This is my seventh feature for Country Living Magazine. In this 'Simple Project' I show you how to upcycle an old notebook with some beautiful fabric for a totally unique and bespoke look.
You will need
* notebook
* fabric
* scissors
* adhesive spray
* double-sided tape
* ribbon

Method
1. Rest your notebook on your chosen fabric and cut around the edges leaving a 1 inch seam.
2. Spray the front of the book with adhesive and place it onto the fabric pressing down firmly.
3. Following the spine of the notebook, cut two slits at both ends of the fabric from the outer edges down towards the spine and tuck the strips into the spine itself.
4. Attach double sided tape along the seam and fold the fabric over the edges of the notebook sticking it to the inside.
5. Cut a length of ribbon to wrap around the notebook and stick it to the book with more double sided tape.
6. Finally, tie a pretty bow to close the notebook.
