Hello there! I'm Sister Diane and I have two grand passions: making crafts and making media. That's what I write about here, and sometimes, I get all thoughtful about internet culture and creative small businesses. Thanks for stopping by! Would you like some tea?

Make a Journal from Stash
My Week of Rather Minimal Blogging continues! My newest tutorial just went up at CraftStylish – this time, I made a recycled blank journal with a woven cover. It’s based on my Cardboard Loom tutorial. I’m pretty happy with how it came out – go take a look and let me know what you think. …And I promise to get back in the swing tomorrow, with a little giveaway. (But you didn’t hear that from me.)

I’ve been looking for just this sort of project! If it ever comes up, you’ll get my vote for the Queen of Craft!

I can hardly wait to try this out!
I have a bunch of those college rule, blank composition notebooks left over from another project. Do you suppose I could do the weaving directly on to the cover, or should I create the cardboard cover and then attach it to the journal?

crazycat, if you can find a way to cut the slits into the composition book cover, then you should be able to weave right on it. The only place this might give you trouble is the spine – as I recall, the spine is flush with the pages, right? Not sure how you’d string the warp over that spot. But you could probably weave on the two covers separately and then cover that spine with something else. I’d love to see how yours turn out!

Hello! I’m all about getting rid of my stash right now, so thanks for the inspiration. On another note, I just checked out the Yarnia website in detail and I’m drooling over the possibilities! You’re definitely keeping Portland on the top of my list of crafty dream vacation destinations!
