Hello my crafty friends and welcome to this weeks Make and Take craft!! Today we are inspired by Journals and Flip-books- let’s make our very own!!!
Check out the video and follow along:
Let’s start by making our Flip-Book Base to create our booklet!! The base is folded so that it closes perfectly- like french doors!
Take a bit of ribbon and tie it around the seam of the folds- this will hold our pages in place!!
Let’s make a medallion to hold our ribbon that will tie the booklet closed!!
Place your seal sticker on a piece of cardstock and use a hole punch to pop it out! We’ll use a pop-dot to hold the ribbon down between the cardstock and the medallion!
Now we can wrap the ribbon around the booklet to close it up!
There are so many stamps to be inspired by! Choose your favorite color ink and get inspired to create sections of things you love!!
We were inspired by the bird stamp to list Favorite Songs! Drawing music notes is so much fun!
Let’s make more sections of things to love!!
Do you love Textures?? Make a spot to put bits of textures you love! You could even describe Why you love the pieces so much!!
What’s the place that makes you happiest? Favorite place to watch the sunset? Best park?? There are so many amazing things that make your life special, you could choose any of them to add to your art journal!
Have fun combining secret panels, envelopes, pockets, stamps, and doodles!
Your Art Journal Flip Book is yours to explore what makes you Happy!! Think of all the things that bring you joy!!
Now you’ll have a book to open when you want to remember what you love the most!!
You could check it out to figure out where to explore next!
Next time someone asks you what your favorite book is- show them your journal!!
Thank you so much for creating with us today!! Your Art Journal is as unique as you!
See you next week for a new craft to create!!
