I am interested in decorating the spiral notebooks, but am not sure how the background paper is applied wround the spiral. Is there a tutorial or instructions available? I searched SCS, but couldn't find anything. If anyone has instructions or could let me know how to apply background paper that would be great. Thank you,
you could try taking the spiral out...if it is a single spiral you should be able to just twist it out, cover your cover edge to edge, hole punch new holes through the old ones and retwist your spiral back in...you might want to hold everything together with a binder clip white the spiral is out...
if it has a double spiral (I still haven't figured out to get them out...if there is even a way to get them out!) then you will need to cut your paper the size of the cover...eyeball or mark as best as you can with pencil where the holes would go, punch them and then cut slits from the edge to the center of the hole...adhere to front and just push the slits together...I usually add ribbon to the spiral so the slits are less visible...
rip out a sheet of the notebook paper and use the smallest hole punch you have to punch holes to correspond to the notebook paper. Then snip with scissors from the edge of the paper to through the hole. This will then slip over the wire. You can either glue the cs to the cover of the notebook or remove the cover and use the cardstock as the cover. Good luck.
I do something very similar to Hope. In fact I might use her idea too. But what I do is line my pp up to the edge of the spiral and make a small mark where each wire would intersect the paper. I then make a snip in the paper deep enough to allow the paper to cove the whole notebook cover. I do this at a slight angle. I find that works best.
