D.I.Y PROJECT

( HOW TO MAKE A D.I.Y NOTEBOOK )

MATERIALS :

                        

  Brit + Co printable covers 

Printer Paper 

Card stock  

Embroidery floss

TOOLS :

Cutting mat

Box Cutter

Embroidery needle

Awl

Straight edge

Instructions :

1. Count seven pieces of printer paper and fold them in half. You might need to fold them separately and then stack them together.
2. Print your Brit + Co printable patterns and fold them in half . Insert one into the middle of your stack of white paper , and use the other one as the cover of your notebook .
3. Poke five evenly spaced holes along the spine of your notebook .
4. Thread your needle , tie a knot at the end , and then bring it through the first hole starting from the inside of the notebook .
5. Bring the needle through the second hole and then out through the third .
6. Poke the needle down through the second hole again and then bring it through the fourth . Repeat this stitch until you have the needle on the inside of the notebook    ( it will be have just come through the hole ) .
7. Tie the end to the loose thread at the other end of your knot.
8. Place your journal on your cutting mat , and then use your straight edge and box cutter , slice off the uneven edges of paper . Do this to the top , bottom and side of your notebook .

   

First prepare your paper. Take seven pieces of printer paper (or heavier paper if you want to write or draw in your notebook with markers) and fold them in half. With such a thick pile, you might need to fold them individually and then stack them, lining up the folds so that they’re spooning ;). Next, print your patterned Brit + Co printable and fold them in half. One is for the cover and the other can be a secret fun page inside.

Now take your awl and poke five equidistant holes through your notebook. This will make stitching much easier .

Following the photos above, weave your embroidery floss through the holes.

When you get to the end, tie the end of your embroidery floss to the loose piece on the other end of your knot.

At this point you will notice that your edges are not lined up. Take your box cutter (or an X-acto knife) and straight edge, and cut through the notebook, creating an even edge. Do the top and bottom as well as the side. That’s it!

Writing Style

Type of Writing Style

There are four main types of writing: expository, descriptive, persuasive, and narrative. Each of these writing styles is used for a specific purpose. A single text may include more than one writing style.

1)Expository

Expository writing is one of the most common types of writing. When an author writes in an expository style, all they are trying to do is explain a concept, imparting information from themselves to a wider audience. Expository writing does not include the author’s opinions, but focuses on accepted facts about a topic, including statistics or other evidence.

Examples of Expository Writing

• Textbooks
• How-to articles
• Recipes
• News stories (not editorials or Op-Eds)
• Business, technical, or scientific writing

2)Descriptive

Descriptive writing is often found in fiction, though it can make an appearance in nonfiction as well (for example, memoirs, first-hand accounts of events, or travel guides). When an author writes in a descriptive style, they are painting a picture in words of a person, place, or thing for their audience. The author might employ metaphor or other literary devices in order to describe the author’s impressions via their five senses (what they hear, see, smell, taste, or touch). But the author is not trying to convince the audience of anything or explain the scene – merely describe things as they are.

Examples of Descriptive Writing

• Poetry
• Journal/diary writing
• Descriptions of Nature
• Fictional novels or plays

3)Persuasive

Persuasive writing is the main style of writing you will use in academic papers. When an author writes in a persuasive style, they are trying to convince the audience of a position or belief. Persuasive writing contains the author’s opinions and biases, as well as justifications and reasons given by the author as evidence of the correctness of their position. Any “argumentative” essay you write in school should be in the persuasive style of writing.

Examples of Persuasive Writing

• Cover letters
• Op-Eds and Editorial newspaper articles
• Reviews of items
• Letters of complaint
• Advertisements
• Letters of recommendation

4)Narrative

Narrative writing is used in almost every longer piece of writing, whether fiction or nonfiction. When an author writes in a narrative style, they are not just trying to impart information, they are trying to construct and communicate a story, complete with characters, conflict, and settings.

Examples of Narrative Writing

• Oral histories
• Novels/Novellas
• Poetry (especially epic sagas or poems)
• Short Stories

Music that can realese my stress and calm mind.

Music that can realese my stress and calm my mind is Someone Like You by Adele. For all as we know ,Listening to music can have a tremendously relaxing effect on our minds and bodies, especially slow, quiet classical music. Music, in short, can act as a powerful stress management tool in our lives.

The type of music a student uses to relax is strictly a matter of personal choice. This occurs because of the close pairing of the areas in the brain that are associated with emotions and processing the music.
