For notebook covers

Notebook one: Before/front 

Notebook one: Before/back 

Here are two notebook cover-ups, which I have made quite recently.

As materials for the first notebook, I used a paper gift bag to cover the old original cover. I also added an elastic band plus the metal ring from another old notebook.

I really liked the pattern on the paper bag, even though it looks a bit confusing but the colors were nice.

As the material for the second notebook, I used a bit of gift paper, which I had saved. 
(If you have some nice looking gift paper as left over you could use it to decorate or cover a notebook.)

I used this to add a final touch for both of the notebooks.
