Quick and Easy Covered Composition Book Tutorial 

These are all so pretty!! I love all the gorgeous purple papers you used on the books you showed at the beginning 😊

I like making journals from composition books like these. Today I bought 40 more to make. Everyone does them differently. I always get ideas of how to cover, what adhesive to use, how to finish inside, different ways to make pockets etc. Always helpful.🙂

Wow, this was so helpful! I am motivated to try and make one. Thank you!

I’ve made quite a few of these and it’s fun to see a different perspective on making them. I do fold the paper to the inside and glue it down, so I can make a smaller liner to finish it off. Like you, I add my ribbon with the DS tape to the inside cover before adding that liner. Your books are beautiful and I never thought of adding pockets-So Useful!!! Thanks for sharing.

Love the ribbon and pocket !

Thanks for this tutorial. I can’t wait to make one of my own.

I just subbed. My students and I do notebooks every year. Sometimes they put pockets inside the cover. After they decorate covers with letters and what not, we use plastic packing tape to seal it. They have the ribbons for a place marker. Then we punch a hole ( I have a class set of one-hole punch tools) and thread a rubber band through the back cover to keep their notebooks closed when they carry them in their book bags. These are so cute, though. I find they remember these and most keep them as a reminder for future classes ( I teach Algebra 2 and Geometry). It has made their student conferences easier for them to show/tell their parents what they’ve learned. Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. 😊

I always used glue sticks in the past, so glad I found your tutorial, so informative. Can’t wait to get started on my Christmas planner.

I love this am just learning how to do this and I was so excited how easy it is the way you did yours. Thanks so much wish me luck 🍀

It's lovely.

Thank you so mush exactly what I was looking for!!

You have to count your time in!😮 They are gorgeous and you should charge more.❤

I cut all of my paper to the dimensions I had carefully measured, but before I was to put them all on with the adhesive tape, I thought I would see if I could gain any tips before putting my very first sheet on, so here I am. Yes, I’m very nervous that I won’t be able to match everything up perfectly and really mess it up. I tried out the adhesive on a separate piece of paper, and it seems like I will only have one chance to get it right since once it’s on, it’s on for good. Watching your video, it looks to be far easier to put the whole page on and then trim around the edges. It makes sense really. Thankfully, we’re given two pages of each design, so I’m just going to pull them out and try it your way. Wish me luck! And thank you so much for making this video rather than assuming everyone knows what they’re doing, cause we don’t. Plus, I think the best way for me to learn is to learn from watching others through their skill and insight, and I’m sure I’m not the only one, so thank you again. Wishing one and all a very Merry Christmas and an even better New Year! 🎈

You're not factoring in your time or gas. I would pay $6 for one. Cute!

Great Video. How do you add the ribbon bookmark?

Minimum should be $5.00 up to $7.00. I sell mine for $5 and $6

I would rather fold the edges. I can't cut straight to save my life!

Yes some are very talented But the TALK TO MUCH. Before doing ..I really Dr out want to know every detail of your life .I am on to forget mine lol.
