Mini Journal/Planner Craft

Mini Journal/Planner Craft

Hello Everyone! Today, I will be telling you how to make your own mini journal. You can use it to plan, journal, or even to doodle! I hope you enjoy making this craft. :)

What you need:

• thick paper
• grid or lined paper
• paper cutter or scissors
• glue
• hole puncher
• yarn (any color)
• bracelet charm 
• 2 pieces of velcro 
• coloring materials and decorative items

1. Cut out a rectangular shape from the thick piece of paper. You may choose the size of the rectangle. Cut the rectangle slightly bigger than the size you had in mind. Fold the it half and set it aside.
2. Take some grid, or lined paper and cut rectangles out. Cut the rectangles slightly smaller than the thick rectangle which you cut out earlier. Have 10-25 rectangles cut out. Fold each rectangle in half. 
3. Now it's time to put the journal together! Start by gluing one of the smaller rectangles on the large rectangle. Make sure to only apply glue on the spine. Repeat step number 3 until you have glued all the small rectangles.
4. Optional Step: If you want, you can decorate the pages inside of the journal to make a planner. See picture at the end of post.
5. Optional Step: Then, decorate the cover of the journal! See picture at the end of post for inspiration.
6. Enjoy planning and writing in your cute handmade journal!
