This was another of the projects we did during our Colonial Life unit.  It was super-easy and I loved how the notebooks turned out!

To begin, we found compostition notebooks (the kind where all the pages are sewn together with string and the covers are hard.)  I picked out several scrapbooking papers that complimented each other then the kids cut the papers into various square and rectangle shapes.  We used Mod Podge to decoupage the scrapbooking paper to the notebook covers.

Just in case you don’t know how….To decoupage, you apply Mod Podge (or any liquid glue, really) to the surface you plan to cover.  Place your papers on the glued surface then apply more Mod Podge over top of the papers.  Easy!

We turned our notebooks into new Bible Journals.  As the Bible is read each morning, the kids are taking notes or drawing pictures about the reading to keep their minds more focused.
