Creating something unique and beautiful from just paper and twine always amazes me. These handmade journals turned out super cute and you can watch my Making a Handmade Journal Video where I walk you through the steps.

Handmade Journal Tutorial:

Since the binding on these handmade journals is simplistic, I added colorful flowers and gold embossed words to decorate them. That Gold embossing has some sparkle to it that is so cool!

I really like how the hand lettered “ideas” word turned out here! I used a silver embossing powder which had some sparkle to it.

To gift these, I simply added a big bow onto the handmade journal and I also made a matching personalized tag. You could easily add the gold embossed name onto the journal itself to make the gift even more special.
