How to make a handmade journal

Materials

These instructions are for making an art journal with no hard cover.

  • 15 sheets of watercolor or mixed media paper
  • Waxed thread
  • Tapestry needle (a heavier needle with a large eye, blunt point)
  • Scissors
  • Ruler
  • Bone folder (if you don't have one, there are work-arounds)
  • Awl (or ice pick, etc, to make holes)
  • Binder clips (or large paper clips)

New insights and deeper growth through the visual journal.
