    How do I cut a rectangle?
    Karley Snyder
    Community Answer
    You can either trace the shape of a rectangle onto your material or cut it out freehand. A rectangle is a shape with 2 pairs of equal sizes, and you can either eyeball the shape or use a stencil. After you have your shape, use a pair of scissors and make small cuts around the shape, creating your rectangle out of your material.

    You can cover your notebook with paper, fabric, or paint. Choose what kind of cover you would like.

  • Question
    Can we install a lock on the notebook?
    Karley Snyder
    Community Answer
    The material of your notebook will determine whether you can use a lock or what kind of lock to make. For instance, a paper composition notebook wouldn't be suited well for a metal lock and key, but you could try adding two ribbons to the front so you can tie them in a bow to secure your notebook. Use more secure locks for leather or plastic notebooks.

    You want your cover to look professional and neat, so your best bet is to draft your cover using your computer. Do this with a word processing software, like Microsoft Word. Write out your title, name, class, and any other information you would like. You can choose an image to represent your practical, or just use the title. Print out your cover page, and this will act as your biology practical cover sheet.

  • Question
    If you are covering your notebook in a T-shirt, how do you take off the glitter on your notebook?
    Karley Snyder
    Community Answer
    If you have already applied glitter to your notebook, your best bet to cover it with a T-shirt is to use another notebook. You can try to scrape off the glitter with the dull side of a butter knife, though if the glue has already begun to dry, it may just rip your cover. You could also cover the T-shirt overtop of your glitter, though this may result in a textured cover.

    I am terrible at drawing, what do I do?
    Community Answer
    You can always print a picture that you like from the internet and glue or tape it on with masking tape. If you're taping it, I recommend taping the whole cover. Another option is having a friend draw something for you.
