These days, you come across so many inspiring quotes on social media, read them for a second, and rarely think about them again. So I took a book, created a quote journal cover, and am excited to fill this up with positive words.
Supplies you will need
Chalkboard paint, gel medium, various punches, patterned paper, burlap and a pair of (I love my pink one!) scissors
How to make this quote journal cover
This book was made as a tutorial I wrote for Fiskars
But before I started embellishing my quote journal, I first covered my journal with some chalkboard paint. I love the dull, matte finish chalkboard paint gives.
It takes a couple of good coats, but once it’s done it feels amazing! The paint dries with a soft texture to it and it feels a bit coarse when you run your hands over it. It dries perfectly matte with no shine, shimmer or gloss and looks really fancy.
Chalkboard paint is one of my new favorite #craftsupply. I have even found some in a Target One spot once!! There are so many uses for it and I’m obsessed.
And my quote journal cover is ready and oh so pretty! I love the layers of of the lace, trim and paper. It all came together perfectly.
Very cute! I had one of these in high school and just recently found it. The journal itself is really ugly, though, so maybe I’ll make a new one for it 🙂
My teenage years were all about writing down quotes #geekyworld
