Journal
This little journal is much cuter than the photo
shows.
You will need fabric scraps that are 4" long, a piece of fabric
large enough to
cover the notebook cover, a scissor, glue, clear contact paper,
ruler and notebook with a chunky oversized coil binding.
Measure the notebook cover. Cut the fabric to that size.
Cut a piece of clear contact paper about an inch larger on each
side. Take the paper off the contact paper and lay in sticky side up
on a table. Take the fabric and place it UPSIDE
down on the contact paper placing it all the way to the edge of the
side that will
butt the coil binding. Put a small amount of glue on the notebook
cover. Position
the fabric/contact paper in place. Bring the edges of the
contact paper around
the cover and stick them in place. You may want to trim the
corners on the
contact paper to have it be less bulky. If you are using a
plastic covered notebook, you might need to use clear packaging tape
to hold the contact paper in place.
Take the fabric strips and tie one to each individual coil.
Trim if necessary.
These little journals would make cute gifts for kids to make for
friends, sisters
or for moms as Mother's Day gifts. Boys would like these as well if
you use
fabric that has tractors, fire trucks or other appealing novelty
fabrics.
