doesn't go to the book. Has the link changed?
Yes, please make another link!
Yes please make another link. I tried to do this and just failed. Is there someone that did it and it worked? If so can someone show me or make one and I can pay you. Like you were on etsy.
Sorry. the etsy link to buy the instructions does not work. I am also having trouble with your shop link as well. Do you still sell instructions?
would love to purchase the instructions.

Not quite the same, but better than nothing. :)
Sadly, the ETSY instructions are no longer available?
