Autograph Books for the End of the Year

A great project for the last week of school is to have the kids decorate and sign autograph books.  A great way to wrap up the year with a fun writing project!  (See printable version at the bottom of this post.)

For each book you will need:
1/2 sheet of white cardstock
Colored Paper (6 1/2" by 4 1/4")
14" of Ribbon
3 sheets copy paper

1.  Cut white cardstock in half length wise and fold.


2.  Cut pretty paper to 6 1/2" to 4 1/4".
3.  Glue to back of your cardstock with a glue stick.  There should be a 1" overhand that will wrap around to the front.

4.  Use edging scissors to make a nice edge and glue down to the front.
5.  Cut copy paper to fit inside the book.  (I cut 12 pages for each book, 4 pages from each sheet of copy paper.  Pages should be 4" x 5 1/4")
6.  Punch your holes in the cover and pages, making sure they will allign.
7.  Tie together with 14" ribbon.  Don't tie it too tightly or it will be difficult to open the pages.
8.  You are ready to go!  Have kids decorate the covers and give them little verses as examples as what to write.   A few of these were good:  autograph sayings
