This is a great version of the traditional composition book. I utilized them to make custom journals for my friends and family. Cover with scrapbook paper rhinestones stickers etc. All you need is a glue stick to adhere decorative papers to the cover. Just a note: leave the spine as is and only cover the composite material front and back covers. Trying to adhere paper to the spine is difficult because it buckles and leaves large air bubbles. Just use decorative jewels or stickers on the spine. Lots of fun!
