YAY! Tutorial!!!!!!! Today I was sitting in my living room wanting to do a Halloween inspired craft... and I decided on refurbishing a dollar store note book that I had on hand :).  
What you need (or more like what I used): Notebook, Magazines, Scrapbook paper and origami paper... You can use ANYTHING! Have fun with it!!
|  | 
| Stuff! | 
 I used a piece of scrapbook paper to cover the book fully... I think the pictures explain it pretty well :) :
|  | 
| Step 1 | 
 Fold the paper over the edges of the book so the book can close. (this is important, you WANT THE BOOK TO BE ABLE TO BE CLOSED!) lol
|  | 
| Step 2 | 
 I made two small slices in the top so that the cover will lay nicer then it's all folded.
|  | 
| Step 3 | 
 Glue the outer edge down! (This is optional, if you are wanting to remove the cover don't to this!)
|  | 
| Step 4 | 
 Fold the top and bottom edge in between cover and book (this allows it to lay nicely and be moveable) 
|  | 
| Step 5 | 
 DECORATE!!! I used orange paper and Black (from a magazine image) and cut out fun designs.
|  | 
| Step 6: Halloweenish decor! | 
 YAY Halloween LOL!
|  | 
| Step 7 | 
 Once I had the decorations done that I likes, I decided I wanted to write something on the cover instead of putting more designs on it.
|  | 
| Final Product!!! | 
Well, not a very in depth or hard tutorial, but fun none the less.... now I think I'll use it for planning all my fun halloweeny stuff!
Until Next Time!
Keep Creating!!
