An address book is a handy tool to have, especially in this age of technology where everything is digital. However, sometimes having a physical copy of important contacts can be more convenient and reliable. In this guide, we will show you how to make an address book from scratch.
First, you will need to make 12 card pieces (or more, depending on how many letters of the alphabet you want to include). You can make them in any size that suits you, but we recommend an A4 size that can be cut in half to A5 size. Double-sided card or paper is best to use so that each card has some weight to it. Cut each card in half to get your desired size.
Next, make a template for your pages using a Word document. You can create two columns for your pages and make them slightly smaller than your dividers. Print this template on both sides of your paper, making sure to cut off the small sliver between each print. You should end up with double-sided pages that are ready to be cut in half.
Once you have your pages, you can make templates for your dividers. You will need three templates that can be used both ways so that you have six templates in total. Use these templates to trace and cut out your card dividers, one for each letter of the alphabet.
The final step is to stamp the letters of the alphabet onto your dividers. You can use any stamp set you like, but make sure the letters are clear and easily readable. Once you have stamped all your dividers, you can assemble your address book by placing the dividers in alphabetical order and inserting the pages behind each divider.
In conclusion, making your own address book from scratch can be a fun and fulfilling project. You can customize it to your liking and have a physical copy of your important contacts that you can rely on. With this step-by-step guide, you can easily make your own address book and keep all your contacts organized.
