Step 2.

Sew the two parts together until you reach about 3/4 of it.

Measure with the notebook if the height is OK. You should have about 2.5 cm to the notebook spire.

Step 3.

Put the ribbon here …

Step 4.

Continue sewing for another 3 cm then fold the felt backward…

And sew the parts together. This way, the upper part will be stronger.

Do the same on the other part.

The Cover will look like this.

Now separate the default covers of the notebook and put them between the ribbon and felt.

Step 5.

Of course! Let’s make a bunny! Draw a head with 2 long ears and two small paws on fabric.

Cut them out.

Step 6.

Start sewing the two parts together. Let’s start with an ear.

When you arrive in this point…

IMG_7064

… prepare the filling material…

IMG_7066

… and fill the ear.

IMG_7067

Then continue to sew until you finish the ear. It is important to sew only a little bit over half, then fill it because if you sew first and then fill, you can’t reach all the corners.

This is the ear finished.

IMG_7069

Continue with the other ear…

IMG_7070

… the paws, and close the head. Don’t forget to fill it when you sew.

IMG_7071

The bunny head looks like this.

Step 7.

Choose a point where you want the nose to be…

IMG_7073

… and sew the bead there.

IMG_7074

Like this. (If you prefer, you can glue the bead there)

IMG_7075

We will put the bunny in the corner.

IMG_7076

Sew it in place.

IMG_7077

Like this.

IMG_7078

Add the notebook and you are almost ready.

IMG_7080

Use the paint marker to draw 2 eyes and a mouth for the bunny 😉

And there you have it…the finished notebook cover…the  bunny will keep you company as you write in it…whether is a journal or a school notebook. I hope that you had a lot of fun!
