Altered Date Books

A fast and inexpensive gift you can create in minutes!! I bought these Date Books for under $1 apiece!
Supplies:
Inexpensive Date Books
Patterned Paper and/or Bazzill
Embellishments
Cheetah

If applicable, remove vinyl cover from Date Book. Open Date Book and flatten down at center and measure length and width, leaving a bit extra width to accomodate for the fold. Cut to size using a paper trimmer. Take a 2 inch Cheetah and apply adhesive on cover of book, making sure that all the edges are covered completely with adhesive. For this datebook I used Bazzill.

Once the Date Book is completely covered with adhesive, carefully place the cardstock or patterned paper over the cover and press down to cover the Date Book with the new paper. Make sure that the spine of the book is adhered well. Fold the Date Book and trim any paper that is not exactly flush with the edges of the Date Book. Now comes the fun part - embellish as desired. I made a bunch of these for the ladies I work with, using Thickers to monogram. Once completed slide Date Book back into vinyl cover.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas!
