This week is the final post on Composition Notebook Redo’s. I thought it would be fun to finish up with some fabric. What is better to use than scraps! I am always looking for an excuse to use up scraps. I have this weird condition where I refuse to throw anything out, because I am absolutely sure I am going to need it one day. It’s not fatal but there is no cure and I do believe it was passed down genetically from my mother. ;D

So here we go!

Things you need:

Fabric Scraps
Mod-Podge or Elmer’s glue
Scissors
Optional: Stickles Glitter Glue or Puff Paint
Composition Notebook

Steps:

Gather Supplies
Pick your favorite fabric scraps
Cut fabric into squares of various sizes. I was not careful in any way. You can cut perfect squares, I just chose to do the cover with a bit more random bits.
Use a brush and add a layer of Mod-Podge or Elmer’s glue to a small area of your notebook. Then line up the squares and start to add fabric to the Mod Podged area. I started from the inside moving out so. That way if your scraps do not line up perfectly you can just trim the excess off.
Keep adding squares…
Add Some More… Make sure all pieces are completely glued down, cover with mod podge again if you want to be extra sure.
Keep on going.. add some more…
Until…It is finally all covered
Let dry completely.
Once it is dry, I added a border line around all the small pieces with stickles glitter glue. I even highlighted the random scraps to fill in the weird gaps.
