I needed a few quick gifts for the ladies in my Bible study...we are always complaining that we can't remember our verses, or struggle remembering what we want to pray about during prayer time. I know a lot of people use journals, but I saw these spiral-bound index cards at Walmart and I liked the size of them as well as the price!
I started by removing the spiral with the pliers from my SU Tool Kit.
When it was removed all the way, I measured the front & back cardboard backings and covered them with some DP.
I used Elmer's Craft Bond sprayed onto the back of the DP as well as the cardboard backing for a really good adhesive coverage.
I used my 1/8" hole punch to punch holes in the top of the backing, just using the existing holes as templates.
Then I put a rubber band around the front & back cardboard backings, with the cards in the middle to hold them all together, and fed my spiral back through again.
I added some simple embellishments by using my JustRite stamper:
This side is for prayers; flip it over and Bible verses can be written on the reverse side of the cards:
I have already started using mine! Here are the ones I made for my ladies:

Excellent idea!! and what a great gift for the ladies in your Bible study!!
Such a great idea for you group. I start a new group after the new year, perhaps this would be a nice little gift to bring to the ladies...or at least have for my self.
FAbulous LeAnne... Such a clever gift idea!
Isn't the act of removing the spiral ring, AND GETTING IT BACK IN, somehow. . . . oh I don't know. . . . terribly frustrating???
What meaningful gifts girl! So thoughtful too
