Ugly Notebook? Alter It!

I'm sure all of you have at least one notebook with an awful cover - but great pages.

A long time ago I found a cheap notebook with perfect packing paper pages. The cover was plain black but I really didn't liked how it looked.. It was totally uninspiring! Today I decided to tear out all the pages and throw away this awful cover - I know I could just decorate it - but there was something about the shape of this notebook that I really didn't like..

 I decided not to change the size of it (bit bigger that A5) so I had to use my binder :)

 And as you can see on the photo above I used an elastic band for the first time with a binded notebook! And I have to admit it was very hard to attach it! Eventually I sewed it to the back cover by my sewing machine - still it wasn't easy! :)

 I will use this notebook as a sketchbook for watercolour simple doodles..

 and maybe some calligraphy.. oh I missed this little art so much.. :)

I hope this lovely cover will inspire me to carry it everywhere and draw doodles of things which surround me.. I always so full of inspiration when I look through sketchbooks of other people.. I hope one day I will inspire someone! ;d

Have a nice and warm Sunday! Here the weather is just amazingly weird.. It snows, rains and the sun is shinning.. everything changing every half an hour! ;o
