Felt Notebook Covers



Reorganizing my craft supplies always inspires me. I'm sure this is partly due to the fact that I forget that I have all of these supplies ready to go. I was looking for some beads and happened upon my drawer full of felt. I originally bought the felt for Hailey. She wanted some for something and I am always willing to go shopping for supplies. As usual, I could not decide on which colors to buy so I bought a whole stack.

I just love making these little notebook covers. I have made these for teachers gifts and they have been so well received. Once I cut out the felt, I put my embellishments on. I learned the hard way about doing this the opposite way. Once the embellishments are on, I top stitch the cover with embroidery floss.

The nicest thing about these is that when the paper is used up, all you have to do is run down to your local drug or stationery store to buy another one. Surprisingly, these little covers hold up well in your purse or bag. You can check these out in my etsy store.
