Today I'm here to share a cute polka dot journal cover that you can make with your own photos. Like our Instagram Journal, this project is easy to customize with your own photos. It makes a great gift! Enjoy...
Supplies Needed: Journal (ours was provided by Miro), photos you don't mind cutting up (magazine pages work great too), scissors and glue. 1. Use a small bottle cap to trace circles on your photos and cut them out. 2. Use glue to adhere photos all over the front of your journal. Be sure to leave some circles hanging off the edges. Allow to dry completely and repeat this step on the back cover. 3. Trim circles along the edge of the cover. 4. Use washi tape (ours was provided by Freckled Fawn) to create a cute spine for your journal. Enjoy your new book!
We're back in DIY mode with week... can't wait to share another fun glass etching project, a DIY swiss cross wall art project and Emma's everyday makeup routine! xo. elsie
