I first found out about Willow Rose one day when I stumbled upon her adorable blog. She posted lots of stuff that inspired me creatively, so I decided to find out more about the woman behind the blog. What I found out – excitingly – is that she’s a beautiful woman living in the UK who creates neat hand-made treasures.
I fell in love with these fabric covered notebooks she custom-makes for people. All of the fabrics she personally sources herself, and she’ll even cover actual books if you’d like! I love the idea of having one of my favorite books made special by covering it in beautiful fabric.
For this week’s DIY, I’ve asked Willow to show us how we can make one of these notebooks at home and she was kind enough to share =)

Beautiful! Love how you can make a plain notebook so personalized. I’ve been really inspired by DIYs lately and did my own DIY for my blog last week. Thought I’d share it! It’s for a lace/crochet bib necklace. xoxo http://fashion-ready.blogspot.com/2011/05/diy-lace-bib-necklace.html
My grandma has a curtain like this, it’s now being used as a table cloth – I like what you’re using it for!!!
Fabocity.com can be a good source for such fabrics.
