Make a diary with your own hands. Where to start?

The first thing to do is to decide on the size and shape of the product. As a rule, these are rectangular notebooks of medium thickness with up to four hundred sheets (so that one sheet is enough for every day). But female representatives will love the heart-shaped diary,flower or just curly shape.

Next, decide which sheets you will fill the inside of the notebook. They can be plain white, with markings, newsprint or offset. You can also make a diary with your own hands from a notebook in a cage or a line.

The process of making a personal notebook for notes

Make two pieces of thick cardboard for the cover. For the same dimensions (or slightly smaller), cut out the required number of double sheets. Connect them with a stapler according to the principle of making a notebook of 10-15 pieces. Next, fold these blocks of notebooks on top of each other, placing cardboard parts of the cover on top and bottom, and fasten them through the staples with a thin wire or fishing line. Then glue them all together with the end side to the piece of bandage with Dragon or Titan glue.
