The benefits of a pocket notebook are numerous, as are the number of great men who’ve utilized them. Today, I’m going to show you how to make your own. It’s cost-effective, only takes about 20 minutes, and gives you a chance to express a little bit of your personality in the process.

Supplies

Any six-pack carton — be it your favorite craft brew or a beloved root beer. Four-pack cartons also work, but the notebooks will be a little bit smaller and a little bit harder to put together.

Paper — blank, graph, lined. Whatever floats your boat.

Stapler

Scissors or paper cutter

Pocket knife

Pencil

Building the Notebook
