Red Craft is going to show you how to make a very simple note book ever! Well, you just need a few sheets of plain, A4 paper and that's it!
Let's begin!
How to make a note book?
What you need:
1) 10 sheets of plain, A4 paper (the number of the paper needed is optional)
2) A pair of scissors
3) Ruler
4) Pencil
5) Decoration for the cover: Ribbons/Sticky notes/Buttons (Optional)
Steps in making a note book:
1) Fold each of your A4 paper into half. Crease well.
2) Now that we've 10 sheets of paper. Divide them into halves so we have two sets of paper with 5 sheets of paper each.
3) As you've folded them into half, insert each of the paper into one another. Repeat this step for the other set of the paper.
4) Now we're working on one set of paper. Put aside the other one.
Take your ruler and measure as shown. It can be more than 1 cm. :-). Repeat the step for the other side of the paper.
5) Open up the set of folded paper and cut the edge of the paper (follow the red line shown). Do the same for the other edge of the paper.
6) We're done with that set of paper. Now let's take another set of paper.
Take your ruler measure as shown. Do the same for the other edge of the paper.
7) Using a pair of scissors, cut the set of paper as shown.
8) When you open up the folded paper, you'll get something that looks like this. It would be better if the hole has a smaller width.
9) Take the first set of paper and fold it horizontally. Do not crease the paper. Slowly insert the set of the folded paper into the hole that we made at the second set of paper.
10) Try to open up the set of paper that we fold earlier slowly so that it fits perfectly in the second set of paper.
11) We're done! Now you have your handmade note book!
Don't forget to decorate the cover of your note book.:-)
Useful tips:
1) You might also love to use different colours of paper for your note book.
2) Smaller size of paper produces smaller size of a note book that can be slipped into your pocket easily.
