The Final Product...
I'm sure you guys have all seen the notebooks that I based this off of with the triangles and the pretty picture. This is just how I did mine and well if you have no idea what I'm talking about then you will now.
As I said in my last DIY School Supplies video I am using the Mead hash tag notebooks. This one is in yellow...
(you could also put this on a piece of paper and put it in a binder).
And I'm just going to measure my notebook so I could figure out the dimensions of my triangles.
And cut out some stencil triangles so I could figure how it would look and just stencils...
If you're curiousI used two different size triangles so that none of the triangles would be cut off. All my triangles were two inches wide though. The bigger ones (for the top and the bottom) were three inches tall and the smaller ones were two and one fourth inches tall. Just in case you wanted to know.
And if you are familiar with this diy then you might know that normally people use magazines but my house lacks good magazines so I printed off a bunch of pictures from tumblr instead...
And of course I had to cut them out. You also just use magazines and these two steps of printing them and cutting them out would be totally unnecessary.
And basically I also sorted my pictures by which size triangle I was going to cut them to be and if the tip would be at the bottom or top. Even if you are using magazines I would encourage you to think about this so that not all of you triangles have tips at the top or at the bottom.
Then I just drew the triangle on the back (highly recommended because then you can't see the lines once you cut and glue it)...
...and cut them out once again putting them into their piles based on size and direction.
Then I layed out my triangles deciding where I wanted to put which triangles and deciding which ones I wanted to be cut to be the half triangles on the sides. (Hint: If you cut one triangle it can be used two times for either side)
Then I glued on my triangle down. I like to do normal glue to put the triangles to the notebook and then mod podge on top to seal any corners.
And for the spiral rings. You can either not put anything on the strip near the rings or take a scissor and make cuts where all the holes are allowing you to put the little flaps in between the spiral. Make sure you make the slits where the holes are and not the spiral rings otherwise the slits will end up not going around the rings and yes. If that makes any sense at all...
