Recycle your notebook
Springed notebook
- 1Carefully remove the spring of your notebook.
- 2After removing it, remove those pages that are already used. Separate them from the pages that are still fine and are still good to be used.
- 3After separating, combine the pages that are still good - you should have at least 50 to make a new notebook.
- 4Make a new cover for your notebook, using a folder. Punch holes into it that match with the holes of the pages that you have.
- 5Using a thread, join them together by putting it in and out of the hole. Then tie it.
- 6You can draw a design on your cover and color it if you want, so it will look better.
Stapled notebook
- 1Carefully remove the staples used in the notebook.
- 2Using scissors, separate the pages that are used and the ones that are not. Cut it properly.
- 3Using a puncher, punch at least eight holes on the left side of the pages. Distance must be equal.
- 4Now make a cover for your notebook. Use a folder for it. You can have it designed or plain.
- 5Punch eight holes on the left side of the cover too. It must be equal with the pages.
- 6Using a thread, join them together by putting it in and out of the holes. Then tie it.
