Friday, April 25, 2008 - Homemade Nature Journal
The other day, I was reading what was next over at Barb's Green Hour Challenge and saw that we were starting to incorporrate drawing. I have started my own nature journal and am loving it but wanted Cameron to have something special for his own.
I'm really pleased with the way this turned out! And it was so simple.
You could make these any size. You can use poster board, heavy card stock, or file folder. I used a file folder. I cut the front 9.5 x 6 and decorated it with scrapbook paper. The back I cut 11 x 6. The back needs to be 1/2 inch longer than the front. Your paper for the inside of your book should be 1/4 inch shorter all around. (I actually had the paper first and made my covers 1/4-inch bigger all around)
Then fasten it together. I used brads.
How simple was that? Cameron LOVES his book.
