I love making books. I’m gonna make a journal like this one I can carry in my purse. Thank you for the tip with the baking soda and coffee! I made a journal for my daughter 4 Christmas’s ago using scrap leather from Tandy leather company. It was a baby blue leather cover with 4 different types of paper and made an accordion file envelope in the back. It turned out really beautiful. Since then I have been hooked on making books.

I love that idea, and for a small book the amount of leather you would need wouldn’t be much. Was the leather both inside and outside the cover?

@@pennycandyys Hi Penny! Yes it was leather inside and out. I didn’t glue the pages down to the leather covers. I cut a matching strip off the blue leather to wrap around the journal. (Think of a travel journal.) I stayed with that concept. I didn’t want it to restrict the amount of her inserts (since she was in Scotland) inside so I kept it where it just wrapped around the book. I tied charms on each end of the straps. I had a blast making this journal. I hope you have the same joy I did Penny!
