As the summer sun slowly surrendered to the crispness of autumn, children across the country eagerly prepared for the new school year. Among the must-have supplies were an array of vibrant Back to School Monster Bookmarks, each uniquely designed to ignite a sense of fun and excitement for reading.

Crafted from sturdy card, these delightful bookmarks featured an assortment of whimsical monsters, each sporting quirky expressions and bold colours. From a fuzzy blue creature with oversized spectacles, poised to help with a challenging maths problem, to a cheeky green monster, perched atop a stack of books, ready to snatch up any forgotten reading assignments, these bookmarks were more than just practical tools—they were companions in literacy adventures.

As students slipped their new bookmarks into the pages of their favourite novels, they found themselves inspired to dive into fantastical worlds, discovering that with each turn of a page, learning could be an exhilarating journey—one made even more enjoyable with a playful monster by their side. With their bright designs and magical charm, these bookmarks became the perfect bridge between summer's carefree days and the exciting challenges of the classroom ahead.

Covering mini notebooks with fabric is a delightful way to personalise your stationery and add a unique touch to your writing experience. To start, gather your materials: a mini notebook, fabric of your choice (preferably cotton for ease of handling), fabric glue or a hot glue gun, and a pair of sharp scissors.

First, measure the dimensions of your notebook, noting the front cover, back cover, and spine. Cut the fabric into pieces, ensuring you leave an extra inch on all sides for folding over. Lay the fabric face down and place the notebook in the centre. Applying glue to the back cover, press the fabric over it firmly, making sure to smooth out any wrinkles.

Next, fold and glue the fabric over the spine and front cover, trimming any excess fabric if necessary. For a tidy finish, fold the corners of the fabric inwards before sealing them with glue. Allow the glue to set for a few minutes, and voilà! You now have a charmingly covered mini notebook, ready to jot down your thoughts or sketches in style.
