Hello again my lovelies!
Today I wanted to share my travellers notebook.
I'm travelling in a few days and wanted to take my
journals with me. So I made my own version...
I made the cover using a 12" x 16" canvas. I painted it using
Decoart Media Fluid acrylics & some Daler Rowney Graduate acrylic paints.
Once dry, I cut it from the frame & sewed a hem around the edges.
I decided I wanted to add a pocket on the front so I painted an old pocket from a
pair of jeans & glued it on. I then sewed around the edges to add security & detail.
I added a flower motif using a POSCA pen.
I glued some black EVA foam cut to size & when dry sewed around the edges
to stop it from coming apart. I used some elastic to create the binding & closure.
You can find lots of tutorials for this on YouTube.
I also added some of my paper beads & dangles. I LOVE dangles!!!
Inside it holds my bible journal which I write scripture in everyday.
I find it helps me remember them & I find comfort in it.
Then there is a plain blank journal in which I will be putting our daily
adventures & photos of our upcoming travels!
I bought an Instax camera (small polaroid type) so I can stick photos straight in!
Eeek! So excited to do this!
I have made a pocket section using Scrapbook Paper.
I keep my list of scriptures to write for the month & a travel palette that I made.
Jenniebellie has a fab tutorial on this HERE.
I also sewed on the pencil pouch at the back.
That way I won't forget it!
Inside I will keep my supplies.
Don't know if I will keep it to just these or add
some watercolour pencils too!
Here's the back!
Voila!
I am going to keep it in my hand luggage so I can play on the plane.
That will keep my mind off flying!
Hope you're having a fab Summer!
I'll do a post when we are home.
