Since it’s October and Halloween is just around the corner, I thought I’d design a cover with a fun, spooky-cute theme going on. I chose these Halloween puffy stickers from Paper House and picked the same coordinating colors of Tombow Dual Brush Pens that will work well with the stickers.

Step 1:

Fold the spooky faces of a 12X12 Wicked Good patterned paper from Paper House in half.

Step 2:

The cut the paper to size to fit your notebook. I intentionally left some extra paper (lengthwise) at the bottom. I needed those extras to create my pocket for pictures, stickers, or any memorabilia that I want to keep handy on my traveler’s notebook.

Step 3:

Cut down the middle. The size will depend on how thick your notebook is or how wide you’d like your pocket to be.

Crease the paper and fold.

Step 5:

Next, cut diagonally. I used my favorite Tombow MONO Multi XL Liquid Glue to adhere the paper to my notebook. Be mindful of where you place your glue and how much you want to put on. You also don’t want it too close to the middle because you will need  space for your pictures.
