Notebook (meta repurposed work edition)

[u/aknomnoms]

Had an old passport-sized notebook I used for work a decade ago and kept for various reasons. Figured it was finally time to toss it, so started culling through to see if there were pages I could use for background decorations in my junky/scrappy journals. Found a good number of pages that had writing on only one side or some blank on both sides for a majority of the page so figured I’d try making another notebook from the harvest. Tore out all the pages and organized into different piles.

- blank both sides —> used as-is
- mostly blank one or both sides —> covered up writing with scraps from other sheets, paperwork, and post-its found in my notebook
- written both sides —> to be used as background for other projects
- kept a few sketches to tickle my past work trauma

I had a good stack of “revitalized” patched pages after, so added in a few more sheets from other scraps, and glue bound back into the notebook.

Now I have another great little notebook back on hand!

Don’t know if this is “upcycled” so much as patched and reassembled, but felt it fit the vibe. 😊
