Hello, good friends! A new week is starting and I hope everyone of you is returning to the #DIYHub with all those energies up.
I was meant to post this content yesterday, but I spent the day cleaning and then i had this terrible allergy crisis. Sneezing all day was exhausting!
Anyway, here I am to share with you my work.
I am a writer, and I always need some paper to write down my thoughts. Also, as this weekend comes, I have to do this trip to see my father and I'll spend the weekend with him. So, I'll try to do some writing while I'm there. That's what I made this small notebook.
These are the material I used:
- Thin Cardboard.
- Acetate.
- Ribbons.
- Needle and Thread.
- Pencil and Eraser.
- Scissors.
- Brushes and Paint.
- White Sheets.
- Silicone.
- Ruler.
The first thing I did was cutting out the thin cardboard using a ruler for guidance.
Then, I cut out the acetate like 5 millimeters long.
I used some white sheets I had, and I cut them out the same measure as the cardboard.
I decided to draw the cardboard which is the cover for this notebook. As a writer, I thought that the most adequate was a feather and an ink bottle. My drawings are not the best, but I tried to do an effort to get them nice.
With the help of an eyeliner and a brush, I painted the cover. I used some white, and black paint. I also mixed some to get some gray and spread it around the cover.
To join the sheets, I used a needle and thread. I sewed them together and I drew some dots to guide.
Then, I also sewed the cover and the acetate on three specific parts of the notebook.
For the spine of the notebook, I used this blue ribbon which was already folded. I took some silicone and I glued it on the spine of the notebook.
Then, I cut out two ribbons in a small size. One I glued it in the cover and a the other on the back. This is for when I am not writing on it, I just make a knot for privacy.
And finally, I had it ready for some verses.
This was really easy to do, and if my drawing skills were better I would make a chapbook.
I hope you've enjoyed this content, guys. It was a pleasure.
