The Finished Product...
The Inspiration...
Just Chevron and Newspaper, I love.
What you'll need:
A notebook
Newspaper Scissors
And not pictured..
Mod Podge
Paint Brush
Scrap paper
Sharpie (optional)
If you want you could paint the notebook but I just wanted to keep it simple.
The first thing you are going to want to do is take some scrap paper and figure out your chevron stripe. It took me some time before I found the one I wanted to use.
Test it out on your notebook to make sure you like how it looks. I wanted to make sure it covered the words on the cover.
And use that stencil to cut out your chevron newspaper stripes.
And lay them out on your notebook how you want them. I used one for the top and bottom and just cut it in half.
You are then going to want to glue them down and cut off the excess from the edges.
And then you can cut slits where the holes for the rings are, not the actual rings. I mentioned this in my last post but this is a better picture.
You are then going to want to mod podge over everything.
And this is optional as of everything but I just took a Sharpie and wrote some quotes along the edges.
And you are done.
I think this would also look really cool with a black notebook and some colorful scrapbook paper. This is totally personalized and I just love the simplicity of it. You can find my other school diys here.
