Instructions
- Cut your paper to the size of your notebook's cover, using the ruler to help you measure out the correct size.
- If desired, cut any smaller shapes to decorate the front using scissors and the cardstock. Set aside.
- Place wax or parchment paper underneath the cover. Apply Mod Podge to the front of the notebook with a paintbrush. Carefully line up the paper on your notebook, and smooth it into place, wiping away any Mod Podge that comes out the sides. Let dry 15 - 20 minutes.

- Use Mod Podge to glue the die cuts to the front of the notebook. Let dry.
- Seal the front of the notebook with a coat of Mod Podge and let dry. Spray with acrylic spray if desired to reduce tackiness until fully cured.
- Use washi tape to add to the binding of the notebook. If you find it's not sticking, seal it with Mod Podge.
