Cover for a notebook - how to make your child's world brighter?

School time is a responsible and important time. To succeed in learning and creativity, you need to seriously prepare. You can help the child to adapt and gain self-confidence by taking care of small things. The pupil of the junior classes will be cheerful with bright pens and pencils, a fanciful case, color covers for notebooks, bookmarks and a fashionable satchel. The smallest perceive learning as a fun game, which is why it is so important to maintain a warm atmosphere of attitudes towards school.

When choosing office supplies, it is necessary to take into account the opinion of the class teacher and teachers about the preferred color scheme, as well as the policy of the educational institution. Some lyceums and gymnasiums recommend the use of branded diaries and notebooks containing the symbolism of this institution. In other cases, bright and colored can be both a cover for the notebook, and the notebook itself.

Children of any age tend to be unique and try to look original. An interesting idea for self-expression will be the cover of a school notebook, hand-made.

For decoration, you can use improvised materials and create anything using any kind of needlework. Scrapbooking, origami, izonit, sewing, embroidery, applique, dot painting - everyone chooses for themselves what is closer to him. The cover for the notebook can be made from beautiful wrapping paper or from satin ribbons and lace, and also decorated with paper flowers. Original and attractive looks a case for a notebook or notebook, made of felt and decorated with buttons.

• Wool felt;
• roulette;
• A washable marker for the fabric ;
• Scissors, needle, thread for embroidery;
• Textile glue;
• Buttons of different size and color;
• Safety pins.

Using a tape measure, measure the notepad and cut out the main workpiece from the felt. The result is a part whose length is 3.5 times the width of the notepad, and the height is 2 cm larger than its height.

From the scraps, select a small rectangle of felt, from which you will get a stand for the handle.

Place the cloth on the table and place an open notebook on it, wrap the felt cover, fix the edges with pins, fold the notebook or notepad.

At the fold of the front of the future case, mark the place of the cut with the marker, into which the penholder will be sewn.

If you do not have a special marker, use chalk or a piece of dry soap.

Insert the loose ends of the small rectangle with the clamped handle into the section and fix it with a pin. The handle holder is sewn by hand or using a sewing machine.

Select the buttons to draw a picture, glue each of them with adhesive for the fabric, and after drying the glue, beautifully sew with a colored thread. Beautifully decorate the case and connect its sides with a stitch.
