This is an easy craft to decorate and customize your spiral bound notebooks or composition books or binders. Just lightly draw your design on the cover of the notebook with chalk and then glue buttons on to the cover with a strong glue (or have your parents help you with hot glue). This is easy and looks amazing!
Here is a daisy of a notebook cover to be made now—used later! YOU WILL NEED: glue, fabric (large enough to cover your notebook), scissors, bits of fabric or felt in 2 or 3 colors, and a composition notebook. To make it, brush some glue over the notebook, then cover them with the fabric as you would with paper. Cut any simple outline you wish out of the felt or the solid fabric (a butterfly, a flower, a heart, a geometric design, etc). Then cut the small details of the object out of felt or fabric of a contrasting color (the dots for the butterfly's wings, the leaf on the apple, or the stem, the leaves and center of the flower). The best effect can be achieved with the greatest number of layers—as you add these colorful details one on top of another, you also add depth, dimension, and texture to the picture. When you've cut all the necessary pieces, glue these felt layered design elements to the front cover of the composition notebook.
You will be using a book of matches for this craft so ask permission from your parents first. Remove the staples of the folder and the matches. Cover the folders inside and out with wallpaper, self-adhesive paper, wrapping paper, ribbon, cloth, or some bright-colored paint. Insert about 6 sheets of note paper, cut to about 1 1/2" x 1 3/4" and restaple. Screw a tiny eye screw into the eraser of a pencil. Then fasten to folder with a piece of string.
