DIY Cute Notebook


Yayy! A new how to!
Today I'm going to show you how to make a cute notebook/journal/diary! You can make this as a gift for a friend or family member or you could make it for yourself to write daily things, plan what you are going to do, make it into an art journal, the possibilities are endless!!

Supplies:
Paper (A4 & A3)
Cardboard or cardstock (A4)
Stamp
Ink
Scissors
Sticky tape
Stapler
Washi tape (Optional)

Step 1.
Stamp your A3 piece of paper (only 1 side). This step is very customisable, you can change stamp (even use more then 1) and change the colour, or choose to completely skip this step
Step 2.
Get your cardstock and fold it in half. I chose to use I white piece but you can use a coloured piece if you skipped step 1
Step 3.
Get your paper from early, put it stamp down with the cardstock on top
Step 4.
Cover your paper like you cover school books or any other way
Step 5.
Fold your A4 paper in half and stample it to your cover/cardstock
Step 6.
If the paper goes over the edge when closed, cut a little bit off the paper on both sides
Step 7.
To make it look neater and add a bit of colour, I added some washi tape, but this is completely optional
And your done! :)
Have fun making this cute notebook and if you do decide to make please share it with me Facebook or Instagram!

Hope you enjoyed this post! :)
