Make A Black Book

A black book holds private and personal material.


When most people hear the term "black book" they think of a book that is kept private from others. Whether you use your black book as a diary of private memories, store private information about past love escapades, draw graffiti or write poetry, it is usually not shared with others. Creating your own black book allows you to have a personal touch on your secret book.


Instructions


1. Gather a stack of paper. Depending on how many pages you would like your book to have, select the appropriate amount of paper. If you plan to use the book to write in, lined paper may be best; for drawing, it may be best for blank paper. In addition, the paper can be any size you prefer.


2. Place one sheet of black paper on top of the paper and one sheet of black paper under the paper. If you do not have black paper, you may use a black paint or black marker to color two pieces of paper black. If you would like a more durable book, select a black poster board and cut it down to the size of your paper.


3. Neaten your stack of paper so all of the pages are even in length and width.


4. Staple at least three to five staples along one side of the stack. You may staple the book vertically or horizontally, whichever way you prefer.


5. Decorate the book with colored paints if you prefer.
