DIY | Metallic Typography Notebooks

It's back to school season and I found myself wanting some fancy new notebooks to ease myself back into the study mood (cue groan).

Can you believe how expensive some of the notebooks are these days? I saw a 5-subject one going for about $4 and cringed...it didn't seem to be part of the back to school sale. I ended up finding a pack of 6 wide-ruled 1-subject notebooks for, wait for it...97 cents! SCORE!

I've been really into minimalism and typography lately so I decided to just keep it simple by just using the subject name. :)

DIY | Recycled Pocket Notebook

I'm always on the lookout for new ideas and inspiration but I can't tell you how many times inspiration strikes at the most inopportune time: when I'm out and about but there is (of course) no paper to be found. I often end up scribbling it down on a questionably wrinkly napkin only to lose it in the depths of my black hole  purse.

In this tutorial, I'll show you how to make a simple, portable, pocket notebook perfect for jotting down ideas and inspiration using recycled scraps!
