Notebook Cover Kit
Notebook Cover Kit
Make your very own hand stitched notebook cover, unique to you! This handy cover fits an A6 sized notebook so is the perfect portable size to have with you wherever you go and even fits nicely in your back pocket! You can keep it for notes & doodles and replace the book when it’s filled up. The kit comes with a tab which is useful for holding a pen or pencil too but you could always leave this off if you prefer - that’s the beauty of making it yourself!
This is a great kit for anyone! Adult or child (12 years plus), male or female. A gift for someone special or just for yourself if you are quite crafty! The leather comes ready cut to size and the templates can be downloaded once you purchase the kit (if you would like to make it again).
All the materials and some tools are included in the kit so if you get the bug you will already have some tools to do some more! You have the choice of 5 different colours of leather for the cover and 4 colours for the thread, just select your choice in the options (if you would like a mixture like in the example, just add a note to your order).
Each kit comes with downloadable step by step instructions and a video tutorial so you cannot go wrong!
*ALL THE LEATHER IS VEGETABLE TANNED SO WILL DARKEN SLIGHTLY WITH AGE AND USE*
Please beware these kits are NOT SUITABLE FOR UNDER 12s due to the use of sharp tools.
See a taster of the video tutorial here.
