Let me just begin with what my heart hoots everytime I rest my eyes on one of those Katespade cuties - OHMYGOSH. I always needed one, but making one myself was far more easier. I'm not one for planners but I do like to have myself a couple lots of notebooks to do doodling and jot down creative ideas.
So onto the making:
DIY KATE SPADE KNOCKOFF NOTEBOOKS
You'll need for this DIY:
1.Black cardstock. You can also use black acrylic /spray paint buuut I found cardstock less messy
2.Gold paper. You know, just be creative with this one. I used some from a Godiva Chocolate gift box.
3.A Hole punch, Scissors, pencils, super glue, matte/glossy finish modpodge and a ruler
4.White paper (optional)
5.Binders/Notebooks/Notepads/Agendas that need glitzing up
How-To:
1.For the striped notebook: Stripes are my next favorites to florals, and Kate's black and white stripes top the list. I cut the cardstock into 3 cm. wide strips to fit the length of my notebook. I first had to cover my book with some white paper and you'd have to too if you are not beginning with a white one already. ;)
Line them up parallel marking with a ruler and pencil the white space's width equal to 3 cm too between the black stripes/stripes.
Give the whole cover a glossy finish of modpodge to give it that whole "Kate-Spade-y" luxe look. ;)
This acts as a sealant too and protects the whites of your cover.
2.For the gold polka dot: Punch circles through the gold paper and eyeballing equal spacing between them on the notebook, glue them down. Place the dots for the next line in between dots of the first line. Keep alternating them and seal in everything with a layer of modpodge again.
There we go!
You could probably pretty up the insides but for now but I'm leaving them blank for my vivid imagination to occupy later ;) Wanna learn how to make notepads from scratch? Check out this popular post of mine!
