Hello everyone! Kisha here to day and I want to show you how I embellish my "upcycled" journals. I often use ceral boxes, rice boxes, etc to create journals and this happens to be one I created back in December but never made it pretty.
Here are a few upclose photo's of my new journal.
I used Unique Laser Designs wooden hearts from their Heart Stencil and Ranger Liquid Pearls to softly embellish the lower section of the journal.
To begin my layers of embellishment, I first adhered script ribbon using Helmar Fabric Glue. *Keep in mind the journal was previously covered with batting and fabric using the same adhesive.
Continue the layering process using the same adhesive. The metal key was also bonded using Helmar Fabric Glue.
Continue to layer on the raffia, large flower and wooden hearts.
I decided to add a bit more texture using another ribbon on top of the script ribbon. This is a great way to use up your bits and pieces that remain from prior projects…Upcycled journals are great projects to create all year long to give as gifts or better yet keep for yourself.
