Mini Notebooks 09 | September

Month 9 of the year of mini notebooks project. September. In honor of back to school and my baby starting kindergarten.

Education is not filling a pail but the lighting of a fire.
William Butler Yeats

You will need:

• a plain mini notebook
• a small piece of white card stock
• colored pencils
• white cotton twine

• small hole punch (not shown)
• ruler (not shown)

Directions:

1. Cut the piece of card stock slightly smaller than your mini notebook.
2. Using colored pencils and a small ruler, draw light blue horizontal lines across your card stock. Draw one red vertical line about a half inch from the left side of the card stock.
3. Punch 3 little holes out of the left side of the card stock.
4. Glue the card stock onto the mini notebook.
5. Break your # 2 pencil in half, then sharpen it until it is about 3 inches long.
6. Using the cotton twine, tie the mini pencil onto the mini notebook. Trim the ends of the twine.

Happy September!
