How-to Tuesday: Maker's Notebook & contest


This week I have 3 modifications of the Maker's Notebook. I started out by adding a small pocket inside the book to keep a pen. Next, I added a snap closure to keep everything secure. Finally, I added a pocket to the back of the book for keeping acetate film to use as overlays for my sketches.

Since I did 3 mods to my Maker's Notebook, I decided it would be cool to give away 3 Maker's Notebooks. All you have to do is post your modified Maker's Notebook in the MAKE Flickr photo pool and tag it "mymakersnotebook". Next Tuesday I will ask everyone at Make to help me pick our favorite 3 modifications. The winners be announced next week and they will receive a new Maker's Notebook to hack up all over again!

Pen hole location

Should'a put the pen hole at the top so you won't have your hand on/in it when you write/draw. Otherwise, very cool.

I'll try it out on the top when this one gets filled. Thanks!

Contest still on?

Did you choose notebook contest winners? Any more out there? There have to be more mods out there...
