DIY Burlap Notebook

June 3, 2015 by Holly Gagnon 7 Comments

My craft table is  full of scratch paper, post-it notes and and ugly spiral notebooks.  I finally  decided to get that paper clutter under control and start being a lil’ more organized {fingers crossed} by creating a DIY Burlap Notebook for myself using the Pebbles Inc. Home + Made collection.

Most often the things I make are for other people.  This notebook would make a great gift for a friend, but not this time.  This notebook is for me and only me to keep my  blog notes {top secret ideas of course} and inspiration.

 

How to alter a composition book

To make this DIY Notebook, I  recovered a Plain Jane composition book with burlap paper  and embellishments all found in Pebbles Inc  Home + Made collection.

 

How to alter composition book

After measuring  the Burlap Paper, I used a We R Memory Keepers corner chomper punch to round the corners to make a perfect fit.

To cover up the edges of the burlap paper, I adhered white ribbon and  Home + Made decorative tape along the notebook sides.

The inside of the notebook is also covered with patterned paper and embellished with a Glitter Kraft bag, Home + Made accent stickers,  glitter gold decorative tape and a Journaling card found in the 6×6 paper pad.

The cover of the notebook  is embellished with twine, Gold Thickers and  Home + Made Stickers.  Lala-Love my DIY Burlap Notebook and I look forward to filling it up with notes and creative ideas.   Now I just need the time to create all these ideas….

    What kind of adhesive did you use for the burlap? I am making an art journal and wanted to use burlap with card board on the back. This is really cute!
