Diy: Book Journal

Make a book journal

About

Old hardcover books are one of my favorite things. Not only are they cool looking, but I love to hollow them out and use them as journals. Sometimes I don't even hollow them out (like in this one), but I just start adding pictures straight to the pages. Sometimes I feel like I forget the inspiring images that I have saved to a folder on my computer. Believe me - I have folders and folders of saved inspiration photos, but there's something special about having a book to flip through. Here are a few of the pages from this year's journal.

Steps (3 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Find a cool book that you like the cover. You can find some pretty incredible books at thrift stores, garage sales, even your own attic!

  2. 2

    Now take a glue stick and go to town! Start writing, drawing, college, anything you want! It's an old book so don't feel bad about writing in it!

  3. 3

    If you'd like, cover some of the pages in plain paper and then make it into a journal. The possibilities are endless for old book journals!
