How to Make a Pocket Notebook

Pocket notebooks come in handy when you have an idea or information that you need to jot down quickly. Pocket notebooks are small and easily fit into a pocket--hence the name--so they are easily accessible. Pocket notebooks can be helpful for anyone, whether they be a business owner or a student. The best part is that they can be easily made with items around your home.

Things You'll Need

• 4 sheets of loose-leaf notebook paper
• Cereal box with fun designs

Instructions

1. Place all four sheets of notebook paper out in front of you as though you are about to write on them. Fold each sheet of blank notebook paper in half vertically.

2. Put all of the folded sheets of paper together, with the crease side facing upwards. Fold the papers in half horizontally again while they are together.

3. Use scissors to cut along the top crease that was made when the papers were folded vertically. This will separate each page so that they open properly. Do not cut the crease that separates each page.

4. Cut out a rectangle from a cereal box (or fruit snacks, cookies or any other type of thin, cardboard food box). The rectangle should be about half an inch wider than your folded sheets of paper.

5. Lay the cardboard piece on top of the pages with the design side facing up. Pick the pages up and fold the cardboard piece in half along the blank sheets of paper to make a cover.
