I've got the idea of the mini notebooks from The Sorry Girls, they did a video teaching their viewers how to make this pretty handy notebooks and I thought I would share my take on them.
The only difference from their video is that I use the metric system so instead of inches I used centimeters (cm).
These notebooks are so small they can fit in any purse/bag, they are ideal in case of emergencies and can be given as gifts too (I did that, paired them with a great book and a few colorful pens). And because it is a diy you can personalize it however you want, you can add letters, bows or rhinestones, anything your heart desires!
What you will need:
- white paper
- card stock (color of your choice)
- pen
- ruler
- scissors
- stapler
Step 1: trace a line of 19,7 cm and another one of 6,4 cm on the chosen card stock
Step 2: trace another line 1,3 cm from the top of your mini notebook, see below:
Step 3: cot out the card stock following the lines from step 1.
Step 4: fold the card stock at the line from step 2:
Step 5: take as many papers as you want (at least 10, a max of 15) and trace a line of 8,9 cm and another of 6,4 cm like below:
Step 6: cut the papers accordingly:
Step 7: place the papers in the card stock and staple them in place like below:
And done! Admire your work!
You can approximate the measures as long as you keep the proportions.
