Difficulty level: Beginner
Time to complete: 10 Minutes
Age range: 10 and Up

Things you’ll need:
Plain notebook (a black notebook works best, because it showcases the design)
Lace doily fabric
White spray paint
Painter’s tape

Things to do:
1. Tape along the edge of the first page of paper in your notebook, creating a protective frame.

2. Use the lace fabric to cover the entire front of your notebook. Wrap up the cover like a present, pulling the fabric tightly. Use painter’s tape to secure the fabric.

3. Run a piece of painter’s tape along the spiral binding on the cover of the notebook.

4. Go outside or to a well-ventilated area to spray paint your notebook. Spray a light layer of paint, and leave the notebook to dry.
