Notebook Covers

Well, if that wasn't fun, I don't know what would be.

 

I bought a leather notebook cover that was just gorgeous. GORGEOUS. I wanted more. So many more! Well, at least one more. I decided to try my hand at making them and it turns out I did an okay job. Mine aren't anywhere near as sturdy as the original, but making them was super fun and they're sturdy enough.

 

I had a hard time finding thick leather in awesome colors. The brown one is made from some leather I already had, and it's the sturdiest. It did, however, give my corner punch (the blue thing at left) a run for its money. The other leathers are from this etsy shop. So much prettiness! The best stuff is the teal/blue pull up leather. The metallic stuff is okay, too. Suede didn't work at all, no matter how thick (way too floppy).

 

These are made to hold up to 4 notebooks, the larger hold Field Notes and the smaller the wee Rhodias.

 

Here's a link to the tutorial I liked.

 

How much fun are notebooks, I mean seriously?!
