Interesting cover for your notebook. Practical and convenient finishing format will make the daily planner more durable, pleasant to the touch, and also protect against mashing and unwanted dirt.
Denim Notebook

To start updating your notebook, prepare the following materials:
• notebook on a spring of A5 format;
• a piece of jeans (a trouser-leg from any old jeans, but always with a pocket);
• two small color ribbons + a narrow openwork ribbon of light tones;
• veil fabric or a trim of transparent tulle;
• dense fabric of green color;
• green felt-tip pen;
• button;
• sewing needle and brown thread No. 30;
• scissors;
• universal polymer glue.

Remove the cardboard base from the face and from the inside of the notebook, carefully revealing its mounting mechanism.

Then circle the cover on the denim and cut it along the outlined contour (without leaving any allowances or stock of fabric for hem).

Now sew the back pocket from your former jeans to this part. To get a certain contrast, it is better to turn this jeans blank on the other side (upside down).

Soft and airy fabrics will help brighten up such a cover. From the veil you need to make a small flower for which to cut 5-6 round blanks of different sizes.

Leaflets are best made from any elastic fabric (you can take artificial leather or suede in a suitable color) so as not to additionally process or hem the edges of such small details. Just draw the veins with a felt-tip pen and your leaves will have a pretty decent look.

Now grease the cardboard surface with glue and attach a soft base with a pocket on it (and on the back of the cardboard cover without a pocket).

Sew the flower in the lower right corner of the pocket, fixing the thread inside it. Leaflets can simply be glued.

When the two parts of the cover dry well, take an awl or nail scissors and pierce the fabric in the places where these parts are attached with springs.

Then carefully put the cover back in place, first stringing the back (after and the front) wall back onto the spring. In the end, be sure to tightly close this mechanism.

Glue the lace to your pocket, and make a bookmark from the remaining ribbons (optional).

You can simply pin it over a pocket with a stationery pin, and if there is a need to mark any page, you need to remove the tape and tie it on the inside of the spring.

So quickly, from a regular notebook, you get a completely creative notebook. And in the pocket you can fold pens, pencils, felt-tip pens and other improvised stationery.

    I didn’t know what to do with old jeans. I read this article and also decorated a notebook with them. It turned out very unusual and beautiful, I like it.
