Homemade School Supplies

The 50 cent composition notebooks were fine and dandy for El last year, but apparently Em expects more from her school supplies. Here are some cute notebook covers I made for her yesterday:

And a binder cover...

I didn't use a pattern or tutorial, but there are plenty of resources online if you want to make something like this. (Here is a cute one.) Em doesn't know about these yet; I plan on giving them to her on the first day of school... which is a date still to be determined (probably August 23 or August 27.)
