These notebooks are the perfect size to keep in your purse or on your desk. They'd also make a great gift. Isn't your sister's birthday coming up?
To make one notebook you will need to cut one 3x12 strip of paper for the cover of the notebook and four strips of white paper (also 3x12) for the inside pages of the notebook.
Fold all of the strips of paper in half. It's best if you fold them each individually instead of all at the same time. Sew the stack of paper together along the middle crease with a sewing machine. I set my sewing machine to a medium straight stitch. Be sure to do some back stitching on the ends so that the thread doesn't come undone.
And there you have it, an adorable handmade notebook!
Happy Crafting!
