The Great Supermarionation Sampler Notebook!

What you’ll need

• The front and back DVD covers (cardstock)

• A stack of plain or lightly lined paper (cut to the same size as the covers)

• A hole punch (or a sharp awl and a bit of adult help)

• Some colorful ribbon, yarn, or strong string

• Optional: stickers, markers, washi tape for decorating

Steps

1. Measure & Trim

   • Place your paper stack between the two covers and make sure everything lines up neatly.

   • If any paper sticks out, trim it so it matches the covers’ edges.

2. Punch the Holes

   • Along one long side (the “spine”), mark two or three even spots (about 1 cm from the edge).

   • With help if you need it, punch holes through both covers and all the paper at once.

3. Bind with Ribbon (or Yarn)

   • Cut a length of ribbon or yarn twice as long as the spine.

   • Thread it in and out of the holes, stitching the pages and covers together like a little “sewing” project.

   • Tie a secure knot or bow at the spine’s top or bottom—however you like!

4. Decorate & Personalize

   • Add stickers, draw your favorite characters (maybe a tiny Stingray or Thunderbird!), or wrap washi tape around the edges.

   • Write your name and date on the first page to make it extra special.

5. Use & Enjoy

   • Jot down your “super” ideas, draw mini-comics, or keep track of your recycling mission each week.

   • Every time you open your notebook, you’ll remember how you helped the planet by reusing and recycling!
