Description

Do you need a notebook to keep important dates and to-do lists in check, but only have a tiny amout of space left in your bag? Then this simple little project is just for you!

Instructions

  1. Small dsc06529 002

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

  2. Small dsc06529 003

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

  3. Small dsc06530

    You should end up with 48 little notebook pages.

  4. Small dsc06533

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

  5. Small untitled

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

  6. Small dsc06536

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

  7. Small dia

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

  9. Small ghfs

    Decorate and enjoy your tiny new notebook!
