 Make a Journal

A lot of people like to start the new year with some new resolutions. If you are going to do that, maybe you need a journal to record your progress. For many of us, our blogs are our journals. But for some things we still like paper, so why not create your own journal or make one for a gift. Here are a few tutorials that I found online.

Gina made a lovely little book with postcard sized pages and she posted a tutorial for the rest of us.
Curiously Crafty's hardbound journal tutorial - with lots of photos!
Sue and Terri have 7 different journal/notebook/folder tutorials at Three Creative Studios
may Britt has a tutorial for an embroidered notebook cover
Spirit Phoenix has a tutorial for a hand bound soft cover journal
Katarina's fabric covered journal/agenda book
Wanda's patchwork journal cover tutorial
Moda Bake Shop also has instructions for a patchwork journal cover
Non-Linear Arts has instructions for pamphlet journals made from recycled items
The Wishing Star has a video tutorial for a quick and easy hard bound journal

C&T Publishing has tutorials for
- a quick and easy journal cover
- a folder folio and
- a canvas art book

Instructables has several journal tutorials, some of my favorites are:
- a journal that uses old game boards for a cover
- a simple decorated composition book journal
- a journal made from a Moleskin insert

 

You know, you could still do some of these for Christmas gifts!
