This notebook looks like a three-dimensional heart is popping out of the spine of the notebook. My daughter made this as a Valentine’s Day gift for her classmates. A postcard-sized paper as a cover and for inside is cut a letter-size paper into quarters. Then added three hearts to it. These were bound together with a sewing machine.
My daughter, who finally got her hands on a sewing machine on her 10th birthday , was eager to make something with it. After checking the operation with a piece of cloth, she started sewing a piece of paper with the sewing machine. I like her free thinking like that. She folded paper and sewed the edges to make an envelope, or embroidered a point on a card. She got a new machine and it was like a revolution had happened. She enjoys being creative (as always).

Instructions for making

Step 1. Cut Out a Heart- Shape

Cut out a heart-shaped piece of paper. If you do not have a punch, you can use scissors to cut it. Prepare 3 sheets of the same color or different colors as you like.

Step 2. Prepare the Paper

Fold the paper that will serve as the cover sheet in half. Cut letter-size paper into four equal pieces and fold in half to make the inside paper. Align the cover and middle papers in the center and secure with clips to prevent misalignment.

Step 3. Sew on a Sewing Machine

Turn the cover side out and sew along the center fold. After sewing a little before the half, insert three hearts and sew the rest together. We used the largest possible perforation pitch. Sew carefully and slowly, no rush. Cut the thread after sewing to the end.

Step 4. Arrange One's Shape

Fold it in half along the perforations and you have a notebook.  Glue the heart that touches the cover. Finish by shaping the remaining hearts into a three-dimensional shape.
