Today I’m bringing you Episode 9 in my Craft Fair 2019 Series. I love how these Mini-Composition Notebooks came together. They make great gifts and are a wonderful seller for me at my craft fairs. I used a lot of retired Designer Series Paper. I love the quality, designs, and versatility of our paper.

Thanks for the great tutorial! I've covered many composition books, but I've never seen a method quite like this that looks so finished on the edges and inside. I love how you wrap the paper to the inside without making it a tedious process. (I can't stand it when my paper goes on slightly crooked and you can see the cover peeking through a tiny bit.) I'm definitely going to be trying out your method.

Great project! Who doesn’t like a pretty notebook? Any ideas for making masculine covers as well? I always find it hard as most papers are feminine.

@karenmcnall 4 жыл бұрын

I tend to make for feminine projects because that’s my customer. Not many men attend craft fairs. Try to find rustic papers or wood grain works well too.

@bhavinishah7774 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I sometimes get women looking for gifts for the men in their lives...I feel it’s an untapped market! Wood grain is good, and plaid. I guess it’s just so limited compared to the range of options we have for making pretty, feminine products!

I have a question maybe you or someone can answer. I am new to crafting and this may seem like a dumb question but it looks like you use a 2" circle punch and then the starburst punch to make your sentiment on the front. I cannot find a size listed for the starburst punch. Is it also a 2"? I do not have any punches except for a 1" and a 1 1/2" circle punch and want to purchase some more and I was wondering what sizes would be good to have for layering to make journals like this. Thank you for your suggestions.

@karenmcnall 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Patricia. The Starburst punch measures 2 1/8" so it gives a nice border around the 2" circle. Other punches I recommend would be Starburst 1 3/8" , 1 1/8. Circle punches include 2 1/4, 2, 1 1/2, 1 1/2. I also really like to use the Everyday Label, Tailored Tag, Pretty Label. All are great punches, super easy to use, and also super quick. Thanks for asking this question. I'm sure others will like to know. Have a great evening.

What do you use for a price? Add supply cost or by item? Like the no topper because adds cost. Doing my first this year.
