A friend of mine in the art dept at work was making notebooks out of scrap paper and album covers, so I brought him some stationery I had hanging around and a record I picked up at the library sale, and this is the result.
Here are my first efforts in the world of book binding, small A7 sized notebooks, and I have to say I am pretty pleased with them as an initial attempt, which is unusual for me.
I didn’t have any book cloth and it is quite expensive, so I made my own using some old cotton twill trousers. I simply cut out a piece of fabric, laid it on a thick piece of glass, and then overlaid it with a larger piece of tracing paper coated with PVA. I then gently (don’t press too hard) rolled over it with a printing roller and allowed it to dry.

Repurposed clean, brown, paper grocery bags are used for the cover of this small, super deluxe version of my notebooks. Great for your purse, as party favors, or to use as a journal on your road trip this summer. It measures 5 inches high by 3 inches wide when closed. It contains 10 papers which create 20 pages. The papers for writing include graph paper, newsprint, yellow and white notebook paper, and practice writing paper. Each notebook is machine stitched with white thread.
The cover is rubber stamped with the words "road trip" and lined with beautiful repurposed wall paper. The writing paper pages are sandwiched with a page from a vintage cookbook and a map, creating visual interest and reflecting the road trip theme.
I didn't like the spiral bound notebooks. Because when you ripped out a piece of paper, it had the confetti edge down the side ! But that is how these two came. I tried not to use up the paper, So I could save them.
Because when I used up the paper there was no need to keep the cover. Although I did doodling on the inside and outside of the back covers. They did get some damage. In spite of my trying to preserve them.....
First day for my internship at GLIDE. I was so tired afterwards that I forgot about the photo and took it several minutes after midnight.
