  • Notebook

  • Scissors
  • fashion Magazine
  • carbon Tracing Paper
  • Glue Stick

Steps (9 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Sketch out the design of your choice. I drew an angular heart and added some more connecting lines to fill the heart with more geometric shapes.

  2. 2

    From an old (fashion) magazine, cut out pieces of the most funky looking fabrics you can find.

  3. 3

    Using a pencil, trace the design onto the notebook cover by layering a sheet of carbon tracing paper facing downwards in between the notebook on the bottom and the paper with the design on top.

  4. 4

    If necessary, use a ruler for help.

  5. 5

    You will now have traced the shape onto the cover of the notebook.

  6. 6

    use thesame technique to transfer all the litle triangles onto the magazie scraps.

  7. 7

    Cut out the traingles and glue them onto their rightful place on the notebook using a glue stick.

  8. 8

    Optionally, paint over the design with mod podge for extra security, being careful not to go over the design as the glue will be visible otherwise.

  9. 9

    Happy note taking!
