Step 1Take the 2 notebooks you have and make sure they are the same or similar. You don't want the lines in one book bigger then the lines in another. also make sure the pages are the same size.(when making this do not exceed 140 pages. your book will tear or it will be hard to turn the pages)
-
Step 2Remove the coils from the notebooks, all you have to do is cut the coil at the first hole and bottom hole. then just unscrew the coil.
CAUSTION:
WHEN CUTTING THE COIL BECAREFUL, IT MIGHT FLY OFF AND HIT YOU. SO HOLD THE NOTEBOOK AWAY FROM YOU OR USE SAFETY GOGGLES. -
Step 3This is the Book Block (140 pgs)
-
Step 4The Covers!
Use the 2 back covers from the original two notebooks as your new front and back covers.
note: I used the back covers because they are sturdier, and they were completely blank.
-
Step 5If Using The String
Pull the string through the first hole so it is equal on both sides of the book. Next weave the String in and out of the holes. This can be teadious. When you get to the bottom you can double weave and tie it off.If Using The Needle and Thread
Do the same process as the sting, but do it maybe three time to make sure you have a strong binding. -
Step 6It should look something like this!
All the holes have been woven through twice. -
Step 7to make sure the thread/string stays knotted, use tape to secure the knots so they do not come part.
You could also paint clear nail polish the knot, or place a sticker over the knots to hide them -
Step 8and you're done. you can decorate it in any way you want. i choose to make mine kind of unique.
also in the book it looks like a smudge, but it is really an impression of a tiger that i shaded to you could see the white lines underneath.

If you carry a lot of stuff in your backpack or bookbag it seems like the spiral spine get bent up and then the paper doesn't tear evenly - doing this project would eliminate that and give you twice as much paper to work with - you could even put a slightly larger piece of paper or cardboard between the two notebooks if you wanted to use it for two different subjects.
Instead of cutting the wire out you could just unwind it from the pages.
