I believe this is the best video I have seen on covering these mini books. LOVE how you covered the corners.and of course this would work on larger size with dimensions adjusted TFS
Thanks for the great tutorial! I've covered many composition books, but I've never seen a method quite like this that looks so finished on the edges and inside. I love how you wrap the paper to the inside without making it a tedious process. (I can't stand it when my paper goes on slightly crooked and you can see the cover peeking through a tiny bit.) I'm definitely going to be trying out your method.
Love these little books. I like the way you put on the paper on the book. It seems a lot easier to me then others I have seen. How much do you charge for these? They are really nice.
I’ve not signed up for any yet but I simply googled “craft fairs and my town name” and so many listings came up! From the local church or high school band benefit to the larger community fall fest types. I’m going to work on building up an inventory and give it a try next spring. Good luck!
I adore these mini composition notepads. You do beautiful work including packaging. I don't see the mini pens in your description box. Do they all have black ink? First time viewer and new subscriber from Marshfield, MO.
I tend to make for feminine projects because that’s my customer. Not many men attend craft fairs. Try to find rustic papers or wood grain works well too.
Thanks! I sometimes get women looking for gifts for the men in their lives...I feel it’s an untapped market! Wood grain is good, and plaid. I guess it’s just so limited compared to the range of options we have for making pretty, feminine products!
Just wondering when was the last time you bought these notebooks. My Walmarts discontinued them months ago. They clearanced them out. I got a bunch then. I hope they bring them back. I love your craft videos. Such cute ideas.
Why not put your contact info sticker on the inside back cover of the part they KEEP? Most people discard the packaging long before they realize they want more or a custom order...
I have a question maybe you or someone can answer. I am new to crafting and this may seem like a dumb question but it looks like you use a 2" circle punch and then the starburst punch to make your sentiment on the front. I cannot find a size listed for the starburst punch. Is it also a 2"? I do not have any punches except for a 1" and a 1 1/2" circle punch and want to purchase some more and I was wondering what sizes would be good to have for layering to make journals like this. Thank you for your suggestions.
Hi Patricia. The Starburst punch measures 2 1/8" so it gives a nice border around the 2" circle. Other punches I recommend would be Starburst 1 3/8" , 1 1/8. Circle punches include 2 1/4, 2, 1 1/2, 1 1/2. I also really like to use the Everyday Label, Tailored Tag, Pretty Label. All are great punches, super easy to use, and also super quick. Thanks for asking this question. I'm sure others will like to know. Have a great evening.
Hi Karen, I love your idea of this little note pad. I was trying to find the clear bags you used and couldn't bring up the link. Could you help? Thanks
I just searched their website and these should work for you. Same size www.clearbags.com/4-5-8-x-5-3-4-flap-premium-eco-clear-bags-100-pieces-gc54.html
Hmm... for the spine pieces you say 3 1/4 x 4 1/2?? They are clearly smaller than 3 1/4.??? Correct dimension please, Thank you for sharing. Very good tutorial.
Just found you and like your teaching style. I looked at the pens you are using and there are a lot of bad reviews about them not writing. Have you had problems with this?
I am newly retired and getting more into craft fairs to augment my income. My question is, what is the stampingup copy right Angel policy?? Where do I get the stamp? Thank you for your help.
Hi Susan. Happy retirement! Please refer to Stampin' Up! Angel Policy. The stamp set you would want is Make A Difference, Item #146676. You can purchase at inspiredbygram.com
Great question. it's because the inside area has more width and leaves about 1/2 inch uncovered. Some crafters cover it; some don't. i like to cover the area.
Dollar Tree is where I found them, however, I have not seen them in a while. Party City is another location and also Walmart in their holiday aisle. Got a bunch during Valentine's
Thank you for your videos. These make great little gifts
I love the way you did these little mini composition books, I don't do craft shows but I like making things like this for family and friends as gifts

Hello, really enjoy your videos. Would like to take my crafts to area craft fairs. Any suggestions on how to get started would be appreciated.
Leslee Dixon I just kept a look out in my area, on Facebook, and local churches have them once a year and friends kept me informed.
I’ve not signed up for any yet but I simply googled “craft fairs and my town name” and so many listings came up! From the local church or high school band benefit to the larger community fall fest types. I’m going to work on building up an inventory and give it a try next spring. Good luck!
Buffy H I luv doing them u met so many interesting people both vendors and shoppers. Good luck!
Best of luck. Let us know how you do.
I agree!

Great project! Who doesn’t like a pretty notebook? Any ideas for making masculine covers as well? I always find it hard as most papers are feminine.

Love these, how would you price them? How much do you sell them for? Super cool idea!
$3 or 2 for $5
What do you use for a price? Add supply cost or by item? Like the no topper because adds cost. Doing my first this year.
I take all my supplies and double the price and then see how it fits into other items I am selling and adjust accordingly
Karen McNall thank you
Just wondering when was the last time you bought these notebooks. My Walmarts discontinued them months ago. They clearanced them out. I got a bunch then. I hope they bring them back. I love your craft videos. Such cute ideas.
I’ve never had a problem finding them and purchased about 3 weeks ago
I bought mine on Amazon. 24 in a pack for $15 or so. Just like the big ones with the marbled front.
Thanks. Hope they bring them back to my stores.
Why not put your contact info sticker on the inside back cover of the part they KEEP? Most people discard the packaging long before they realize they want more or a custom order...

how much do you sell them for?
In today's market, probably $3 - $4 each
Why the extra strips in the inside by the spine?
