Fabric Organizer Swatch Ring Binder DIY

I don't know if you guys have this problem like I do but I keep buying fabric and just stash it away hoping to use it soon for an upcoming project. However, I never remember how much I have or what I have once I am ready to start a project or while buying new fabric. So I came up with a super simple DIY for you and for me. The only bad part of this is actually going through all your fabric and actually finding out how much of it you do have, hehe. You can take you little binder everywhere and always know what you have at home.
 
 
So I went and got myself a 2 ring mini binder which I hope it was big enough to keep all my fabric swatches. 
Are you ready to see how much fabric I have?
Due to all the moving I keep my fabric in one of my trunks, but the drunk won't be able to keep much more of it soon. 
I use part of my stash and cover the binder so its not boring. I hot glued the fabric to the binder.
After I glued the fabric I use ribbon to over the edges of the fabric.
Then I went to work on getting swatches. It took me two day finish getting all my fabric organized and measured. I found a lot that I did not know I had. 
How do you keep your fabric organized?
Stay Crafty everyone,
Loren

This is a great way to use some of those small leftover pieces of fabric from other projects!
