Get a journal, any kind, just no ring, a black folder, a glue stick, and scissors.
Go online, go to Google Images and type 'Death Note Letters'. It will show you the D/E/A/T/H/N/O/T/E letters. Or you can draw them yourself and cut them out and paste them on the notebook if you want.

It does not have to be perfect because the background will be black. Leave the letters somewhere safe.

Question

What do I write in it? I've never watched Death Note.

Community Answer

I recommend watching it. Basically the Death Notebook was possessed by a "God of death," but if it falls into human hands, they can use it to kill anyone they please. You write down the name of the person you wish to die (it's a heart attack if the cause isn't specified), and they'll die in 40 seconds. It's just for pretending, though, this would mainly be used for cosplay or as a fan/collector's item. If you do decide to write names in it, though, be sure to keep it private so you don't get into trouble.

Question

Does the ink from my pen need to be really white or not?

Community Answer

Yes, if you want it to look authentic. Silver would probably be the only exception.

Question

If I just glue the letters that I printed onto the notebook, wouldn't there be a bump or something?

Community Answer

Liquid glue doesn't leave a bump if you're careful about it. Make sure not to put too much glue on, or it will seep, but too little glue will cause it to peel and look less authentic.

Warnings

Make sure you have permission from your parents to make this. This will protect you if/when a tattle-tale friend of yours informs your parents about the existence of your Death Notebook. You never know who you can trust.

Don't bring it to school! There have been hundreds of stories about students getting arrested for this very reason.

Never write anyone's name in it that you intend to harm. You can get into a lot of trouble for it.
