So I made myself a spinning journal and I love it I got the idea from Andrea who bought a drop-dead gorgeous hand bound spinning journal from a seller on Etsy. Since I knew I couldn’t buy my own, I decided to look up how to make my own!

Now this isn’t perfect, but it stays together, and is just perfect for me. I used my favorite sheepy fabric for the cover, and uber-cute scrapbook paper for the front end pages. I didn’t have enought pretty paper for the back end pages as well, so I just used white cardstock.

I’m working on my next one, this time a coptic bound journal. I went paper shopping, as I want to make journals for all the nieces for Christmas – they all like to write and draw. I bought a few extra pages to make myself another one to practice the coptic stitch with. I have since decided I would use this journal as a dye journal

Without further ado, here is my spinning journal in all it’s glory
