Just in time for Christmas is the need for notebooks bigger than ever, right? To-do lists, wish lists and New Year's resolutions need to be written. We'll show you an easy way to make your own stylish notebooks.

You need a patterned paper to the front and back, for example, gift or origami paper but also colorful ads goes well. You also need about three sheets of plain paper per notebook, scissors, stapler and glue.

1. Start by cutting all the paper in the size you want. We have cut our paper in half so that they are long and narrow. The papers need to be twice as long as the complete notebook. Remember not to have too many sheets in the same book, then it will be too thick and difficult to adhere to.

2nd Fold the papers and fold them in half.

3rd Staple late on a couple of places in the left over the edge.

4. Do not you want to staples to appear so cut a small strip of paper in a different color and paste it over the braces. Allow the glue to dry and then it's ready to start writing!

    Have read and read now and cranked up the many crafts to do list : D

    But now I just wanted to tell that you can also sew the books if you want. Just to make four or more holes and sew up and down and then make a nice knot and a bow on the outside of the book. Will superfine if you use anything fancy matching yarn.

      Hi Sophie,

      I'm glad you found it to us! We have tried to sew books too (but not posted on the blog) and agree that it is super nice. We may do it as a post a little later but we have so many other things we want to do before then :) Good luck with your crafting projects!
