Instructions

    Cut a piece of kraft paper 5 x 7"; score the paper at 3 3/8"; 3 1/2" and 3 5/8". Cut several sheets of white cardstock 4 1/2" x 6.5"; score in the center of each sheet.

  2. Small 2019 02 06 200227 jj%2b3

    Round all 4 corners of the cover and inside pages.

  3. Small 2019 02 06 200240 jj%2b4

    Stamp desired image(s) on the front of the cover using VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. Color the images with your favorite colored pencils blending if desired.

  4. Small 2019 02 06 200252 jj%2b5

    Cut a 2" x 5" strip of colored cardstock; glue the strip of cardstock over the binding of the journal for added stability. Slip the stretchy cord to the center of the cover, insert pages and place it under a stack of books. This will help flatten the journal and pages. Enjoy!
