To make such a present yourself, you need to find out what materials and tools may be required for the work, and also consider several step-by-step instructions.

What is a wish checkbook and what is it for?

A wish checkbook for a loved one is a pleasant addition to the main gift for any holiday. The book looks like a small notebook with tear-off sheets, where a wish is written on each page.

The person who received such a gift can tear off the sheets and use them as checks, presenting them to the performer (the one who gave the book). The performer is obliged to fulfill these wishes, not having the opportunity to refuse.

How to make a wish checkbook with your own hands, design

A checkbook of wishes for a loved one should be beautifully designed. Further in the article you can consider 3 master classes on making unusual books that you can make with your own hands in 1 evening.

Checkbook of desires Love is…

What you will need to create a book:

a pre-prepared wish list;
white sheets of paper;
a sheet of yellow paper;
set of markers;
a sheet of glossy blue cardboard (A4 format).

You will also need to print out pictures from the "Love is" series that match the theme of the wishes. They need to be cut out with scissors.

Procedure:

Turn the cardboard face down.
Using a ruler, draw 2 rectangles measuring 15 x 14.8 cm on it.
Cut out the blanks. This will be the future cover of the book.
Cut rectangles of the same size from white paper. Their number is equal to the number of pages in the book.
Use an eraser to erase the pencil lines left from the markings on the paper.
Use a hole punch to make 2 holes on 1 of the cover pieces.

Apply this rectangle to each page, mark the puncture locations with a simple pencil. Make marks on 2 parts of the cover.
Punch holes in all sheets.
On the cover, on the opposite side from the holes, glue a cutout from the "Love is" series. It should be a romantic picture where the characters are hugging, holding hands or kissing.
On a yellow sheet of paper, write small letters separately that make up the words "Love is". Cut them out and glue them to the center of the cover.
From the remaining white paper, cut a strip 0.5 cm wide and 6 cm long.
Using a black marker, write on the strip: “Wish Checkbook.”
Grease the strip with glue on the back side. Glue it above the yellow letters.

Put the cover aside.
Using a ruler and a simple pencil, draw a frame on all pages, leaving 0.5 cm from the edge of the sheet.
Outline the frames with a black marker.
Using a simple pencil, on the first page, you need to draw several horizontal lines. Using a black felt-tip pen, sign who the gift is intended for and who will be the wish-fulfiller.
Line the next page and write on it the rules for using the book.
Use an eraser to carefully erase the pencil lines.
The remaining pages will be done in the same style. Pencil lines should be drawn in the upper left corners. These will be the lines for the phrase: "love is...". The inscriptions should be done in block letters using a black felt-tip pen.

The line in the center of each sheet is intended for describing desires. The font here should be large. The letters should have rounded corners. They should be yellow, with a thin, black outline.
The last line should be placed under the previous inscription. In italics write: "Done." Leave space for a mark and date.
Erase the pencil lines with an eraser.
On the right side of each page, using a glue stick, glue 1 cut-out picture.
In the upper right corner of all pages, above the glued pictures, draw 2 hearts using a red marker.
Collect all the pages in order. Put the back part of the cover under it. Cover the stack of sheets with the top part of the cover. Fasten the book with notebook rings.

Before you create inscriptions and draw frames, you need to make sure that the pigment of the markers does not soak through the paper. If the paint comes out on the back of the sheet, it can stain other pages, and the book will not look neat. In this case, the markers should be replaced with colored pens.

Checkbook "Kiss"

This is an unusual version of checkbook design, the process of making which will look funny, from the side. On each check you need to leave a trace of a kiss, using a non-greasy lipstick of red color. If you do not have lipstick, you can use honey watercolor. It will not cause allergic reactions on the skin, and can also be easily erased from the lips with an ordinary wet napkin.

What else is needed to create such a book:

sheets of white cardboard for children's creativity;
red and black marker;
pink pencil;
thin satin ribbon of red or pink color.

Procedure:

Cut rectangles measuring 15 x 14.8 cm from white cardboard.
Cut the corners off each page, on the left side. To make the checks even, you can cut the corners off only 1 sheet, then attach it to the others and make marks with a pencil, using these as a guide to cut off the excess cardboard.
Using a simple pencil, draw frames on each sheet, leaving 0.5 mm from the edge of the cardboard.
Round the corners of the frames slightly.
Use an eraser to remove excess lines.
Outline the frames with a red marker.

In the center of each leaf, draw small hearts using a pink pencil.
On the first 2 pages, using a black felt-tip pen, write instructions for use, and also sign who owns this book.
On other pages, use a red marker to draw vertical lines on the right and left sides, inside the frame, 0.5 cm from its edges.
Next, the sheets need to be "kissed" with painted lips to leave a trace of the kiss. The kiss should be located in the lower left corner, inside the frame.
In the center of the sheets, above the hearts, write wishes using a black felt-tip pen. The font should be beautiful, calligraphic.
Turn the checks over. In the top column, underlined with a red marker, write the word "fulfilled." Leave space for a note. In the bottom column, write: "Date." Leave space for filling.

On the sheet where it is written who the gift is for, in the center of the edge with cut off corners, make a mark and punch holes with a hole punch.
Puncture all other pages in the same way.
Put the checks in the correct order. The first one will be the sheet with the names.

Thread a satin ribbon through the holes and tie it into a bow.

Checkbook "Couple in Love"

This option is similar to the design of a checkbook in the style of "Love is". It also requires printed cutouts with cartoon characters in love with each other. The only difference is the lack of fields for marking "completed". The sheets will need to be torn off.

What you will need for work:

pink office paper;
red and black marker;
cork board;
knitting needle or non-writing ballpoint pen;
stationery knife;
black gel pen.

Procedure:

Cut out the required number of pages and a cover from paper.
Using a black marker, write the following at the top of the cover: “checkbook of desires.”
Glue the cutting to the left side of the cover. On the right side, write in large letters: “I love you”.
On the next page, using a pen, describe the rules for using the book.
On the remaining pages, write your wishes in large letters, placing the inscriptions in the center.
Stick pictures on the right side of all the sheets.

Step back 1 cm from the left edge of each sheet.
Use a ruler and a knitting needle to draw a line. Don't press too hard on the knitting needle. The paper may tear.
Bend the checks along these lines, first in one direction, then in the other. Straighten the sheets.
Place each check on the cork board one by one, applying a ruler to the fold line, and make short dotted cuts with a utility knife. This is to make the checks easier to tear off.
Coat the free edge that remains beyond the tear line with glue.
Collect all the checks in the correct order.

Glue the cover.

Samples and examples of filling out a wish checkbook

A handmade wish checkbook for your loved one will be a nice addition to the main gift. But if you don't have time to create it, you can download and print ready-made samples. They already have signatures in a beautiful font and pictures inserted.

You can find options with a description of the rules of use, as well as with a title page. All that remains is to write the names and assemble the book using a hole punch and sliding rings. Returning to homemade books, you can consider other options for design and filling.

Examples:

Coupons. The sheets are in the format of a business card and are cut out of colored cardboard. They are not connected to each other in any way. Each coupon has 1 wish written on it. There are no instructions. The performer explains the rules for using such coupons. A good option for a quick craft.
Lottery. All wishes are written on small pieces of paper, rolled into tubes and placed in a jar. The owner can take out 1 bundle within 24 hours. The performer will be obliged to fulfill the wish that the other half got.
Calendar of desires. To create such a calendar, you will need Whatman paper and white office paper. You need to make envelopes from paper, as well as coupons with wishes that will be put into them. The envelopes are glued to the Whatman paper.

To make everything fair, the coupons need to be rolled into tubes, mixed and inserted into envelopes. Then the performer will not know in what order the wishes are located. The man will open the envelopes every day for a month.

Wish checkbooks can be given to loved ones for any holiday. The main thing is to beautifully design the book and write wishes in it that will be pleasant for both the hero of the occasion and the performer.
