Each person eventually develops personal preferences for the design of their records. Some people like to write down their thoughts in a diary, others just in a common notebook, and young girls most often use beautiful notebooks for this. Today we will try to make a personal diary with our own hands. After all, a thing made with one's own hand carries a positive charge. And if there was a desire to start a personal diary, then the case came to try to make a notepad suitable for these purposes with your own hands.

Getting Started

So, we make a personal diary with our own hands. Of course, such a format, which will be offered today, is more suitable for young girls, but sometimes the love for bright colors does not go away even with age. It is not so easy to make such a quality notebook.

Stage one

We select multi-colored and white paper, cardboard, scrapbooking paper and colored paper in a cage to your taste. Envelopes will also come in handy in which it will be possible to save important and dear notes, andand other nice little things. Bright pages from fashion magazines can be used to place memorable photos on them, movie tickets that left a pleasant memory, etc. You can also paste photos of memorable meetings, parties or beloved girlfriends into your personal diary.

Stage Two

Now we are making the pages of our future notebook. It will be more interesting if some of them are slightly smaller than the standard notebook size. If the household has a hole punch or curly scissors, it can be interesting to process the edges of some pages. After receiving a bright pile of paper, we move on to the next step.

Stage three and four

Next, lay out the multi-colored pages so that the colors alternate. The main part of the notebook is almost ready.

A personal diary created by one's own hands should have an unusually beautiful cover. An easy option is to simply use colored cardstock in your favorite color. And if you complicate it, you can create a felt cover. To do this, we take a piece of felt, a piece of cardboard, stiffer paper for the design of endpapers and quick-drying glue for fabric and paper. From cardboard, you need to cut out two covers, which are 1 cm larger than the main block of the future diary. We cut out the felt cover with allowances of 1 cm along each edge. Lubricate the edges of the felt cover with glue and, tucking them, glue them to the cardboard. For additional decor and strength, we sew the edges of the cover with colored thread. Thicker paper for flyleaf design

in bring to the desired size. Now we punch holes on it and the cover with a hole punch and fasten the endpapers to the cover.

Stage Five

Decorate the cover. Everything will come in handy: buttons, pictures, beads, ribbons, flowers, as well as fantasy. The next step is to bind the diary. Split rings or decorative elastic are suitable for this. Finally, a colorful personal diary, made with your own hands and with your own efforts, is ready!

And finally

You can design your diary inside as it is filled. Depending on the mood and thoughts that will be contained inside the notebook, its internal design will also vary. Having made a personal diary with your own hands, you will understand how much more pleasant it is to write down thoughts and experiences on the pages of a notebook that radiates positive energy!
