Notebooks are seriously what keeps the world spinning. Well that obviously isn’t true, but they do help you to stay organized, hold your deepest inner thoughts, and are probably the number one gift given to women. I love notebooks but hate how many of the designs you see in stores look the same. By now you’ve probably figured out that I love unique things! An easy way to make an average notebook step into the realm of amazing is to make a personalized DIY notebook with stickers, scrapbook paper, and punches. By customizing the front of the notebook it makes it look super snazzy, unique, and you can bet that no one else will have one like yours (score!). The best part is that it doesn’t take long or many supplies to spice up your little notebook!
I had a promotional notebook that I got at some convention that I absolutely love but it had a random logo on the front. So I thought, how cute would it be if it had the It’s So Corinney logo on the front? I dug into my scrapbook paper and an hour later, I picked out some cute paper for the background. This project is so versatile and you could easily use stickers instead of a printed logo or you could cut something out of a magazine. Also, if you go on the scrapbook aisle at any craft supply store they usually have pre-cut designs that you could put on the notebook. So, in no at all you have a one-of-a-kind personalized DIY notebook (this just makes me so happy)!

What You Need!
- Scrapbook Paper
- Notebook
- Scissors
- Double Sided Tape
- Paper Punches (I love to use corner punches)
What to Do!
Here is the original notebook before it became absolutely fabulous!!
Measure how big your background color should be.
Use paper punches to make the edges decorative! You can skip this step if you don’t mind your background being square.
I punched both of the background layers’ corners so they wouldn’t be jealous of each other.
I use Elmer’s tape for all my paper craft projects but feel free to use your glue of choice. If you are unsure what tape to use just go with Elmer’s it’s hands down the best!
Run the tape around the edges of the top layer.
Center the top layer on top of back layer.
Put tape on the logo layer.
Position the top layer on the background layers.
Tape the finished logo onto the center of the notebook.
That’s all there is to it! Now, you can enjoy having the most awesome notebook around!
