This post will show you how to cover mini notebooks with fabric in 10 minutes or less. Cover large or mini composition with fabric just using modge podge!

In anticipation of having a baby at the end of July, I've been trying to plan a few outdoor adventures with the kiddos before the baby comes. Nothing complicated, just a few things to enjoy summer with them before my life is consumed by taking care and figuring out a new baby. 

 Have you ever tried letterboxing? my friend took us a few months ago for the first time and my kiddos LOVED it. We finally again this past week as a family. Letterboxing is kind of a little scavenger hunt/outside hobby that other letterboxers will hide a weather proof boxes with a handmade stamp and notebook and then create clues in which they post on a public online forum for others to find. You can read more about it HERE and find letterboxes in your local area HERE. It is really fun for all ages. 

Anyway, I thought it'd be fun if they had a notebook to use for our adventures whether letterboxing or something else and found this mini composition books at the store. I had some left over fabric from back packs that I made them so I decided to cover the books with the fabric. It was really easy to do and took me about 10 minutes to make all of them.
