Each person over time forms personal preferences for the design of his notes. Some people like to write down their thoughts in a diary, others just in a common notebook, and young girls most often use beautiful notebooks for this. Today we’ll try to make a personal diary with our own hands. After all, a thing done with one’s own hand carries a positive charge. And if there was a desire to keep a personal diary, then the opportunity came to try to make a notebook suitable for these purposes with your own hands.
Getting to work
So, we make a personal diary with our own hands. Of course, the format that will be offered today is more suitable for young girls, but sometimes the love of bright colors does not go away even with age. It’s not so easy to make such a notebook.
Stage one
We select multicolored and white paper, cardboard, scrapbooking paper and colored cage paper to our taste. Envelopes are also useful in which you can save important and dear to your heart notes, as well as other pleasant little things. Bright pages from fashion magazines can be used to place memorable photos, movie tickets on them that left a pleasant memory, etc. You can also paste photos of memorable meetings, parties or beloved friends into your personal diary with your own hands.
Stage Two
Now we are making pages of our future notebook. It will be more interesting if some of them are slightly smaller than the standard size of the notebook. If the farm has a hole punch or curly scissors, you can interestingly process the edges of some pages. Having received a bright pile of paper, we move on to the next step.
Stage Three and Four
Next, lay out multi-colored pages so that the colors alternate. The main part of the notebook is almost ready.
A personal diary, created with your own hands, should have an unusually beautiful cover. A simple option is to simply use colored cardboard of your favorite color. And if you complicate it, then you can create a felt cover. To do this, take a piece of felt, a piece of cardboard, stiffer paper for the design of bookends and quick-drying glue for fabric and paper. Two covers should be cut out of cardboard, which are 1 cm larger than the main block of the future diary. We cut the felt cover with allowances of 1 cm on each edge. We lubricate the edges of the felt cover with glue and, tucking them, glue to cardboard. For additional decor and strength, we sew the edges of the cover with colored thread. Thicker paper for flyleaf design
to bring to the desired size. Now we punch holes on it and the cover with a hole punch and fasten the bookends with the cover.
Fifth stage
Decorate the cover. Everything will come in handy: buttons, pictures, beads, ribbons, flowers, as well as fantasy. The next step is to fasten the diary. For this, split rings or decorative rubber are suitable. Finally, a colorful personal diary, done with your own hands and your efforts, is ready!
In conclusion
You can draw up your diary inside as you fill it out. Depending on the mood and thoughts that will be contained inside the notebook, its internal design will vary. Having made a personal diary with your own hands, you will understand how much more pleasant it is to write down thoughts and experiences on the pages of a notebook radiating positive energy!
