Making mini-notebooks is kind of fun, and leaves you with a nifty little thing in which to write stuff, without having to run to the store, and these are completely customizable! As long as you have a card, or a sheet of card stock, this will work.
That being said, you will also need several sheets of notebook paper.
Get said notebook paper, and trim it to size. My card was conveniently sized for cutting the notebook paper in half, and then folding it. You do whatever will fit your card best.
Fold it in half, like so. You want your pages to be in two even piles now.
As shown here, cut a slit down the middle of the fold. It doesn't have to be perfect, but leave plenty of room on the ends.
On the OTHER stack of paper, cut the ends to where the slit ended on your first stack, like so.
Now, put your two stacks together, like so. Push it all the way through, fold and flatten it.
At this point, the only thing really left to do is put a cover on your notebook.
If you want more pages than 10, you will need to make several separate stacks of pages, then sew them together. I didn't do that here, but it can be done.
I made several of these notebooks- each of those piles got a separate cover.
All that remains for you to do is to cover the inside of the card with glue, sandwich the pages in the middle, and put it under a nice, heavy book for a few hours while it dries. When it's dry, your notebook is done!
