Do you like pretty stationery? I love it. It makes me happy and keeps me awake during boring meetings. Japan is a heaven for the cute stationery, but with this tutorial, you can dress up a simple notebook with scraps of fabrics. It’s super easy (no sewing).
I used the notebooks I got for free from my cell phone company. You can get a simple one from a dollar store. I used double sided tape to stick everything together.
1. Cut the fabric you want to use. I laid the opened notebook on a fabric and cut it 2″ longer than the notebook on all sides. Make sure to iron the fabric so it is not wrinkly.
2. Fold the top and bottom of the fabric so the size of the fabric matches the sides of the note pad. Iron. Place a double sided tape on the folded top and bottom and place it on the notebook.
3. Do the same for the sides so that the entire notebook is covered with one fabric with edges folded inside. That way the fabric ends won’t fray.
4. Decorate it with pretty fabric tapes, flyers or stickers!
