DIY Notebooks

No more boring black and white compositions

The school term by now is in full swing and most of us are already tired , stressed or just about getting there. However, there is no need to waste another precious moment stressing , we have just what you need , a notebook. Might not sound like the best stress reliever but by the time you’re done decorating you’ll be yearning for any chance to whip out those notebooks. Lets get to it!

Things you need: A Notebook , wrapping paper(decorative , plain , sticky or all three) , your favourite quotes or pictures , glue , paint , pens , pencils , your creativity. 

With decorative wrapping paper

Step 1: Measure the length and width of your notebook and then subsequently the wrapping paper. Be sure to cut the wrapping paper wider and longer than the notebook.

Step 2: Wrap the notebook with the wrapping paper and there you go you have nicer books to carry to school 

OR

With clear wrapping paper

Step 1: Measure the length and width of your notebook and then subsequently the wrapping paper. Be sure to cut the wrapping paper wider and longer than the notebook.

Step 2:  Lightly glue the quotes on the book.(Hint print out your favourite motivational quotes they might just end up being just what you need when you get stressed again.)

Step 3: Wrap the book as normal

 OR

With brown wrapping paper

Step 1: Measure the length and width of your notebook and then subsequently the wrapping paper. Be sure to cut the wrapping paper wider and longer than the notebook.

Step 2: Glue your favourite pictures and quotes directly unto the wrapping paper

OR

After step one use you creative skills to paint or draw whatever you want on your book. Just make sure the paint is dry before putting it in your bag.

We hope these ideas will de-stress you as well as motivate you to power through the term.
