• Step 1

  Watch the video for the tutorial, or scroll down for the step-by-step. :)

• 

  Step 2

  This journal book from Canvas Corp Brands comes with 6 card pages and 2 book rings.

• 

  Step 3

  You can assemble the book as it is and use it with journal sheets.

• 

  Step 4

  But I'm going to girly it up first. :) I cut out a page from an old atlas to fit the cover (about 5" by 7").

• 

  Step 5

  I glued it on with Mod Podge.

• 

  Step 6

  I used a piece of ephemera from Canvas Corp Brands for the cover title. My journal will be called "The Honeymoon." :)

• 

  Step 7

  I cut a strip of burlap ribbon to accent the bottom.

• 

  Step 8

  To prevent fraying, I coated the edges of the burlap with Mod Podge.

• 

  Step 9

  I added Washi Tape (this one is from Daiso Japan).

• 

  Step 10

  It still looked incomplete, so I added a sticker of a suitcase to match the theme of traveling.

• 

  Step 11

  I used an Antique Matte finish Mod Podge to give it a vintage look.

• 

  Step 12

  I just dabbed the Mod Podge sporadically all over the cover.

• 

  Step 13

  This is how the antique finish turned out. Pretty neat!

• 

  Step 14

  While it dried, I worked on the back cover of the journal.

• 

  Step 15

  I glued another page from an atlas to the back.

• 

  Step 16

  To match the front, I also added a strip of burlap ribbon.

• 

  Step 17

  Again, I used Mod Podge along the edges to prevent fraying.

• 

  Step 18

  I added a sticker of a camera.

• 

  Step 19

  I looked through other ephemera to see which one would work best with the cover.

• 

  Step 20

  I thought the Rome ephemera worked best with the whole theme.

• 

  Step 21

  More washi tape!

• 

  Step 22

  Once the glue is dried on both covers, I can assemble the journal.

• 

  Step 23

  I used store-made journal pages (provided by Canvas Corp Brands)

• 

  Step 24

  And I also used my own DIY journal pages.

• 

  Step 25

  Then I assembled the journal with the 2 book rings that came with the journal book pack.

• 

  Step 26

  Finished! I hope you guys enjoyed this tutorial!
