♡ DIY: Simple Notebook Cover Label/Decoration (Works on Plastic Covers!) ♡
Every year, I LOVE to decorate my notebook covers, especially if they're plain notebook covers. But I wanted something simple so I can repeat for like 5+ notebook covers. I'm VERY picky about my notebooks. I feel like some notebooks have super thin paper (I don't like) and I won't use cardstock-cover notebooks because they tear super easily (especially when you're sliding it in and out of your locker constantly). So I always stick to plastic covers. However, drawing/painting on plastic covers never seems to work. So, I thought of this DIY. There's probably 1 key component... maybe 2. So I'd like to share this with you! (Hey, that rhymed!)
Supplies:
1. Mod Podge (to seal the paper/decoration/label that you'll be making so that it can look glossy AND keep the paper from scratching and look duller as times go by)
2. (Optional) Glitter Glue
3. Scissors
4. A cheap paint brush to apply glue the Mod Podge and glitter glue with
5. A Permanent Pen/Marker if you want to write/draw on the decoration
6. LABEL PAPER (I used the Full sheet type, not the small labels. The full sheet ones are like printer paper and a super large paper sticker. It's basically a paper-sized label). I used the Avery 5353 type. (Click here to buy)
7. A notebook
8. Printer to print the pattern/design onto the label
Let's start!
1. Choose the design/picture/wallpaper you want to print onto the label paper. I googled "tribal patterns," "vintage patterns," and "tumblr patterns" for the patterns I used shown in the picture. (Also, the rose wallpaper is by Lily Pulitzer)
2. Paste those pictures onto a word document and adjust the sizes.
3. Print!
4. Once you've printed them, cut the pictures out.
