Today I’ve got a super sweet printable Rosh Hashanah craft for you. Literally sweet, because the theme is apple and honey, the classic holiday icons that symbolize a sweet new year. And get that: this craft is perfect for fall and for Back to School as well! The printable apple shaped notebook makes a great apple craft for autumn, and creating two DIY notebook will get the kiddos in the mood for going back to school. How perfect is that?

There are several fun activities involved in this honey and apple craft. There is coloring the apple and the honey jar, there is folding and stapling, and of course – there is filling the DIY notebooks with scribbles to your heart’s content. 

Before we start, one small teaser: At the end of the post I collected some special Rosh Hashanah freebies and exclusive products. Don’t forget to check them out!

Making the DIY notebooks is simple. All you have to do is grab the free printable template and follow the easy step-by-step instructions down below.

You will need:

• This Apple and Honey Notebooks Template
• White cardstock for printers
• Regular paper for printers
• Coloring tools
• Stapler
• Optional: Styrofoam block or packaging foam

Steps:

1. Print the notebooks’ covers on white card stock (page 1 of the template). Print the interior on regular paper (pages 2 and 3). If you want more of the interior in your notebook, print two or three copies of these pages.

2. Color the apple and honey shaped covers of your notebooks.

3. Cut out the covers and the interior pages.

4. Fold the covers and the interior pages in half, along the dashed line.

5. Align the interior pages inside the covers.

6. Lay the notebook open, cover facing up, and staple the spine. If your stapler doesn’t reach the spine of your notebooks, you can use this trick:

Place the notebook on Styrofoam block. Spread your stapler open and staple the notebook at the spine, letting the staples penetrate the Styrofoam beneath. Pull the notebook up and remove the Styrofoam. Bend the staples inward with the back of your stapler, or with another strong object. 

And it’s done! You made your own adorable DIY notebooks!
