Scraps of paper

Scraps of decorative paper

Scraps of cardboard

Choose your desired model of decorative paper and cut a rectangle from it ( 4" X 5" 1/4 ).

Then take some unused cardboard ( I used the back side cover of a decorative paper pack ) and cut 2 rectangles ( 3" X 2" ) and another one ( 3" X 1/4 )

Using some solid colored paper cut 20 - 25 rectangles ( 2" 3/4 X 2" ) and another rectangle ( 4" 1/4 X 2" 3/4 )

• Using PVA glue stick the cardboard rectangles on the design paper rectangle leaving an eight of an inch between them.
• Cut the corners of the design paper.
• Fold and stick the sides.
• Stick the colored rectangle ( 4" 1/4 X 2" 3/4 ) on top of it.
• With a bone folder score between the cardboard rectangles.
• Fold it along the lines.

• Align all the pages and hold them together using a paper clip.
• On one of the long sides apply a generous layer of PVA glue.
• Let it dry for about 5 minutes until the glue become transparent.

• While the pages are drying, create a small ribbon loop and stick it on the inside of the cover.
• Now, stick the pages.

• Using some adhesive tape stick a strip of ribbon on the bottom of the notebook.
• Now, add a decorative button.
• Lastly, add some nice paper butterflies.
