Prepare pages for a diary. Each sheet in it has A5 format with zebra. To do this, print lines and dates from two sides on the A4 office paper.
Sheets to fold in the middle and decompose by the dates, forming a notebook of 7-8 sheets.

Sell \u200b\u200ba line of folding line on each billet so that it keeps better form.

Every part of the sheets collect in a pack.

This stack you need to suggest well. To do this, put on top and bottom of the cardboard and secure the stationery clamp. So the cardboard will not allow the lists under pressure.

While the sheets are pushing, prepare the cover. Cut two blanks from cardboard to the size of the future diary. For the notepad root, use the cardboard in the form of a rectangle, but only twice already than on the cover. Make the longitudinal strips on it, while selling the line to the sharp end of the scissors. So the cardboard will be more flexible.

Stick the root to two covers.
Now let's puncture the cardboard with the faceter from the front side.

Put the skin to the backside table upstairs. To put the workpiece for the cover of a synthet board at the bottom.

At the corners of the cardboard, glue the double-sided tape and wrap the corners of the skin inside.

Then glue the remaining edges of the skin in the same way. Leave the skin so that it takes the necessary form.

While the skin is spilled, make a pry and latch. This stage can be omitted if you want to make a regular diary. But with the castle the diary will look more original!
Cut the leather strip of 6 cm. In width and length more than notepad root. Prepare a 3 cm wide cardboard strip and a little less than a strip of skin. Wrap her skin.
One part of such a strip (on the reverse side) is attached to a notebook any way convenient for you.

With the front side, attach the first part for the mounted lock (with a hlystics). Secure the second on the notepad itself.

Now you need to sew a block of sheets. Rearrange the clamps. Draw strips at a distance of 3 cm. From each other.

For each line, make shallow cuts, while cutting each sheet.
Then remove the clamps and take the long thread and two strips of dense fabric.

Each notebook from 8 sheets, place along the collapse, in the middle between the stitches laid the fabric.

Collect all parts of the notepad, gradually stitching them between themselves.
In middle stitches, attach cloth and sushach it to sheets.

Now glue all parts of each other sealant. Well wrap the slots between the bends of the sheets. Fabric Do not cut off! Leave the means to dry well.

For forboat, use paper with any pattern. Two sheets of cardboard or tight paper cut down the size of the diary. One edge bend 0.5 - 1 cm. And glue it to two sides of the stitched sheets.
From the outside, fasten the fabric, the ends of which remained after stitching.

Take the printed picture (A4 format), bend in half and secure between the cardboard. Glue apply on the entire surface of the paper. Well sell a sponge to avoid bubbles on it.

Cut the forced fence in the size of the cover, glue them with each other.
Corners of the diary decorate iron accessories - so they will be less weed during use. On the front side write the golden paint owner's name.
