School time is a responsible and important time. To succeed in study and creativity, you need to seriously prepare. You can help your child adapt and gain self-confidence by taking care of the little things. Bright pens and pencils, a bizarre-shaped pencil case, colored covers for notebooks, bookmarks, and a fashionable satchel will cheer the primary school student. The smallest perceive school as a fun game, which is why it is so important to maintain a warm atmosphere in attitudes towards school.
When choosing stationery, it is necessary to take into account the opinion of the class teacher and teachers about the preferred color scheme, as well as the policy of the institution. Some lyceums and gymnasiums recommend the use of company diaries and notebooks containing the symbols of this educational institution. In other cases, both the cover for the notebook and the notebook itself can be bright and colored.
Children of any age strive for originality and try to look original. An interesting idea for self-expression will be the cover of a school notebook, decorated by hand.
For decoration, you can use improvised materials and create anything using any kind of needlework. Scrapbooking, origami, dizzy, sewing, embroidery, applique, spot painting - everyone chooses for himself what is closer to him. The cover for the notebook can be made of beautiful wrapping paper or satin ribbons and lace, as well as decorated with paper flowers.
The case for a notebook or notepad, sewn from felt and decorated with buttons, looks original and attractive.
This cover for a notebook was created using materials:
- wool felt;
- roulette;
- washable fabric marker ;
- scissors, needle, thread for embroidery;
- textile glue;
- buttons of different sizes and colors;
- safety pins.
Using a tape measure, measure the notebook and cut the main workpiece from the felt. You will get a part whose length will be 3.5 times the width of the notebook, and the height is 2 cm more than its height.
From the scraps, select a small rectangle of felt, from which you get a stand for the handle.
Lay out the fabric on the table and put the opened notebook on it, wrap the cover with felt, fix the edges with pins, fold the notebook or notebook.
On the fold of the front of the future case, mark with a marker the location of the cut into which the stand for the handle will be sewn.
If you do not have a special marker, use chalk or a bar of dry soap.
Insert the free ends of the small rectangle with the handle clamped into the cut and secure it with a pin.
Sew the holder for the handle manually or using a sewing machine.
Select the buttons for the image, glue each of them with fabric glue, and after the glue dries, sew beautifully with colored thread.
You can beautifully decorate the case and connect its sides with a loop seam.
A little patience, perseverance and imagination, and the original cover for a notebook or notebook pleases the eye!
You can start creating jewelry for a notebook with your child, and a beautiful case can be an addition to a handmade gift.
