CANDY LAND NOTEBOOK DIRECTIONS
STEP 1:
Cut 2-4”x4” pieces of game board using heavy-duty paper cutter.
STEP 2:
Trim blank printer paper into 3 7/8” x 3 7/8” dimensions (you can decide the quantity) effortlessly with the precision of a heavy-duty Guillotine Paper Cutter.
Step 3:
Paper punch 2 holes at top of game board pieces. Holes should be punched at 1/4’” from top and at 1” and 3” from left side of board.
Paper punch blank copy paper at same measurement.
Step 4:
Construct book by placing one game board piece print side down, layer paper next, and top with remaining game board piece print side up.
Open ‘D’ rings using pliers and insert rings into the holes, close ‘D’ rings using the same method as opening.
Ta-Da!!! You are done!! You now have a super fun notebook that is one-of-a-kind (and it has way more memories than any notebook you can find at a store).
OMG Annie! I love this! I can’t tell you how many board games I have tossed that I could have used. Now to wait until they lose the pieces or outgrow a game now.
I love it. I am thinking of doing it to my daughter’s Mickey game. She just didn’t really like the game once we got it…. but loves the pics.
