Autumn & Christmas Journals

About this event

A wonderful opportunity to spend two days making a journal for Christmas. These would make a lovely gift for someone or yourself. You could record all your Christmas memories that could be used year after year. Your journal could be made from recycled materials or completely new, there are no rules, so dig into your stash. You will be shown how to select and organise your papers, create a cover and sew in your signature. You can then decorate your unique journal. Student requirements: There is a choice of two sizes 9 x 6.25 or 6.25 x 4.5 inches.I will supply the base for your cover and I will have paper packs available to purchase on the day.Any type of paper - wrapping paper, book pages (text and pictures), music, scrapbooking paper pads, plain, lined and grid.
