You will need:

Some notebooks – I used these Moleskine plain paper notebooks which come in a set of 3

Fabrics – fat quarters would be great and will cover most sizes, leaving plenty spare

Mod Podge and a paintbrush

Sharp scissors or a rotary cutter and cutting mat

An iron

Step 1

Press your fabrics before starting. Then place a notebook on the fabric to measure how big it needs to be – these notebooks have a little flap i the back, which I covered as well. Cut out the fabric, leaving a few millimetres around each edge, and then trim what will be the inside edge to neaten it.

Step 2

Spread some Mod Podge on to one side of your notebook – I started with the inside flap here. Don’t spread too much on or it will just go a bit gloopy.

Leave for 30 seconds before placing the fabric on top, smoothing out any bumps.

Step 3

Repeat with the other sides of the notebook, smoothing the fabric as you go.

Step 4

Leave to dry for a while – you’ll probably find that the books bend a little, which is fine! Once they felt dry, I put them on my table and stacked a load of books on top of them to flatten them out again.

These notebooks will be really useful for jotting down my blogging ideas on the go!
