Emily and I enjoyed making these winter journals. They are so simple to make, and they came out looking great! To make the journals you will need:
- Pretty paper (I used snowflake print, but any pattern will work.)
- Plain marble notebook
- Exact-o knife -- DO NOT LET CHILDREN USE THE EXACT-O KNIFE!!
- Book binding tape
- Glue stick
Have your child spread glue stick all over the entire cover of the marble notebook, and glue a sheet of pretty paper to the cover. Repeat with the back cover.
The rest is up to the grown ups -- Trim excess paper with the exact-o knife. Use book binding tape over the binding of the notebook. Trim any excess tape with the exact-o knife, and you are done!
