For everyone who loves altering notebooks WITHOUT measuring lol(!) I have a new version of this video where I alter two more notebooks using this basic technique and some fun additions like foiling and faux stitching! ruclips.net/video/xbkkIWImYw8/видео.html Come check it out! I am also using newer supplies such as newer patterned papers and embellishments!
Thank you so much! If you're interested, I recently created a new video with more no measure altered composition books since this one has been around for a while and many of the products I used no longer exist :( I added some new techniques like foiling too :) ruclips.net/video/xbkkIWImYw8/видео.html
Yay! Love to hear that! I updated this video with new ideas for the covers, adding foiling and using new products if you're interested you can check it out here: ruclips.net/video/xbkkIWImYw8/видео.html Still no measuring though lol!
Beautiful, but yet it was done with simplicity. TY for sharing I am making books for all of my nieces, and grandkids and was looking some ideas this was a big help@
Wow...what an amazing transformation of a simple notebook! And the end result was totally awesome! I would SO buy this cute composition book! No wonder your daughter loves these! She must be the most popular kid in her school with such a talented mom as you! Thank you for this tutorial, and for adding the links where I can get some of those awesome products you used!
I can’t believe this! I created a composition book similar to this last night. But, of course, your work is far superior! But I had the same idea! I didn’t use dividers. Very, very CUTE!
Wow, somebody who knows what she's doing. Thanks for this video. You made this so easy to follow. Some videos are so frustrating to watch. Thanks for sharing your time.😊
Thank you so much for watching! Be sure to subscribe to my channel because I have an updated version of this video with new products and ideas coming out next week! :)
These are adorable, I've just got done watching your other videos 🥰❤❣ I would give anything in the world if I could make some of these and have 9 of my granddaughters be able to go back to school to take with them. I don't think that my 8 Grandsons would like something like that not unless I could find some pattern paper with Basketball players or hot rods on it. My other 12 grandchildren are already out of school. I never thought in a million years that my children, grandchildren and Great grandchildren or myself, would ever go through something like this in our world. I'm really enjoying your videos, Thank You so much for sharing...
My daughter, even now at 15 loves when I make these! But yeah, my son could care less lol. I hope you give it a try, they are so much fun to do! I have a newer version of this project in a video here: ruclips.net/video/xbkkIWImYw8/видео.html which has more recent product suggestions if you are interested! :)
Girl, I love this project!! You are the bomb, okay!!😊 I love making Junk Journals out of composition notebooks and journal books. Now I am wanting to dabble more with making altered notebooks, smash books, prayer journals and any other type of book that I can create with a composition notebook. I have tried one altered notebook as a gift for a teacher and she loved it!! I don't know about a Bullet Journal because I am not great at doodling or drawing. I would have to use stencils or computer images or scrapbook cut outs or some sort of guide line for the calendar, etc... and add stickers, ephemera to give it life and color.
Lacresha Searcy so many awesome ideas!! Love them! I’ve been thinking about doing a part 2 to this video with fresh updated products. You definitely got my wheels turning again on this project. Thank you!!! ❤️
This is awesome! I've covered these kind of composition books before. And you make it look so much easier! 😁😂 Going now to check out your newer video. 😉 💛TR
New subscriber here! Altering composition books is my favorite thing to do. I love your style of no-stress, no-measure fun! :) Great idea about washi tape over the black binding - I had tried it in the past with poor results. Will try it again with adhesive (makes me think Duh! why didn't I think to do that, lol!).
Thanks for stopping by and subscribing! :) Yup, adhesive is a must for those bindings. They have such a weird waxy texture don't they? I was really struggling to keep anything stuck to them without using the adhesive. :)
thank you for making this project so approachable ...i hate measuring too. I'm going to try and make today with a modification.... will add some pockets on the divider pages.
Rebecca this is great! I get stressed out when I try to cover something and I think I will try this again. It seems when I cut something like that also I have a tendency to cut the note book. Do you? Thank you for the idea. Blessings to you :)
Thank you! I find I am way less likely to cut the notebook when I flip the page or cover so that I am looking at it from the back. This way I can see what is hanging off and only cut that. :)
Of course you can use whatever adhesive works for you. I use the tape runner I love because it holds really well! Some adhesives will not stand up over time. But you can try whatever you have around and see if it will work!
@@RebeccaKeppel Thank you so much. I am a 9 yrs Pancreatic Cancer survivor. I make and donate crochet baby afghans to my local Children's Hospital. So this is all new to and I'm actual nervous abt trying. What type do you use and canitbefound anywhere special? Thanks again!
@@tonidibernardo171 You are awesome! Don't be nervous! Just try one and see what is easiest for you! I list all the supplies I use in the description box above. And, I just posted an updated version of this video here: ruclips.net/video/xbkkIWImYw8/видео.html with some new products and new versions of this type of altered notebook.
Whitney L they are the We R Memory Keepers tab punch stickers. They are thick, clear stickers that coordinate perfectly with the tab punches. They really keep the tabs from getting dog eared! I have them linked in the description. :)
Here is a link to the Memory Runner XL (and refill) which is the main adhesive I use: • Memory Tape Runner XL™ --- ldli.co/e/0ykx5j [ THR ] • Therm O Web 5/16-Inch-by-600-Inch Memory Tape Runner XL Refill --- ldli.co/e/2yodem [ THR ]

That's how I cover mine - no measuring! ( Except I use a glue stick.) I love your papers. So pretty!
Measuring is such a drag lol! Glue stick is a great idea too! I am thinking about making a new version of this project with newer papers!
@@RebeccaKeppel - I know...lol. Nice....I'll watch for it.

It's a good thing I'm not an architect or something, right? Lol! A little mis-measurement on a notebook isnt the end of the world. :)
Love the no measure
I liked this one too 😌
I love how easy they are to make! And how cheap the notebooks are! lol My daughter uses one as a journal. I use one as an idea, lists notebook. :)
Fantastic idea. It turned out so pretty. tfs
Corinne Curtis thanks so much!! :)
You are very talented. Thanks for sharing.

Could you use your scraps to make the divider instead of a whole sheet?
I like this I'm not good with rulers either🌺🦋🌹
Great idea
LL Rudy thank you! :)
thank you for making this project so approachable ...i hate measuring too. I'm going to try and make today with a modification.... will add some pockets on the divider pages.

I just ran across your video. I am wanting to do this. I am just going to try thia. Van you use glue instead of what you use?

• Therm O Web 5/16-Inch-by-600-Inch Memory Tape Runner XL Refill

What was the glue you're using called? Most of the products in the links are out of stock :-(
