 Instead of paying extra for notebooks that have pictures and
decorations on their covers, you and the kids can save money and decorate your own books !
You can buy the lower priced spiral books with the plain covers and make them beautiful !
This can be done with colored vinyl binders.What you need:
- Spiral notebook or vinyl looseleaf binders
- Fabric paint
- White craft glue
- Glitter, stickers
What you do:
- Using a pencil lightly sketch on the notebook cover what you
would like to include as your decoration (s). Be creative- you can include your name, the
subject that the book will include, pictures of a favorite pet etc...
- Using the fabric paint trace and fill in the various
drawings on the cover(s) of the notebooks. Glitter can be included as a fun decoration.
All you have to do is place white craft glue in various shapes and then place the glitter
on top of it. Shake off excess glitter. Wait until the glue-glitter dries completely
before touching it.
- Have fun and include your favorite stickers on the covers
too !
Comments:
Use contact paper
From: Carey
I love the idea of covering the notebook. I
would like to suggest covering one in contact paper. They have a variety of styles such as
plaids and florals and not quite as messy! Children's contact paper is also available!
My Special Cloth Book
 All children enjoy having ownership in their work, and they
especially like to complete projects which focus on themselves. Bookmaking can be a fun
and easy way to help children at various ages and ability levels to communicate through
writing.
Texture Books
These books are super because your child can
help you create them and will help tactile development. Scrap material can be used to make
these books. use bright colors that your child enjoys. It is important to create a book
that is both strong and attractive. |
