An empty and blank notebook is a notebook unloved.

Paper patchwork

If you didn’t get enough inspiration in the tutorial yesterday (How to make a Paper Patchwork Notebook Cover) where I showed you how you can “dress up” a blank book and make it sparkling pretty today I’m posting even more images of the notebooks we made.

I covered one of my black empty notebooks and mom two. I also covered the altered book I’m using as my Art Journal with paper patchwork, but with a twist. I’ll get to that book tomorrow… I really love the look and feel of these notebooks, and I hope you do too!

It’s finished and ready to be filled with more colorful content. Daily musings, drawings, receipts, stickers, postcards and notes is coming your way my darling.

In no time your look will have changed from crisp new to thick, full and used – one of the transformations I enjoy the most when it comes to notebooks, journals, blank books and altered books.

I love making Paper Patchwork Notebooks. I think there will be more in my future.
