After 2 productively manic days, I finally found the thing to drain my energy. As if knitting weren't enough, I've moved on to crazy-making recycled crafts. I'm pretty damn pleased with myself.

Little notebooks made out of stuff around my office.
Yup.
Book 1 is made of an old makeup pamphlet, some foolscap, re-shaped staples and a glass bead. The lettering is stamp ink under sellotape.

Book 2's cover is the cardboard from a packet of WonderBra Pantyhose, 2 sheets of drawing paper, one eyelet, about a yard of old sock yarn, one glass bead, and two staples. The sides are reinforced with tape.

Tutorial for book 1 is
here. Book 2 is my (unrefined) design.
Now I want to turn everything into notebooks.
Sleep? What sleep?
