DIY Notebook Decoration
One thing that makes me happy about going back to school is getting new school supplies! Ever since I was little, I've loved office supplies and the number of notebooks and journals I've owned through the years is a bit outrageous! Normally I tend to be on the hunt for notebooks and binders in bright fun colors, but this year I decided to pick up some plain supplies and add my own touch to them!
This project was super easy to do and all you need are plain notebooks, mod podge, a paint brush, and pictures (I got all mine from pinterest). After I gathered all of my supplies and pictures, I used the website Pic Monkey to make the pattern for my collage. After you create your template, import the pictures you want on the cover into the template and mess around with what parts of the pictures you want showing in the collage. After you collage all your pictures together print out your collage and cut out the pictures. Play around with how you want the pictures spaced/arranged on your notebook and then begin to mod podge them down. For the final step I went over top of the pictures with more mod podge to make sure they were secure, and there you have it, your own personalized notebook!
Here are the two collages that I made if you are interested in using them!
