So, instead of sitting around and moping about my too plain notebooks (which cost just 20 cents each, by the way) I decided to cover them with paper and at least try to give them a little personality.
Of course, I couldn't stop there. What about my ugly plain BIC pens? Those got the glue and paper, too. I love how they turned out. I got a lot of compliments on them today at school.
It feels great to see them all finished...And, I love that no one else had matching notebooks with me (I know, I know. I should be paying attention to school and not people's school supplies...But, I can't help myself).
I'm participating in Kimba's DIY day and Hooked on Houses blog party.

super cute!!! scrapbook paper is awesome!!
I LOVE these. Way to go my dear.
Hi Erika,
How did you cover the notebooks w/o them buckling from wet glue or Modge Podge? And what did you use to attach the paper to the pens? Inquiring minds want to know ... lol!
Too creative!! My daughter saw that and now she is hounding me!! Great idea!! :0)
That was a really good idea. I could take it a step farther and tie some ribbon knots into the spiral binding. Cute!! I would have never thought of doing that to the pens!
Very good idea! I think these turned out cuter than the one in the stores!
Oh, so creative! When I was a kid I never got the fancy notebooks or folders, but my mom did buy some stickers and we decorated our folders and notebooks this way. So gotta know, did the scrapbook paper cost more than the actual notebook? Teehee!
Super cute. I LOVE the name of your blog, by the way! It totally cracks me up!
Boy do I love those bics. Anybody that stands still at your place just might get papered.
Great idea to dress up plain notebooks and pens :-)
Which reminds me.... I need to buy some school supplies too!! I can't believe I'm going to be a student again....
