Aug 7, 2006. 6:57 AM REPLY I modified mine by making an elastic band around it--(elastic was $0.81 for a yard--too bad they only had black or white). You can see the way I did it in the pictures, but I'm sure its not the only way. I also didn't make it full size because I wanted a certain part of the record cover on the front, and it happened to be on the right front. I just cut the paper down.

Hahaha, thank you so much for giving other people the idea to use Herb Albert. I work in a used bookstore and we absolutely drown in his records. :P
JuCo says:
hahahaha... you have... or had that album?
chebang says:

Jul 21, 2007. 10:52 PM REPLY This is so cool!!! I've always wanted a nicely bound, hand made note book, but they are all way too expensive! thanks so much!

Jun 14, 2007. 10:45 AM REPLY Very nice! I will be trying this this the next time I need a new diary. I've been using acco folders & covers with 8 1/2x11 plain typing paper, but the metal acco clips eventually rip out the punched holes in the paper and sometimes the metal clips give up and die. I'd think a sewn book would be a bit more durable. (Especially as the diaries are something I keep basically forever.) Thanks for a good instructable!

Sep 2, 2006. 11:32 PM REPLY if only I could do this with engineering paper... those pads come apart with little force :/ I guess it has not bothered me enough to do anything about it :P Score: A --- well documented and a pretty good idea

May 24, 2007. 8:01 AM REPLY Engineering paper is SOOOOO pleasing to look at and use...... You could make notebooks of engineering paper, I guess it would depend on what you want it for. Fold it in half, sew it together, and it would make great notebooks and journals.
chebang says:
thanks. is engineering paper really thin?
trebuchet03 says:
May 24, 2007. 10:36 AM REPLY Not really... It's got a different rule. The back has a grid and the front just has margin and title areas. But, because of the back grid -- you can see the grid lines through the front to keep everything tidy and pro looking. It's yellowish paper, so when you photocopy, you don't see the grid lines and, depending on the machine, the photo copy is white - not yellow :) Here's http://www.utdallas.edu/~cantrell/ee4301/epaper.gif a terrible gif image of the front of a sheet :p

May 22, 2007. 4:33 PM REPLY Good job! I got it in my head I wanted to make books the other day and I have checked out books from the library, and scanned the internet and was still confused. This looks so easy the way you explain it!! Thank you. I can't wait to start.

Good thinking and a good idea.

Aug 2, 2006. 3:29 PM REPLY Could you do this with a manilla folder? That would be a very cheap way to do this bulk. That plus a visit to your local office to grab some paper, and then a visit to your fishing tacklebox for some cord. I prefer writing on nonlined paper, especially seeing as I am an Engineering major... Calculus doesn't fit within the lines. And Polymath, I think that the motivation behind this project wasn't money saving, but instead a drive to have what he wanted.
stuboo says:
I created a little web app that generates Cornell-Style note pages. http://eleven21.com/notetaker
As it turns out, another engineering student (named Ted) asked me to make the app generate horizonal lines on the front and vertical lines on the back so that when you need graph paper, you can actually see it through the paper. It's and old school technique but it's rad. If you want to try it out, just click "Do it up Ted Style" As the application is written, it wouldn't work well with the folding that you're doing in this instructable - but it's nothing a bit of creative photocopying couldnt take care of rather quickly. Nice work.

awesome... will come in handy...thanks
chebang says:
I love those pages. I already printed them out. thanks so much.
chebang says:
Aug 2, 2006. 5:55 PM REPLY all your modifications of would work great, except for the fishing line. It's too sharp and would cut your paper and binding holes. (I added this fact and the manilla folder option to the tutorial.) Also, it would be really hard to sew the booklets in tight, so they would be very loose in the notebook. Any cotton thread works great.
mikesty says:
Manilla folder + good stapling will accomplish this.
chebang says:
Aug 2, 2006. 5:42 PM REPLY Yes, this is true, but then it would not be the type of bookbinding I give the tutorial for. It would also not be the type of aesthetic I wanted for this particular notebook.

can i use lined paper with holes? Y/N

Mar 10, 2007. 10:20 AM REPLY This is cool. My son is an artist so I'll try to make him one (or more) using handmade papers, etc. I am an avid scrapbooker and card maker, so I will use some of the embellishments I have on hand for those hobbies to fancy up a book for myself. COOL! Thx 4 sharing.

Mar 7, 2007. 6:25 PM REPLY this is super easy and fun....thanks! i will definitely be using the technique and modifying much! oh yeah, and is there a good method for accomplishing this with 8 1/2 by 11 paper without simply making the whole thing smaller? i wanted a notebook with sheets of graph paper but only had standard notebook sized available....any suggestions? (and i realize i could just staple it or tie it or something, but i am asking for any suggestions using this particular technique)...thanks!
meibao says:
I did something similar but I used staples instead of sewing them, made my own diary.

Gonna make one right away!

FR35H says:
Pretty neato (lol) seriously I'm def going to make one of these great idea keep em' coming!
marissa says:
which wayy do you fold the paper?
chebang says:
i'm not sure what you mean. it doesn't matter, as long as it fits nicely in the cover
cl0ney says:
Aug 9, 2006. 8:27 PM REPLY Thanks for the post... Very cool indeed. I thought you might be interested to know that what you call a "booklet" is technically called a "signature." It's the little folded sections of paper inside of a thread-bound book.
Coleman! says:
is the reason your folios are so far apart because the cardboard can't stand for them to be closer? because i think a few strips of gaffer's tape on the inside(or outside..decorative!) could fix that right up.
chebang says:
Excellent suggestion. I'll do that next time. I didn't even think about this.
polymath says:
Aug 2, 2006. 1:14 PM REPLY How much did the copy paper cost or did you liberate it? I like the idea of having your own personalized note book but I don't see any cost savings when you add up time and material.
chebang says:
Aug 2, 2006. 5:46 PM REPLY i understand. edited. i already had all these things on hand. i figured most people reading this would have comparable materials at home, so they wouldn't have to go out and by anything.

Aug 2, 2006. 11:16 AM REPLY this is very sweet I think I'll make one out of cerial boxes also my mom buys the college ruled paper buy the truckload lol so I think I'll use some rings instead
chebang says:
Ruled paper always looks old school cool. A cereal box would be perfect. Rings are a great modification.
