Article: Choose one type of paper in a standard size. It could be blank or lined, plain white or colored, depending on your preferences. Stack these sheets together, making sure that they are all perfectly lined up and the edges are even.  Try printer paper for a quick and simple notebook. Use sheets of colorful construction paper, measuring the same dimensions, if you want a more durable scrapbook-style notebook. You could use drawing paper for a sketchbook. If you’re using letter-sized paper or something similar, the long edge on the left will serve as the spine. Line up the stack of paper and cover sheets so that the left edges are perfectly aligned. Insert the whole stack into a 3-hole punch and press it down to create the holes.  If you’re using a handheld hole punch, feel free to create as many holes along the spine as you’d like. You may want to use a pencil and ruler to mark out the placement of the holes beforehand so they’re evenly spaced. Push the stack in as far as it will go into the 3-hole punch so that the edges of the paper press up evenly against it. Feel free to add stickers, photos, gems, or anything else you can think of to decorate your notebook’s cover.  Place a smaller piece of paper in the center and use this as a label or title card for your notebook. If you prefer, leave the front cover blank and use it as a canvas for doodles.
