Tutorial: Composition book cover with apple applique

Amanda from Jedi Craft Girl shares a tutorial at Therm O Web showing how you can make this composition cook cover with apple appliques and a button tab closure. Whether you make it for back-to-school or just because, it’s a pretty little notebook cover for notetaking or journaling. She uses a Sizzix to cut her apple shapes but if you don’t have the machine or the die you can cut yours by hand. If apples aren’t your thing, you can use any simple shape.
