A few weeks ago I bought these cute brown notebooks from Pick Your Plum, a fun daily deal website. I bought several because I thought they would fun to customize and decorate, and they were only a couple dollars each.
I loved how they turned out!
I used this gorgeous paper from Die Cut with a View for the lacy floral notebook, the yellow polka dot a picked up from a local scrapbook store.
For my paste, I used white school glue, with a bit of water mixed it. Don’t add too much water, just enough to make it brush easily onto your paper and notebook.
Start by cutting the front piece. The size of your notebook will determine how many pieces of paper you will need. This notebook measured 7” x 7”, and I used 2 pieces of 12” x 12”.
I wasn’t super precise, I just eyeballed it and used my paper cutter to get nice, straight lines.
I eyeballed the corners as well. Cut a 90° on the side piece, then cut a 45° angle on the top and bottom sides of the corners (it doesn’t need to be an exact angle). Once your piece is cut, you will want to glue the front of your notebook first. Using your paste, generously apply a layer to your notebook and your paper. Work quickly and make sure both sides are still wet before you glue them together.
{It doesn’t really matter which side you cut each angle, just make sure you glue the 90° pieces down first, then the 45° after.}
