If you are ever looking for a quick easy craft to use as part of a handmade gift or to sell at a craft fair, today’s blog post is for you!
First up is a covered composition notebook. Click here for a link to the one at Dollar Tree, or if you are like me, stock up when school supplies come out!
After doing this a few times, let me suggest the best way to cover the notebook.
- Best to not try to cut the paper to the exact size but go larger and cut away the excess.
- Don’t worry about covering the spine
- Add Tear and Tape around the edges of the notebook and in the midde
- Start at the spine, pulling away the tape and adding the designer series paper
- Once covered cut away excess with your favorite pair of scissors
- Embellish as desired
- With the ribbon, wrap around the entire flap (inside & outside), secure with Tear and Tape, then tie the bow.
The second note pad comes from Dollar Tree. It’s a 4″ x 6″ white pad made by Array. Click here for a link.
Specifics to cover the note pad:
- 4″ x 10″ piece of designer series paper
- Start by only adhering on the back
- Fold over the spine, crease with your bone folder, but don’t adhere yet to the front
- Add coordinating piece to the front cover that is 4″ wide and tall enough that when the back piece is brought over, they overlap
- Adhere down all designer series paper
- Add 3/4″ strip to cover the seam (suggest make it longer than needed and cut off excess)
- Embellish as desired
