\"10<\/p>\n

Don’t you just love a journal? There’s something about a blank book that’s just plain inspiring. And a journal that you made yourself? That’s perfection. We all use our journals in different ways, so the list below includes an array of sizes, from purse-stashable mini journals to full sized dealies to stick on the shelf or your bedside table.<\/p>\n

1. Fabric Journals<\/strong><\/a> – Choose stash or thrift store fabric to do this project on the cheap.<\/p>\n

2. Cereal Box Journals<\/strong><\/a> – Don’t toss those old cereal boxes! Turn them into cute journals that you or your kids will love.<\/p>\n

3. Upcycled Books<\/strong><\/a> – Turn an old hardcover book into a beautiful notebook.<\/p>\n

4. Junk Mail Notepad<\/strong><\/a> – Turn your junk mail into a miniature journal, perfect for stashing in your purse.<\/p>\n

5. Basic Journal<\/strong><\/a> – You can use cardstock like the tutorial calls for or choose light cardboard from your recycle bin, like a cereal box.<\/p>\n

6. Embroidered Notebook<\/strong><\/a> – Turn a plain, cheap paper moleskin into a personalized treasure with a little bit of embroidery work.<\/p>\n

7. Peek-a-Boo Journals<\/strong><\/a> – I love these colorful journals with cutout covers and cheerful images that peek through!<\/p>\n

8. Kitchen Journal<\/strong><\/a> – Keep track of your favorite recipes, and let your kids include theirs, too! This is a great stash-buster, and the finished product is super cute.<\/p>\n

9. Chalkboard Journals<\/strong><\/a> – These journals have chalkboard colors and use chalk ink to make removable cover designs. So clever!<\/p>\n

10. Art Journal<\/strong><\/a> – This is another recycled book journal, and I love her on-the-fly process!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
