DIY Notebook Covers

In a few short weeks (or days) school bells will be ringing, big yellow buses will be making their way down the streets, and homework will consume our lives. That's right people, it's already AUGUST and school is just around the corner!!! Whether you're in middle school or college, everyone deserves cute school supplies that will brighten their day while sitting in class -  and what's better than something custom made that's totally YOU?! These DIY notebooks are super easy, affordable and they are so cute! 

 First you need to gather your supplies. All you'll need are:

1. Notebooks - these are 25 cents at Target! 

2. Any kind of cardstock paper or scrapbooking paper. I got mine from Joann's.

3. Scissors or a paper cutter

4.  A paper hole punch

5. Any kind of adhesive - glue or mod podge works the best! Or if you have a Xyron that is what I use! 

Next, mark the scrapbook paper where you need to cut to make it fit on the notebook cover. Make sure that it doesn't overlap onto the rings otherwise it won't fit correctly.

Cut your paper and then mark where the holes are so you can punch holes - 

 

Once your holes are punched you are ready to put adhesive on! 

 

If you're using tape, glue, or mod podge it's easier to put it on the cover of the notebook rather than the paper because it will be easier to exactly align everything in the end. Make sure you cover the whole thing so that there are no loose corners! 

 The end product is adorable and you can add whatever bling or lettering you want to! The whole process takes about 10-20 minutes.
