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!


Why it’s a win for our planet:

  • Reduces waste: Keeps those sturdy covers from becoming landfill.

  • Saves resources: Gives new life to existing materials instead of buying new notebooks.

  • Sparks creativity: Every time you decorate and use it, you’re a craft-wise eco-champion!
