Step 1 of the interactive notebook:
Take several (about 15- 30) sheets of card stock (I usually use white but you can use colored) and 3- hole punch them on the left side. Put the card stock in the binder. (Start here if you are using the sketchbook, theme book or composition book for your interactive notebook) Decorate the first page of card stock (only the top) to reflect the theme of the notebook whether it is for science, history, picture books or whatever. 
Step 2 of the interactive notebook:
Now you're ready for your study. As your studying each subject do enough lapbook type booklets or templates to fill up a two page spread. In other words, when the interactive notebook is open to the page both the left side and right side of the open area will have the same sub category, then when you turn the page it will be about another subcategory. Example: If you are doing a science interactive notebook the first 2 page spread many be over the solar system. It might have a booklet attached about the Sun, then one about the planets, one about Comets and a booklet about asteroids. Then the next two page spread may be about volcanoes. One that page you may have a map of the ring of fire, booklet on the types of volcanoes and a booklet about pumice stone. Make sure you wait until you are done with a study, before you glue down the booklets in your interactive notebook. You can store the booklets in a freezer bag until they are ready to attach to the page. Remember each 2 page spread of the interactive notebook reflects a study. 
Step 3 of the interactive notebook:
After you put the have arranged the booklets in the interactive notebook, you can add embellishments to make certain things stand out. Pictures are good illustrators. Just remember this is an on going project that will take weeks or months as you study more subjects. Pages that may help you with your interactive notebooks.
