Little Notebooks
These are
cute colourful little personal notebooks for Serena to write her little secrets
in!!
They are very
simple to make
You will
need some coloured/patterned paper (for the covers) plain paper (for the pages)
ruler, glue, pen, scissors or guillotine and sewing machine (no experience is
needed)
We made our
notebooks 4cm square, so the first step was to measure from the coloured paper
two strips 4cm by 8cm
Then used
the guillotine to cut them out
Now we put glue
to the back of both of the coloured paper, them folded them in half
We measured
and cut the white paper into 3.5 cm squares
So now we
have heaps of pages!!
Serena
stacked some of the pages neatly together
Then placed the
back cover, making sure that all the seam/binding edges are aliened
Now add the front
cover keeping everything aliened
We used a
bulldog clip to hold the pages together
Then sew
the seam/binding together. We manually turned the sewing machine needle as it
was a little too thick for the foot pedal to go through all the pages!!
The last
step was to tie the cotton ends together so the stitching won’t come undone,
then cut it off near the knot and remove the bulldog clip
Done
You now have
a little notebooks!!
