I have a pair of little scribblers here in my house. Always writing notes, drawing sketches, taking down ideas. And they love little notebooks to write their words and pictures in. These little playing card notebooks are so much fun to make and pocket sized for easy toting and perfect for their scribbles. I bet your little artists and writers will love them just as much.

Difficulty level: Moderate
Time required: 15 minutes

Things you’ll need:
Blank paper
Double sided tape
Playing cards
Washi tape
Pencil or pen
Scissors

Things to do:
1. Carefully trace the outline of the card onto the paper at one end. Repeat, running across the end of the page.


2. Fold the paper just at the top edge of the outline of the card so that when you cut them out you’ll have a doubled card shape piece of paper.

3. Repeat until you have enough pages for your book. Fold each in half.

4. Cut the double sided tape into thin strips. Lay the tape at the top edge of one of the folded pieces of paper and top with another. Repeat until you have a nice stack of folded papers.

5. Apply double sided tape to the back side of two cards and press them onto the first and last page of the stack of papers.
6. Cut a piece of washi tape longer than the top of the card.

7. Lay it along the top edge and then fold over to the back to bind the book. Trim away the excess tape.
