You Will Need (5 things)

  • Needle
  • 1 piece of thicker Paper
  • 3 pieces of A4 Paper
  • Thread in corresponding colour
  • Decorations

Steps (9 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    First, start off with 3 sheets of A4 paper. Fold them along the white lines.

  2. 2

    Next, cut/tear your paper to pieces according to the lines, leaving the dotted ones intact.

  3. 3

    You should end up with 48 little notebook pages.

  4. 4

    Arrange the pages into "piles", as seen in the photo. One sheet of paper makes for one pile/16 pages.

  5. 5

    Sew the pages together in each pile. Do not sew the piles together!

  6. 6

    Now, you need to grab a piece of thicker paper - Your notebook needs a cover.

  7. 7

    I find this hard to explain, so here's another diagram :)

    Just one thing. Make sure that you use the same holes when you sew your piles of paper onto the cover.

  8. 8

    Fold the cover in half and glue it together to hide the stitches.

  9. 9

    Decorate and enjoy your tiny new notebook!
