A beautiful project! Hearing your thought process as you work through the project is so refreshing! We all experiment and blunder a bit when making something new - thank you for not editing out your trial and error process with the page dividers!

[@candicesaravia6469]

I absolutely love how this notebook turned out. I'm definitely going to snag some composition notebooks while BTS shopping so I can make a few for my family & myself. I have so many paper pads to use up and this is a great way to do so! TFS & I can't wait to see your next project.

[@r-p-williams]

This is absolutely beautiful. To keep the ribbon from fraying, you can run a lighter across the ends to seal them.

[@scrapcraftastic]

Thank you!

[@QVCQUEEN1]

I love this I want to try one myself

[@scrapcraftastic]

Thank you! You should, it's really fun.

[@CoolCraftyCreations]

Glad you’re doing this video, although you’ve done many great altering videos on upgrading simple notebooks (ALL GREAT MIGHT I ADD). I’m in the process of making some upgrades to some of my composition notebooks for the purposes of commonplace notes with my doll stickers as sentiments and embellishments. By the way, did you know that HL is selling ALL of there Sixxix Die Cuts! I ran in my local one today and a lot of them were in clearance sections, just thought you should know. Also, the art department has the Master’s Touch art notebooks 40% off. ❤😊

[@scrapcraftastic]

Thank you! Good to know. I picked up a lot of the Sizzix dies that were on clearance at HL earlier this year. I'm going to go check and see if there is another round of clearance. 💕

[@scrapcraftastic]

Thank you so much 😀

[@susanbollinger2844]

The book turned out pretty. I usually glue my ribbon on the font and back before I cover the book. It’s easier.

[@susanbollinger2844]

I put beads on the ends of the ribbons

[@scrapcraftastic]

Thank you!

[@CajunPride777]

👍 Tip: You can use a lighter to burn the ends of your ribbon to keep it from fraying vs using glue

[@scrapcraftastic]

Great tip!

[@marciakaczmarek6761]

Just found your channel. This is super cute! Now I need to go binge watch your videos.

[@scrapcraftastic]

Welcome!! Thank you for watching!

[@leahgamble9037]

I saw a video where the person slightly burned the ends of the ribbon to prevent the fraying. Ty for the video

[@scrapcraftastic]

Yes, that can work. I'm a little nervous about the ribbon going up in flames though. 😊

[@TexJudy]

@@scrapcraftastic Hold the flame just close enough to melt the ribbon ends. As long as ribbon is synthetic, it should melt and you don't actually apply the flame.

[@prettyrichgirl2007]

Nice...

[@scrapcraftastic]

Thank you!

[@aprildomer422]

Hi! Love what you’re doing with the comp books! I like to fix them up too! How about making a pretty cardboard “ writing board” that you can keep in the back of the book to use when you have to write over the area that is lumpy ( from the from tuck spot) 😊💕

[@scrapcraftastic]

Thank you! I actually recently created a writing board. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGLXmp-letWAr6c

It's looks really nice. In your previous video and on IG I was wanting to know what the make and model of your big paper trimmer is please? Thanks

Hi 👋 where would I find the beginning composition video. I’m starting from scratch and brand new. She shared how to cover the notebook. Thanks so much for your help 😊

[@scrapcraftastic]

Thank you! The Petals + Blooms collection was sold at Hobby Lobby a few years ago.

[@gardeninggrandma5247]

This is a great idea! I was wondering how you did the front and back covers. Did you fold a paper in half and glue it over the front and back covers, the same way you did inside the notebook?

[@scrapcraftastic]

Thank you! No, here's how I did the covers kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKWplKOsl5qDb7M

[@mspris417thompson2]

This is a good idea. School supplies are out now. The composition books are 50 cents to a $1.00 now

[@scrapcraftastic]

Yes, and at the end of Back To School season, the will be even less.

[@susanconniry9247]

What brand are the two punches you use? And, where are they for sale? Thank you for the video.

[@scrapcraftastic]

The tag punch is The Paper Studio from Hobby Lobby. The tab punch is EK Success from Amazon amzn.to/47bHuKy

[@cynthiamaldonado8051]

Usually I'll fold the page in half or cut it in half, clue it , then glue the dividers. It will give you less bulk and way easier to glue.😊

[@scrapcraftastic]

Doesn't that leave a ridge in the center of the divider?

[@cynthiamaldonado8051]

@@scrapcraftastic Not anything noticeable. The paper is pretty thing.

[@minnesotagirl1473]

Gaaaaah...just love. I went to your shops, but didn't see any...do you ever sell your items that are made by you...like this composition notebook?

[@minnesotagirl1473]

Never mind... I found them

[@scrapcraftastic]

Thank you! I'm not selling the composition books yet. This was my first one. I will have some available in the future.

[@pennybrooks9038]

Can you tell what the smaller glue bottle is, please?

[@scrapcraftastic]

I believe you mean the ART GLITTER GLUE.

[@pennybrooks9038]

Yes Ma’am. Thank you

[@RoseAngella]

📓

[@scrapcraftastic]

❤❤❤😊

[@fazestorm4441]

Yes it is you just need to use elastic instead of ribbon

[@sandrarini4552]

Could you have trimmed down the book page a smidge so it wouldn’t stick oit?

[@scrapcraftastic]

Yes. Someone also suggested folding the page in half. I'm think trimming it to about 2 inches and then folding it in half to create a hinge similar to how mini albums are made.

[@fazestorm4441]

If you lightly dampen your paper before you fold it it won't crack

[@scrapcraftastic]

Thanks for the info.

[@fazestorm4441]

Was just going to say that

[@fazestorm4441]

Maybe elastic
