-For the bigger notebook, I cut a cereal box into 4 rectangles and glued two rectangles together (this makes the cover stronger). Then I folded paper in half and sewed down the middle crease to make the binding. I glued a wide piece of ribbon to connect the two sides of the covers (the cardboard from the beginning) leaving a bit of space between them. Then I glued the creased part of the paper to the ribbon space in between the covers. I decorated the outside and inside of the covers to make it look cute! I glued ribbon around the edges and modge podged a dried flower on the front cover. -For the smaller notebooks I just used one piece of cardboard and folded it in half. Cut paper in half, then folded it in half and sewed in the crease. Then I matched the creases and glued the top paper onto the cardboard.
