I made this just because I really wanted one.
I used some wooden dowels that I had and constructed a chipboard box that would accommodate their size. I covered it with papers and then used a Rolodex card as a guide to glue the dowels in. I added a drawer pull by Tim Holtz and TAA DAA!!
The corners are made of card stock, cut in a circle then wrapped around the corners.
Stay Crafty, My Friends!!!

I used to see Rolodexes at the thrift store all the time, but not since people have started to use them as journals and albums. I never thought about making one myself. Yours is so much cuter than the standard office ones!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, this is so cute!! I can see myself making one of these for my sister. It would be such a cool way to keep hard copies of her business contacts. It would be great for pictures and journalling too. I agree I would have never thought about making one .... not until now anyway. Thank you for sharing this with us.
ReplyDeleteVery clever!!! Looks great and so useful!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you posted this. I just became a licensed life and health insurance agent. In result of me being new to this I am trying to keep cost down. So I googled DIY Rolodex and the picture of yours came up. Thank you for leaving this up. I going to make this today. This is awesome.
ReplyDeleteI made one too but yours looks soooo much better than mine:)
ReplyDeleteI never thought of using a Rolodex as an idea keeper. Thanks.
