DIRECTIONS:

  1. Cut 1" circles from various patterns using a punch or electronic die cut machine. Fold circles to create a square. If you use an electronic die cut machine, you can find a Folded Circles cut file from Paige Evans to make your job a little easier! If not, try cutting a square piece of cardstock as a template to create even folds.
  2. Hot glue squares onto journal cover.
  3. Create a layered flower using various pieces from the Bungalow Lane Floral Ephemera Pack, stitching a puffy button to the center with twine. Use dimensional adhesive between the layers if desired.
  4. Hot glue to notebook cover.
  5. Add a phrase sticker from the Bungalow Lane Sticker Book over the flower.
  6. Create tabs for the journal using perforated word strips from the Icon Ephemera pack rounding the corners if desired and adhere them to journal pages.
  7. To create the bookmark, cut a strip of patterned paper to the height of the journal, add stickers and/or die cuts, and punch a hole at the top. Add charms by adhering hearts from the puffy stickers and the epoxy stickers back-to-back, punching a hole, and tying twine through them. Thread through bookmark and let them dangle on the front of the journal.

JOANN HACKS:

  • Create a journal for every season by simply changing the patterns that you use for the folded circles.
