I started with these composition notebooks you can get anywhere, I got them at the dollar store.
I also gathered some scrapbook paper, Mod Podge, and some other embellishments. I used a paper cutter and a knife to cut out the paper for the covers.
I brushed a thin layer of Mod Podge on the notebook before laying the paper down, and then another layer on top of the paper. After that dried I hot glued some matching ribbon to edge of the paper on the binding. Then I used some embellishments to decorate the notebooks for the girls.
Here's how they turned out - I hope the girls like them! I definitely like how simple and cute they are.
Thanks for stopping by!
