We’ve been going to a lot of art, craft and flea markets the past few months and I’ve noticed a new trend of creative journal makers. Some gorgeous work from leather to fabric, even steam punk deco with gears and watch parts. Way more work than I care to do but WOW! So, I thought I could make a wet felted journal cover.

I’m not making my own paper (yet) but covering a journal was pretty simple and also fun! Just so happens that I have a bunch of leftover wet felted wool pieces and hey, who doesn’t love a pretty journal? Oh, and what a great gift idea. You could even personalize these journals with a needle felted monogram.

Supplies you need:

– Wet Felted Fabric (I show you How to make Felted Fabric here)

– Notebook or Composition Book

– Scissors

– Rotary Cutter

– Cutting Mat

– Glue Gun and Glue Sticks

– Ruler (I used a large Quilting Ruler)

– Yarn or leather for decoration (optional)

Check your local dollar store for inexpensive composition books.

Once you have your felted fabric, covering the journal is simple and straightforward. Just measure your felt and then cut the fabric a little larger than the composition notebook.

Glue in place with your hot glue gun.

You can embellish your pretty journal with buttons, yarn, leather ... the possibilities are endless. You can even needlefelt a monogram ... Gift Idea!

Thanks and enjoy!
