Easy Notebooks to Make

If you, like me, have extra copy paper around (and watch here for free paper deals at Staples) you can make notebooks for your shoeboxes!

There is a great tutorial at http://www.kristanlynn.com/search/label/tutorial?updated-max=2011-04-15T21:44:00-05:00&max-results=20

This method uses a sewing machine and looks SO nice when finished. You can also make them simply with a stapler, then attach the edge paper over the binding to cover the staples.

Notebooks can be SUCH a blessing for a child who wants to go to school. If you can't include a full size notebook a couple of these would be so helpful!

Another idea is that I often include a coloring page of Jesus and the Children for either the cover or the first page of the notebook. Feel free to personalize these any ways you want.
