Do you often find yourself jotting down notes on a Post-It? Keep your Post-It pad protected with a beautiful handmade cover. In this DIY project, we’ll use scrapbook paper and clear stamps from Paperfuel. In just 15 steps, you’ll create a small booklet that’s not only practical to carry around but also makes a thoughtful gift!
Take an A4 sheet of grey cardboard and draw two squares, each measuring 8 x 8 cm, and one rectangle of 1 x 8 cm.
2
Place the cardboard on a cutting mat and use an aluminium ruler and craft knife to cut out the shapes.
3
Take a sheet of scrapbook paper and align the We R Makers Book Cover Guide in a corner. Position one of the 8 x 8 cm cardboard squares on top and secure it with bookbinding glue.
4
Rotate the Book Cover Guide 90 degrees and use the narrow section to align and attach the 1 x 8 cm cardboard piece.
5
Repeat this process for the remaining piece of cardboard.
6
Next, place the Book Cover Guide at a right angle to each corner and trim off any excess paper.
7
Use the Book Cover Guide’s notches to cut the corners of the paper at an angle.
8
Fold all the paper flaps over and glue them down securely.
9
Take two pieces of black satin ribbon and attach them as shown in the photo.
10
Cut a rectangle measuring 7.5 x 17.5 cm from another sheet of scrapbook paper.
11
Glue this rectangle over the cardboard and ribbons, making sure to score the fold lines for a crisp finish. Then, attach a block of Post-Its.
12
Grab a black sheet of cardstock and stamp a fun message on it using Versamark ink.
13
Sprinkle clear embossing powder over the stamped text and heat it with a heat tool until the powder turns fully transparent.
14
Use a circle punch to cut the text out precisely in the centre of a circle.
15
Punch another circle from white paper and glue the two circles slightly overlapping on the front cover.
