3) Pipe Cleaner Notebook

This one is so simple and very inexpensive to create.  All you need is a plain notebook, some tacky glue, colorful pipe cleaners, and a piece of construction paper.  Glue the pipe cleaners to the front of the notebook, folding the ends inside the front cover, and sealing off the inside of the front cover with a piece of colored construction paper.  Voila!  You have a unique and colorful new notebook!
