With all the notebook hoarding I’m doing around here, you’d think my last name was Hemingway. You’d think that I wrote feverishly about terribly important topics. Neither of those apply to me. I just like notebooks …and more often than not, I just put them on a shelf to look pretty… because we all know that if you actually use a pretty notebook, you’ll be sucked into a special kind of hell where you’re forced to listen to the vapid internal monologue of Kim Kardashian. And no one wants that sort of life sentence.
Ever since I did my series on bookbinding – I’ve been on a rampage when it comes to handmade notebooks and today I’ve got a super simple project that fits right in. These are so easy to do that you can use them up with no worries because it’ll only take you a few more minutes to create a new batch…thereby avoiding that whole Kardashian thing.
A note about supplies: You’ll have most of these supplies on hand already – but there’s a good chance you don’t own a paper piercing pad. The purpose of the piercing pad is to offer a soft surface when stapling the fold of your notebook. You can also you fun foam or ever a couple of layer of corrugated cardboard should work fine.
You’ll also need a craft knife for this project, which is not pictured above. 
I can promise you this – you are going to want to make a ton of these. The folded notecards from Lawn Fawn are my current favorite since they are 100lb weight, making them sturdy for a notebook cover. Generally speaking, a pre-folded card will be a bit sturdier and thicker than regular cardstock or patterned paper – which makes a card more ideal.
Once you’ve pumped out a few of these, you can use our lesson on easy chalkboard tags to create simple embellishments & labels on the notebook cover.
Cool!!!!!!! I am digging the ease of making these notebooks. I followed your advise from the bookbinding series and went to Office Depot to have them cut my copy paper. I also had them cut several packages of cardstock since I have so much. These would make wonderful gifts for an Easter basket. Thanks for the inspiration! 😉
More goodies for my Easter baskets! Thanks.
I’ve always wanted to know how to staple something that is too wide to fit in the stapler. Now I know; you’re a genius! Thanks for all your lovely ideas.
Awesome idea, Ashley. What is the max number of sheets of paper you can put in one notebook before it won’t lay properly?
I have some note cards that are perfect for this project!
Thanks for your amazing ideas
Susan
These are great. They don’t take a lot of time and they can be decorated for any occasion. thanks for the idea.
What a great idea! I just made 2 of them in less than half an hour! I didn’t have any pre folded notecards, but I do have plenty of 12 x 12 card stock and it worked very well. I will use them for pen pal letters instead of notes, I think. I will be making more of these very soon. Thanks for the inspiration!
Sweet!!!!! Thank you, Amber!
P.S. Your nails look very pretty too, this morning 🙂
I love these super cute notebooks, Amber!!
Thanks for another great (and simple) gift idea!!
These notebooks are darling! Thanks for sharing!
Very nice. I like it.

These are so cute Amber – going to try to make a few to tuck in my nieces’ Easter box!
I adore your projects Amber! You’ve inspired me to give this a try. 🙂
I always used to study paragraph in news papers but now as I am a user of internet thus from now I am using net for content,
thanks to web.
I do trust all of the ideas you’ve presented in your post.
They’re really convincing and will definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are
very brief for novices. Could you please prolong them a little from next time?
Thank you for the post.
By the way, wrote about the insurance, I just went through this process recently and it’s good that I got a good insurance company where I was able to get a favorable policy and at the same time my case with the accident hit just in the insurance case and I was paid in full compensation. That is why I can say that it is better to read reviews, for example about trexis insurance , in order to understand better what to expect and what people think about it. I recommend that you check it out.
If you don’t have a paper piercing pad you could also use an eraser to pierce the staples into. Just a thought. Great idea, i have just started making notebooks, journal etc so i am loving this one as presents for people. A nice personal touch. Thanks xx
