I dont know about you, but I've always had a love for school supplies. Doesnt matter the time of the year, a new notebook or set of new inky pens just makes me the happiest. But what to do with those old left over notebooks? The old ones that have lost its shine. Well, make them brand new again!
supplies:
|
#1. Old composition notebook
#2. Fabric. This is the perfect time to use any
left overs you have laying around
#3. Scissors
#4. Spray glue
|
|
Step one: Trim the side of the fabric you are going to use.
Step two: This is were things get messy. Spray the notebook with spray glue
but make sure you don't get it on the black portion of your notebook (black tape).
In other words only spray the pattern of the notebook.
|
Step three: Your going to want to work fast. Start by making sure the fabric is aligned
with the border of the notebook (black tape that holds it together). Then smooth out
the rest of the notebook, making sure all the wrinkles are pressed out.
Step four: Now that the fabric is attached to the notebook, its time to cut off the
fabric. What you need to do here is trace along the sides of the notebook. |
|
|
Step five: Do the same to the other side. Wait for it to dry, and voila
you've got yourself a brand new notebook! |
Cheers!

I love school supplies so much. I still get excited about paper and pencils and pens even though I'm not in school any more. I put your button up. :)

Oh, I love this! I should do this with my binders so my classes seem to be a bit more fun than they actually are.

That's actually another reason why I transformed my notebooks! That and it turned out to be a great organizing tool. I added a patch of fabric to the spine of my school books that matched each notebook. That way I knew who belonged to who.
