DIY Small Journal

This small journal was inspired by the beautiful texture and character of the handmade paper used for the cover, allowing the natural fibers, subtle imperfections, and organic feel to guide the overall design. I chose to fill it with blank paper but you could add a variety of different papers if you desire.

The binding is a simple sewing stitch, keeping the construction easy and flexible. I also like to add a small decorative detail to the front of my journals to clearly indicate the front from the back. For this one, I also added a dangle that coordinates with the color of the handmade paper, giving it a subtle finishing touch while tying the whole piece together.
