As a person who writes a lot and has filled almost 20 journals I'm a tiny bit addicted to notebooks. Notebooks always makes me happy.
And I always loved books and ever since I can remember I wanted to know how to make my own notebooks. Bookbinding is such a fascinating thing to me and I would love to learn it one day.
When I was 14/15 years old I loved to make notebooks. I tried my best, glued paper together to pages and they really turned out pretty good (for someone who has no idea about bookbinding). I gave some of them away as presents for friends, but I still have some of them.
A few weeks ago I had this feeling, that I have to start again. I made some notebooks. They are completely different, not like actual bookbinding, but I love them.
And as some of you know, I love to work with books. So again, I ripped out some pages of this awesome book I found at the library's flea market and created those little books.
At the moment I have three of them, but I want to make more.
A red touch at the back ;)

ReplyDeleteP.S. I saw on your sidebar that you want to brush up on your French. Me too! How much do you know?
ReplyDelete(If you could learn English, then I can learn French!)
Ashley: Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteAmber: Yeah, maybe I should do a giveaway. I love hosting giveaways :)
How much French I now? I learned it at school 4 years long, but I've already forgot a lot :(
French is so hard to learn, but I'm sure I can improve my skills if I really want.
How much do you know?
I love these! So cool!
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh! Those are so cute. :) I want one! :D

whoa... aren't those the most awesome notebooks ever?? i have a thing for notebooks too... and yes, as a child i also did try to make one out of old elementary notebooks... how's that? it came out to be a total disaster. haha....♥
ReplyDeleteThey look soooo nice! Think you could make a how- to- make tutorial?
ReplyDeleteHow creative! I absolutely love them. =)
ReplyDeleteCUTE! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I want one! They are sooo gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all your lovely comments. Nice to hear, that you like them.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you get a chance to win one someday...I love doing giveaways :)
Wow, love the journals! They look awesome! How did you paste the old book pages to the cover? Glue? A special kind of craft glue, or just a regular glue stick?
ReplyDeleteI'm with everyone else-those are awesome!!! I tried making notebooks when I was younger but they never turned out very well-maybe trying again with a better system wouldn't be a terrible idea... OR I could just redecorate my older notebooks that look tacky. I second Georgianna's question :).
ReplyDeleteGeorgianna and Elizabeth: Thanks a lot! (And thanks Elizabeth for all your comments, I try to reply to all of them later :))
ReplyDeleteAbout the book page pieces. I think I used glue, but a regular glue stick works fine as well. You don't need anything special.
