Make your own Moleskine-like notebook
By badbadivyI had a Moleskine notebook. It was beyond fabulous, I absolutely loved it. Then I managed to lose it. I about cried, because Moleskine notebooks are expensive. Fortunately, I can now make my own Moleskine-like notebook, thanks to Michael Shannon. The equipment needed isn't too odd, and even though there are a lot of steps, it seems to be simple enough to be able to do on my own. Here's the materials list:
Materials Needed:
- 24 sheets of paper 8.5 x 11 inches
- One 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of a "special" paper.
- A piece of Naugahyde that measures 9 x 5 5/8 inches.
- Cheesecloth or an open weave fabric approximately 1.5 x 5 inches
- Upholstery thread.
- A small sheet of Wax paper or glassine paper.
Tools Needed:
- A bookbinders needle.
- Beeswax.
- A bookbinders awl.
- Adhesive.
- Xacto knife
- Ruler
- T-square and triangle
- Heavy books.
- Bone folder
- Binder clips
Nope, not too bad at all. Head on over and get the instructions to make your own.
