I decided to try to do a tutorial every or every other Friday depending on what I can come up with. Some will be simple with out pics some with. Stop by to see you can make!
The first 3 people to make each tutorial and attach a link to their blog will get a fun homemade prize from me(please state food or craft)!
Today's tutorial is an art notebook.
First your supplies:
1 notebook of your choice, I find that a folder that you add paper to works great as well.
enough fabric to cover notebook and make pockets
sewing machine or sewing glue
tacky glue
colored pencils or crayons or other art supplies you want to add.
1. lay your notebook on fabric and mark leave 1 inch around top and sides for edges and leave at least 4 inches at the bottom for pockets the best way to tell is to bring fabric up from bottom and see how much you want also don' t forget the seam allowance at the bottom as well. Also slit top and bottom at center to allow for paper depending on size of notebook.
2. hem all edges with the machine or with sewing glue
3. attach art supply pockets if you want a pocket for pencils or crayons make sure you use a gather stitch at the bottom before sewing the individual pockets or it won't have room to fit the pencils in. If you are using glue just make one big pocket for supplies because glue with smear and close up individual pockets for pencils.
4. using tacky glue attach fabric to notebook.
5. let dry
6. you can decorate with ribbon, buttons or something fun and creative!
