Notebook With Pen Holder

I altered this notebook as a Teacher Thank-you gift. I used grosgrain ribbon as a pen holder because I find it frustrating when I can't find a pen...lol. I explain how I altered this notebook below.

Cover the spine with patterned paper.

Attach the ribbon--I used Liquid Glass. I made sure to cut it quite long so that it won't get pulled out with constant use.

Cover 2 pieces of CS cut to the same size as the notebook.

Here are the pieces ready to assemble. Glue 1 covered CS piece on the front, and 1 on the back (to cover the ribbon).

And that's it, you're all done, nice and simple.

Here's a shot of the inside front cover. If you follow my blog, you know that I like to wrap my patterned paper around the edges, and then finish it off with another piece of CS.

Recipe: CTMH Level 2 Paper-That's Amore, CTMH CS-Vanilla Cream, Black & Tulip, CTMH Ink-Tulip & Black, CTMH SS-Treasure Life, Nestabilities Oval, Prima Flowers, Rhinestone Brad, Liquid Glass, 3D Foam Squares.

Enjoy,
