Today I have a fun upcycling project for you.
I don’t know about you but I love taking things that would have been recycling or trash and turning them into something fun, useful and pretty at the same time.
Years ago my mind was blown when I watched a video that showed me I could make a journal from a cereal box. I am totally in love with the idea of making something from every day items around the house.
Today I am using a similar package to make a very simple journal. I cut it to size (in my case just under 6×6″) I add some gesso, paint and a bit of collage and bind it all together with some ribbon using a 3-hole pamphlet stitch.
It’s a great project to do if you have limited supplies, time or maybe an overabundance of cardboard you would like to use up. These would make really sweet valentine gifts for kids to give their friends or maybe add some photo memories and give them to a loved one.
I hope you enjoy today’s video. If you follow along and make one yourself please do comment below-I would love to hear!
Until next time…
