The step by step process is outlined below.

Plain Notebooks

The plain notebooks and pen used were purchased from Target. Walmart sells many notebooks and large pens as well. Amazon also sells multiple notebook and pen options, all with FREE prime shipping.

Adhesive Foil Vinyl Design

Designed In Design Space

The designs were made using elements from various sources. The layout was made in Cricut design space. Names were made using a font from dafont.com called October Twilight. Choose a favorite font and whatever saying desired. Then personalize it with the recipient’s name. The Unicorns are from Love SVG for FREE. I adore the FREE SVG files on Love SVG. The designs are free for personal use (make and give, NOT sell). A commercial license can be purchased for a reasonable price for items intended to be sold. Definitely recommend checking them out if you haven’t done so already.

Cut Out With The Cricut Maker

I LOVE the Cricut Maker. The maker quickly and easily cut the names and unicorn designs out of adhesive foil material. The unwanted excess material was removed or also known as “weeded.”

Adhesive Foil Vinyl

For this project, the adhesive foil vinyl was all Cricut brand. I highly recommend that people price compare to get the best quality and price for all materials, and especially for adhesive vinyl. The Cricut adhesive foil vinyl was purchased directly from Cricut during a sale and mystery box promotion. Amazon also has multiple options as well. Favorite non-Cricut brands include Siser and Oracal. Remember to do test cuts before cutting designs because settings may be slightly different for alternative brands.

Transfer Tape Application

Transfer tape was applied to the top of the design. It was burnished (rubbed down) so the vinyl would stick onto the transfer tape. The paper backing was removed and the adhesive foil vinyl was then rubbed onto the notebooks and pen. The transfer tape was removed at a 90 degree angle off the adhesive foil vinyl, leaving it behind on the notebook. This process was repeated for all design elements to make the full design.

I hope this article inspired you to try making your own personalized notebook and pen set. The process is easy, with super cute, and unique results.
