Making Your Own A5 Wallpaper Covered Journal

Making a journal..... from cardboard, wallpaper or scrap paper and copy paper.

I've made a few of these babies - they are easier to make than you might think. The time guide below should be fairly true even if you have never made one before.

Time Guide

Part 1: making the cover - takes about 30 mins plus drying time
Part 2: The Signatures - takes about 10 mins
Part 3: Readying the Spine - takes about 5mins
Part 4: The Binding -takes about 30 mins

Other stuff you need:

glue
packing tape
needle
crochet cotton or strong thread
awl or other pointy tool
scissors

This is currently my fav gift of choice to make and give to my mates....

Decided I was gonna keep this for myself (ahh ha ha ha haaaaa...manic laughter)
