HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN NOTEBOOK FROM AN OLD NOTEBOOK OR EXERCISE BOOK


Hi guys! I am so sorry I accidentally deleted the post on my tablet. I thought it was a draft. Anyway, I am reposting now and hopefully you guys don't mind the inconvenience I caused you all.

So, the procedure on HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN NOTEBOOK FROM AN OLD NOTEBOOK OR EXERCISE BOOK is literally here:
I just used some old paper from an exercise book. Just tear them out.



  •  First, collect any type of paper you would like to use in your notebook. (Remember that you can alter with the thickness of the notebook.) Just cut them out. As you can see, I chose a Math exercise book. I don't know why I am saying something that is obvious.





  • Then , stapler all of the papers together with a huge stapler if you are making a rather thick notebook like me.(P.S You can also mix and stapler any type of paper. I just combined everything into one big notebook.
  • Remember to stapler them neatly, you wouldn't want it to look like a mess. I kind of regret stapling mine messly. It looks annoying.)







  • After that, tape the edge of the stapled end with transparent tape.


  • Then, cut out the cover of the exercise book. We are going to do some designing.


  • Take a piece of coloured paper(This is seriously not a recycleable material, but at least I am using some leftover from a project.) and cut it to the exact size of the cover.


  • Glue the new "cover" of  your  notebook.
  • After that, you can just draw some cute little doodle on your new cover with Sharpie or any colourful markers and pens. You can also use some leftover gift-wrapping paper if you have some. ( I changed my cover into this because my brother accidentally spilled some paint on the pink colour paper.) I just love how I can customise it and make it into something personal<3





  •  Next, tear a piece of drawing paper, cut it to the exact size of the cover and glue it.



  • After that, take out your paint and paintbrush cuz we are going to add some colour and creativity to our cover.





  • Paint the cover anyway you like.
  • Then, you just have to tape the inside of your notebook with either washi tape or normal tape.
  • For extra, tape the outside of the notebook and you will have a cute and original notebook for school and anything you want. However, the most important part is that you are helping to reduce the rate of paper wasting and turning "waste" into something useful. Bye!
This is my brother's notebook:
He says that he painted the autumn leaves and I kind of love it even though it is messing, it is actually quite nice in its own way.


Oh and I forgot, here is the video of my notebook. Enjoy!
