Hi Everyone,
Welcome to my Blog & thank you for stopping by.
Today i have a lovely Notebook Folder/Organiser that would make a great gift for anyone. I made mine from chipboard but you could also use cereal boxes etc. The paper pad i used is called 7th Heaven from Mintay & its beautiful.
There is 2 notebooks in the folder which i made myself. Its really easy to do. One has copier paper in & the other is some lined paper i cut from a notepad. I just put the pages together and wiped glue over the top where the papers join. I then clipped them together for about 30 minutes. Give it a try!
On the front of the folder i made a pocket that you could put a photo in or a quote of some sort. I thought it was a nice little feature, I used a die to cut out the window and then put some acetate behind it. The gold closure is also a lovely addition and i picked a pack of them up from Aliexpress.

Ann, I've just watched the YouTube video and it's absolutely gorgeous. This would be great for my mate as she's always looking for bits of paper. Where did you get the chipboard? Mags xx

DeleteI love this project, it would be great the secretary at the school, the teacher during teacher appreciation week, the principal in beautiful flowers for a women or stripes for a male. I will most definitely be watching more of your you tube channel. Also it would be nice to add the product website or store that you got your products from. Thanks you are the greatest. Penny
