I love notebooks. Do you?
I’ve got them in all shapes and sizes and use them for everything. There’s nothing like a fresh notebook to inspire!
While any notebook is fun, a special homemade notebook is even more fun. So, we’re going to grab an apple, make some apple prints, and turn them into this cute Mini Apple Print Notebook.

How to make a Mini Apple Print Notebook
To make these notebooks, you need to start with your apple print.
Cut an apple in half vertically, and dry the inside off a bit with a paper towel. Brush red paint thickly on the cut half of the apple and press it down on your cardstock.
Add some more paint to your apple and make a second apple print next to your first one. Leave a small space between the two prints. See the above photo for an example.
Once your paint is dry, cut out the cover of your notebook. Cut around both of the apple prints in a simple apple shape. Leave the two prints connected in the middle.
Fold your cover in half. If you want to trim the edges up a little at this point, you can.
Unfold your cover and place it down on your small pile of notebook paper. I used five sheets of notebook paper, so that when folded, my mini notebook had ten pages. Trace around the entire cover.
Cut your notebook paper along the traced lines.
Stack your notebook paper with the cover on top and fold all along the middle. Stack it neatly and staple it all together in the middle along the crease (see picture above).
Once your mini apple print notebook is put together, you can trim the edges of your inside pages so that everything is neat.
Now it’s time to write!
Fun things to write in your notebook
You can write about almost anything, but here are some fun apple topics you can write about in your apple print notebook.
Write about a trip to an apple orchard.
Record your favorite apple recipe (or two).
Do an apple taste test and record the results in your mini notebook.
Make a list of your favorite apple foods.
