I bought this notebook from Target the other day. It wasn't an ugly notebook...I just wanted to jazz it up. It was a special request from Matt's mom. She texted me one night asking if I could make her a decorative notebook. SURE! I love projects. So I found an inexpensive smaller spiral notebook from the store.
I unbinded the notebook (took out the spiral). Adhered pattern paper to the front and back cover of the notebook. Decorated with stickers and this is what I came up with!
The notebook came with a little folder inside, which I removed and replicated using coordinating pattern paper.
I then re-spiraled the notebook and it's back to the way it was manufactured, just with my twist on it!
She will be using this notebook when she goes to a dance convention this weekend and I'm sure to write down choreography throughout the dance session.
Tip.... To keep the pages together when you un-spiral the notebook, use a binder clip to hold it together, this way you don't loose pages or have to line them up when it's time to re-spiral.
Supplies: Echo Park: For the Record; October Afternoon: Thrift Shop; K&Co. Yellow sewn paper, spiral notebook (approx. 5" x 7")
