When I bought this notebook I thought the design was cool but I really didn't like the spiral spine. I realized that I have a whole bunch of little bitties of fabric that would be perfect for something like this. So I broke out the needle & thread (and the E6000) & went to work.
Supplies:
notebook :: fabric :: embroidery thread :: E6000 (or hot glue gun) :: scissors
measuring tape :: needle
Step 1 :: Measure around the spine of the book & the length (add about an inch or so allowance)
Step 2 :: Cut! Mine was about 6 x 9 inches
Step 3 :: fold over the edges a bit & sew. Make sure you keep checking that it will be long enough & wide enough to fit!
Step 4 :: Sew around until you are done. Tie a knot!
Step 5 :: Mark where the edge of the fabric will go on either side.
Step 6 :: Glue! Put a line of E6000 on the fabric & lay across the marks.
Step 7 :: Let the front side dry & repeat on the other side. You might have to stretch it a little bit.
Ta-Dah! You're done!
Now write away to you heart's content!
