What better way to make a craft if it involves some recycling. In this post we are going to make this notebook with materials that we all have at home and a little time.
Do you want to see how?
Materials you will need:
- 1 roll of toilet paper
- White glue
- Hot glue gun (optional)
- Stapler
- Scissors
- Cuter
- Two folios
- Pieces of cardboard, wrapping paper ...
Hands on craft
- Cut the toilet paper roll to open it like a flat piece of cardboard. Fold it in half and on the inside, using a rule or something straight, draw a finite line with the cutter without going through the entire thickness of the roll. This will help it to fold better.
- Cut the folios into rectangles that are slightly smaller than the toilet paper roll itself. Put 'em together, fold' em in half and staple them together in the center.
- Glue the stack of sheets already stapled to the cardboard with the hot glue gun or white glue.
- Apply white glue on the outside from our beginning of notebook and line it with wrapping paper or other paper that is not very thick. Fold it inward.
- Cut two pieces of cardboard or thick paper and put it on top of the parts that we have folded inward in the previous step.
- Optionally, you can put another piece of cardboard on the outside of the notebook that will serve as the cover.
And ready! As a gift, for you, whatever you want, you will have a small notebook at hand made with the things you have at home.
I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
