How adorable! I was wondering what kind of glue that you used to adhere the paper to the notebook? I noticed that with the comp notebooks, because they're kind of shiny, not all glue works, so I will usually sand mine first to take the sheen off so the paper will stick better. But if there's a glue out there, I want to know! lol :) Thanks!
Great idea! Can be used for school children or for adults. I like it!
Lovely!
Love it!!
Such a great idea to dress up a notebook, thanks for the share.
I love it.It is so unique.My granddaughter would love this done in her favorite colors.Black and light blue.With her initial on it somewhere of course.Great idea.
Very cute idea!
Hey Emily,
That is a great idea to sand off the sheen from the notebook! The glues I have used are Mod Podge and also Glue Arts: Extreme Tac (Glue Glider gun). They have both held out great! Hope that helps!
