In this practical video, we gather packing paper, an old file folder, and glue to quickly create a staple for journal mass-making – a simple journal or notebook cover that you can decorate to take on literally any style or mood you wish! It’s as basic as fashion’s “little black dress” but with the “little brown book,” we have far more fun than we’d have at a fancy social event! (at least I do!) And there’s not a scrap of waste!

A super project to do NOW and have a head start on gift-giving season.


Another great use for file folders – making pre-backed journal tags:
