Here is a very quick and easy way to

to make dull old notebooks more noticable .

Get yourself some daggy notebooks .

These were very , very cheap at the newsagents.

Trace the size of the notebook and add 1.5cm

to each edge . If you are going to make a few

of these glue your tracing to some thin card

to use as a template.

Trim the corners for a neat finish inside.

Use a marker and trace around the template

onto the paper side of applique paper .

Follow the paper manufactures instructions

and press the paper to the wrong side of your fabric .

Use paper scissors to cut the traced fabric out.

Peel off the paper and fit your prepared fabric

to your notebook adjusting as necessary.

Use a hot iron with no steam press

the front and back covers only on .

When you are happy with the covers press

the inside flaps to secure them .

Aren't they easy !

You can always add some applique

or ribbons to these and they can then

be on hand for quick gifts .

Christmas , I'm sorry , really isn't that far off

and you can make a stack of these

in no time , really you can .
