Today I learned how to make a CUTE readers notebook out of scrapbook paper and a composition book.
Prep: 12X12 scrapbook paper. Cut 3 inches off the side of the paper. This will leave you with a 3X12 strip and a 9X12 (almost letter) size piece of paper. You need 2 of the 9X12 pieces of paper and one contrasting color of the 3X12 piece of paper.
Materials:
Composition Book
Glue Stick
2 pieces of 9X12 pieces of scrapbook paper
1 piece of 3X12 piece of scrapbook paper
Packing tape
Scissors
Cover the notebook with one of the pieces of the scrapbook paper.

This actually shows the back being covered. But its the same process for both sides. |
Now wrap the scrapbook paper around the notebook like you are wrapping a gift. Use packaging tape to seal the edges.
Leave a small gap as you fold the corners so that the paper has a little give when opened.

See small gap! |
This is another view of the wrapping of the cover.
Once the cover is wrapped you can seal the spine paper and the cover paper with packaging tape.

These are the tabs created for our Readers Notebook. |

Tada! Here is the front and back of my Readers Notebook. Next step is to add stickers and photos. Then seal the whole notebook with packaging tape. |
