This six-hour workshop is a balance of expressive art and hand stitching techniques. Your completed journals give you a place to jot notes, reflections, or display artwork...and they make great gifts.
This method is easy to learn without investing in special tools or messy glues. It is a great way to try the art of journal making. The exposed spine of the book shows off the stitches as a beautiful design element.
The faux leather wrap-around journal is bound using a through-the-cover long stitch (or chain stitch) and includes a decorative tie (cord, ribbon, etc.) embellished with or without a button.
