Re-cover

Like my new notebook?

It started life looking like this.

Pretty boring right?

I removed the front and back cover so that I could cover them with brown packing paper that I'd scrunched up to make more textured.

Then I attached a piece of lace for a contrasting texture.

I got a matching piece of leather, which I got here, and stitched on a pair of cowboy boots.

The leather is pretty thick so it was a bit of a struggle but a thimble greatly helped.
