DIY: Customize A Journal

December 22, 2011

Try adding a pinch of handmade love to a store bought item, such as a journal.

Customizing a journal takes less than 30 minutes and can even help clear out your scrap fabric drawer.

Materials

Needle and thread
Scrap fabric (2 contrasting pieces)
Pencil
Glue (fabric glue or E6000)

On one piece of scrap fabric, write in pencil, a word or phrase that inspires or has meaning to the recipient. Use a needle and thread to embroider over the writing. Cut a piece of contrasting fabric and glue both the embroidered piece and contrasting piece onto the journal.

This is one unique option to incorporate a little bit of handmade into your store bought gifts.
