Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Fold all your plain paper sheets in half to create the notebook pages.
2. Fold the cardstock sheets in half to form the front and back covers.
3. Decorate the front cover with markers, pens, or pencils. Add stickers or washi tape if desired.
4. Align the folded pages inside the folded cover.
5. Staple the pages and cover together along the fold line (usually 2-3 staples spaced evenly).
- Alternatively, use a needle and thread to sew along the fold for a more durable spine.
6. If desired, punch holes along the spine and tie with ribbon or string for added decoration.
7. Press the notebook under a heavy book for a few hours to flatten it.
