Notebook cover – how to make your child's world brighter?

School time is a responsible and important time. To succeed in studies and creativity, you need to prepare seriously. You can help your child adapt and gain self-confidence by taking care of the little things. Bright pens and pencils, a fancy pencil case, colored covers for notebooks, book bookmarks and a fashionable satchel will cheer up a junior school student. The youngest perceive learning as a fun game, which is why it is so important to maintain a warm atmosphere of attitude to school.

When choosing stationery, it is necessary to take into account the opinion of the class teacher and teachers about the preferred color scheme, as well as the policy of the educational institution. Some lyceums and gymnasiums recommend the use of branded diaries and notebooks containing the symbols of this educational institution. In other cases, both the cover for the notebook and the notebook itself can be bright and colored. 

Children of any age strive for originality and try to look original. An interesting idea for self-expression will be the cover of a school notebook, designed by hand.

For decoration, you can use improvised materials and create anything using any kind of needlework. Scrapbooking, origami, izonit, sewing, embroidery, applique, dot painting – everyone chooses for himself what is closer to him.  The cover for the notebook can be made of beautiful wrapping paper or satin ribbons and lace, as well as decorated with paper flowers. The case for a notebook or notebook sewn from felt and decorated with buttons looks original and attractive.
