#### Documenting Battles Against Moths: A Notebook Cover
June keeps a log of her fights against moths in a notebook. To make it extra special, she created a cover using her fearsome enemy’s favorite fabric—denim.

After placing the notebook inside, she added a printed label and glued the cover to it. More fringe was added along the edges for a stylish touch. June writes down everything the moth has destroyed in this notebook—it’s already half her closet!

Now, the moth from her nightmares flies far away, leaving her clothes safe at home.

After turning it right-side out, she made handles from different colors of fabric and glued them in place. Her bag could hold as many cupcakes as she could carry—perfect for taking home her loot!

Laura needed to wrap her amazing gift, but she was out of wrapping paper. Not one to back down, she used toilet paper as an alternative.
