Easy Journal Kids Can Make
This is a no sew, kid-friendly option to making a journal. What a cute, fun way to encourage your kids to write and draw.
This is a great project to use scrap paper because it is small and useful.
Start out with the same paper dimensions as the sewn journal tutorial.
Fold both pieces of scrapbook paper in half. Place the white cut out sheets in the large folded paper. Put the small, blue paper over the large, pink paper.
Punch 3 holes along the binding with a punch, awl, or scissors. Insert a brad into each hole and flatten.
Don't you think your child would love to try this? Imagine the stories they could capture with their new journal!
The Real Deal: It only cost me $0.50 to make this journal.
Go and be pretty,
This would be cute to carry in my purse but my daughter would probably take it away…she always takes my cute stuff.
I always care a little "journal" in my purse. I have not got one for 2011 yet…a favorite
should have said carry a journal…but I do care for my little journals too.
I ment to say…carry a little journal…but I do care for my purse journals too.

Hello! I have been writing about my life’s journeys, and experiences, and lessons learned, my words of wisdom, inspirations, and most importantly…Love leaves a legacy. I became a mother at age 19, and started writing then…well my 8th child was born on 1/1/11, and my ink is still flowing. Hand made journals that my children create are the type a child their age would like, and enjoy writing,& drawing in. Also keeping memories, & mementos in. Every page is dated. I can’t wait to show them this!! Thankyou.
