[diy] old throw-out notebooks given a new life

front 

back 

 you will need:

1. old notebooks/ ugly notebooks

2. old wrapping paper ripped off from presents that people gave you or left over wrapping paper

3. designer sticky tapes

4. glue

5. scissors

 your wrapping paper should be cut in this way to stick over nicely on the inside of the cover. 

 i took a piece of scrap pink paper to cover up the torn part of this piece of wrapping paper and use shiny sticky tape to tape down the sides. this is a good way to hide away sticky tape marks and other ugly blemishes on the wrapping paper.

just a warning, its going to be picture loaded here. below are a collection of all the notebooks that i redesigned the cover. hope it inspires you to pick up your old unwanted notebook and give it a new life again! 

 happy recycling!!! 

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR TOO!!! ITS THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE. MINE TOO!
