I have to make a handmade journal for one of my classes using a needle, thread, paper, and whatever I choose to decorate my cover with  I haven't started on it...but when it's finished, I'll be sure to post pictures! |

 that sounds pretty cool! I always thought making one of those would be cool, but my stupid procrastination kicks in and I'm too busy with a bunch of other stuff, so I never did... |

Okay so here it is ;D  This is the front cover.  This is the back cover.  This is the spine and cover.  This is the pages and the cover.  This is the pages inside. It took quite a bit of time - 2 days total. One day for construction and a second for decorating the cover. I cut out a bunch of words that relate to me from magazines and taped/glued them onto some black construction paper, and that's the cover. And yes, those are Hello Kitty stickers lol. The spine has my name, some hearts, and "Thnks fr th Mmrs" in white colored pencil because it's one of my favorite Fall Out Boy songs. I accidentally used the word "sweet." twice but who cares, right?  I HIGHLY recommend this craft to anyone. It's time-consuming but SO worth it in the end. Some string, paper, card-stock, a needle, some glue, and I now have my very own journal! |
