Notebook Lined Style Tote School Craft
I sewed the horizontal lines with a machine and hand embroidered the red stripe. I like the look of different textures, but you could also sew the red stripe with a machine if you’d rather.

We may put them together in cellophane bags, with erasers, and some candy and sell them for $2.00 bucks because they are to cute, but do take some time to make.”
