your book diy

    I know A LOT of bloggers also love to write stories I usually plan it all out in my head and by the end of the first chapter I usually stop and never finish,but I thought up one and I'm GOING to finish it no matter how long it takes. So heres a sort of DIY on how to make a ordinary notebook into your book.

                         
                                               Things you'll need:
                                                      a notebook
                                                           glue
                                     colored paper/scrapbooking paper
                                   a special pen/markers/or colored pens
                                    Whatever else that catches your fancy
                                              

        Step 1 : Get a notebook you can get them pretty cheap and even cheaper on the back to school sales.






Step 2 : Plan your design,find your color scheme you want to go for,get the paper and other accessories that will flow with it.






Step 3: Cut out your paper and lay it out how you'll want it and look at it a while.....try to find places that look to empty or to cluttered,think of creative things you can change or do to enhance your design. for instance instead of cutting a nice straight line how about ripping the papers edges to give it a nice touch.
Example:



Step 5: Decide on look, write your title, etc.... then glue on your design.

 You can even change the direction and make it a journal instead. =)

Enjoy making your own book.
