For thisĀ back to school season, I’m sharing how to make these really cute customizable notebooks with DIY labelsĀ over at the Pottery Barn Teen blog, The Stylehouse! Ā This is absolutely how I would be decorating my own notebooks if I was going back to school (or really for any occasion that I’d need a notebook for), and let’s be real… the best part about this time of yearĀ is back to school supplies. Ā ThatĀ always got me excited for the new school year ;).
I wish this is what I did with my supplies back when I was in school, but unfortunately I did not! Ā I didn’t even THINK to do this, but I wish I had. Ā I’ve become a firm believer in surrounding yourself with things that inspire you or just make you feel GOOD, and if something as small as decorating your notebooks in a design you love can do that for you, I’d say that’s pretty amazing and well worth your time.Ā It’s easy, fun, and should put a smile on your face knowing that you made your own, one of a kind item :).
So back to school or not, make something unique that inspires you and gets you excited for what’s to come!
Obscure fact: I made sure to pick a south campus and north campus subject for the notebook labels (any fellow Bruins out there?)
Still here? Ā Thank you <3. Ā Check out the tutorial for these notebooks over at The Stylehouse!
I’m not going back to school but I LOVE these! You can never have too many notebooks and I love the fun labels.
You said it, girl. I can always make room for more notebooks ;)
No school for me either, but these would be so cute on my desk at work!
Desk at work means perma “back to school” shopping- score. Thanks for coming by, Rachel <3
Those notebooks are lovely. The designs are colorful without being overwhelming. I saw the north and south campus reference and immediately smiled.
:D SO glad you got the reference! I’m relieved at least one person did, haha! Thanks so much, Rebecca!
I am not going to school either but I absolutely love this both for myself and for my kids (who are in school)! Thank you for the great and simple idea. :-)
The love for school supplies runs deep! You bet I’m going to do this for my future kids ;) So happy you love this project, Alexa! Thank you!
I’d love to know where you got the pretty papers!
Hi, Nikki! I got them both from The Paper Source. I didn’t see the black and white one on their site, but you can get the floral one here: http://bit.ly/YWUJgz
Gonna try this for my agenda *.*
NICE! I’d love to see it when it’s done!
These papers rock my world.
I already know about your love for pretty paper <3 So happy you like them!
Definitely trying this for the upcoming school year! Go Bruins <3
Go Bruins! ;) Let me know how your notebooks turn out!
Wow, I’m in love with these! As usual you have a killer eye for color and pattern. I’m a sucker for back-to-school season, I want to be in college learning everything again! But without the drama this time…
Ooooohhhh dramaaaaaaaa. Can’t have anything good without drama! I’d still go back ;).
Thanks so much, Marlene!
In love with the floral paper you used! Just pinned ;)
Girl ~ you are on fire! Another awesome, simple, adorable idea! xo
These are just the cutest! What a fun way to customize basic notebooks! I think I found my weekend project!!
Once a Bruin, never a Trojan. Nice diy. Thanks!
