Ankara Fabric Covered Notepads

do it yourself What would you need? A Notepad (Here, I didn't use the wire - bound ones, but watch this space for that follow up post.) Fabric GLUE Bias Trimming (You could however use lace trimming, or ribbons) Brush to spread out the glue evenly Process: Spread out the notepad on the fabric. Trim out just enough so that what you have left can cover up the insides of the cover neatly With your scissors, cut out two lines at the margin (DO NOT trim the dangling piece off!) Apply the glue and spread out the glue evenly without changing the position of the book.(please! whatever you do, DO NOT apply too much or too little glue! if you apply too much, you'll have the glue peeking through your fabric after you're done - not a pretty sight. Plus, if you do not spread out evenly, you'll encounter little 'glue bumps on the road') Bend the book over firmly, and press onto the fabric. I began with the left-hand side of the book. Apply some more glue on the inside cover: top, bottom and side and simply firmly drag, fold over and press the fabric onto the inside cover of the book. With your bias trimming/lace/ribbon, cover up the rough edges of the 'fold' Do same for the right - hand side of the book and this is what you'll have (notice the dangling pieces I asked you not to trim off?) With a sharp object (I used a machine needle), tuck in the 'dangling pieces at the margin inwards after applying a little glue to the margin top with a toothpick or something.)
