I am a pretty big procrastinator when it comes to doing stuff around the house. If I have to go searching for a cleaning checklist or write a meal plan from scratch, I am even less likely to get the chores done. Household binders allow you to have a central location for important information, cleaning checklists, family birthdays, monthly schedules, and more. I created a collection of Canva templates to help you create a binder of your own. Customize my free Canva household binder templates with your household’s information, print the pages out, and put them in a 3-ring binder.

WHY UPGRADE TO CANVA PRO
You can use the free Canva or Canva Pro version to edit these templates. The free version of Canva is an amazing tool for creating graphics to use online or in print. It does have its limitations, however. If you are looking to have access to a wider range of tools, assets, and abilities, Canva Pro might be worth the monthly subscription.
A Canva Pro subscription comes with the following:
- Access to over 100 million pieces of premium content including graphics, stock photos, videos, and more
- Intuitive video creation software
- Impressive photo editing capabilities (like Background Remover that works with the click of a button)
- Over half a million professionally designed templates to guide your design
- Turn static photos into GIFs and videos with instant animation
- Social media scheduling for Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Twitter
- The ability to resize your design for different social media platforms with the Magic Resize tool
- Quick and easy branded graphics based on your personalized Brand Kit
