Materials
Composition Book - the old fashion marble kind is just fine
Earth Love'n Gift Wrap - Flower Girl or other gift wrap designs
Card Stock - pink, white and/or other selected colors
Tape Runner - I did break down and buy this easy to use double sided tape dispenser. If you don't want to use tape, a glue stick would work also.
Optional - Stickers, ribbons or other decorative items.
Instructions
1. Use a plain composition book for this project (no holes).
2. Using the gift wrap, cut 2 sheets of paper approximately 6" x 10". Put adhesive tape or glue on the back of 1 sheet of the paper.
3. Place paper over the composition book so that the edges stick out over the sides of the book. The edges will be trimmed later. I placed the paper evenly over the front end so that I wouldn't have to trim it. Composition books come is slightly different sized so it is important to cut the paper a little larger than the book.
4. Trim the edges of the paper around the book. Sandpaper can also be used to smooth out the edges. Make sure you use downward strokes with the sandpaper or you will take up the paper off the composition book. Repeat this process for the back of the book.
Have fun with this project and good luck getting your kids up for school in the morning. My girls are going to be very cranky!!
