How To Make A Homemade Coupon Book
You’ll also want a sewing machine (optional–to make perforations), a paper cutter (to cut straight lines), a hole punch, and ribbon to bind it together.
1. Cut the top, bottom, and right borders off of each valentines coupon.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CUT THE WHITE AREA TO THE LEFT OF EACH COUPON (between the image and the edge of the paper).
2. Remove all the thread from your sewing machine and then sew along the edge of the coupon (it will just make tiny holes in the paper).
See the tiny holes? Those are your perforations.
3. Repeat the above steps for all of the coupons. Be sure that you don’t cut to the left side of the cover either. It will fold to the back to hold all of the coupons together.
4. Put all of the coupon templates on the inside of the coupon book cover. The back won’t completely enclose the coupons (it will be too short), but that is fine.
5. Use a hole punch to punch two holes in each coupon and the cover. Make sure the holes are located at the exact same place so that you can bind them together.
6. Use a ribbon to tie the valentine coupon booklet together.
The perforations make it easy to tear out the coupon! :)

February 4, 2014 at 3:33 pmHi,
Love these, they are such a sweet idea! I have one question though, when I loaded cover to print, it is coming out smaller then coupons. Any suggestions? Have a blessed day! And thank you for sharing!
Jenae says
February 4, 2014 at 3:36 pmHmmm…not sure what is going on. I would suggest making sure it is printing at 100%. Since the image is close to the right edge, your printer’s settings might be trying to shrink it.
Jenae says
February 4, 2014 at 3:37 pmAlso, make sure it is formatted to be printed as a “landscape” (horizontal). The coupons themselves should print out as portrait orientation, but the cover should be printed as a landscape orientation.

February 4, 2014 at 5:37 pmThank you so much! I printed the cover as landscape and it worked perfectly! Thank you again! Excited for Valentine’s Day now! ;-)

February 9, 2014 at 6:31 pmThis is so cute! Thank you. I have an odd question though. Is there a way you could post a sheet of blank coupons? So we could write or type in our own ideas? I think yours are awesome, please don’t get me wrong, I love the ones you have, I wanted to add another one that would match with the other coupons. Does that make sense?

February 13, 2014 at 8:58 amI agree! These are AWESOME and we’ll be giving them to our four children for Valentine’s Day, but I would love some extra blanks if you could. Thank you so much for the time you put into your site!

January 27, 2016 at 8:53 amHi – I was hoping to find a blank coupon template. Is there one available? It would be really helpful.
Jenae says
January 27, 2016 at 8:56 amUnfortunately I don’t have the original template so I don’t have any blank coupons. So sorry!

February 12, 2014 at 9:52 pmI love this idea! My kids get so much candy and treats at Valentine’s Day from friends and family. I wanted to do something different for them this year. However, I’m having trouble printing the coupons. I was able to pull up and print the cover no problem. The document popped right up, but when I click on the coupon link, a blank page comes up. It’s very strange! Help me!!
Thanks so much for the cute idea!
