Description

This is the end to all dull looking, simple black notebooks. Add a little something interesting by recycling your favorite fashion magazine.

Instructions

  1. Small 111133 2f2015 09 19 205825 dsc 0130

    Sketch out the design of your choice. I drew an angular heart and added some more connecting lines to fill the heart with more geometric shapes.

  2. Small 111133 2f2015 09 19 205905 dsc 0166

    From an old (fashion) magazine, cut out pieces of the most funky looking fabrics you can find.

  3. Small 111133 2f2015 09 19 210021 dsc 0170

    Using a pencil, trace the design onto the notebook cover by layering a sheet of carbon tracing paper facing downwards in between the notebook on the bottom and the paper with the design on top.

  4. Small 111133 2f2015 09 19 210040 dsc 0173

    If necessary, use a ruler for help.

  5. Small 111133 2f2015 09 19 210101 dsc 0179

    You will now have traced the shape onto the cover of the notebook.

  6. Small 111133 2f2015 09 19 210138 dsc 0186%2bkopie

    use thesame technique to transfer all the litle triangles onto the magazie scraps.

  7. Small 111133 2f2015 09 19 210203 dsc 0187

    Cut out the traingles and glue them onto their rightful place on the notebook using a glue stick.

  8. Small 111133 2f2015 09 19 210306 dsc 0229

    Optionally, paint over the design with mod podge for extra security, being careful not to go over the design as the glue will be visible otherwise.

    Happy note taking!
