In today's tutorial, we will learn to cover a notebook with a piece of cloth thus giving, apart from a new life, a fun touch to all our personal notes.
Materials
- A notebook old or new that you want to customize.
- Heat sealant glue or fabric glue.
- Heat sealer gun (if you choose heat sealer glue)
- Fabric according to the appearance we want the notebook to have.
- Scissors.
Our Process
The process that we must follow is quite simple and quick to do, so, even if there are an infinity of photographs, do not worry and you will see how in a few minutes you will have a beautiful personalized notebook.
First, if it is the case, we will remove the rubber that usually closes some of the notebooks that are sold today. To do this, you will have to remove the inner flap of the lid with scissors. Do not worry about this, since we can always glue the first sheet to the cover to cover the assembly.
Then we will glue the fabric, taking into account that we must stretch it well so that there are no wrinkles and that we must place it well so that it is not on the bias.
Once we have the fabric glued to the spine and the covers, we will proceed to make the hole through which the rubber passed with a cutter or scissors. Then, we will introduce the rubber and we will glue it on the inside.
Next, we will cut the fabric around the notebook, leaving a margin that we will fold and glue towards the inside.
Remember that, in the part of the spine you must cut it smaller and as straight as possible, since, in this place there will be no back page that covers it.
Once we have all the fabric glued, We will proceed to enlarge the last and the first page as a back cover.
And finally, we have our personalized notebook ready.
Until the next DIY!
