Hello all,
It’s almost vacation time for me and this time I am serious about documenting it properly. I am hoping to make a whole 6x8 album……let’s see how it goes.
In anticipation, I have scoured YouTube and Pinterest for some ideas on how to best do that, what supplies to take etc. So eventually I arrived to the conclusion that I shall make my own mini Fauxdori type of journal, big enough to put small memorabilia like tickets and business cards, but also Instax photos. I haven’t used my Instax camera nearly as much as it deserves.
My plan is to make a pocket in the front or back of the album to then keep the Fauxdori insert in. I want to use that as a journaling aid. My memory is quit bad, but I do like details, they make the story come to life, so I think I will bullet journal in there.
Making the Fauxdori (5 1/4 x 5 1/2 in)
I have been wanting to make a denim-bound book for a long time and this was the best opportunity to try that. I actually made two, on trial and one for real
I have to add a note, that I used lighter denim fabric as I knew the real deal won’t stick with just double-sided tape and I was out of glue sticks.
I cut out the pockets and plan to attach it to front of the book. I want to find a nice ribbon first, but also, to bead and bedazzle the pocket. I will show you how it turned out in Part 2, hopefully next week.
The inserts are a simple notebook, I cut to make 2 smaller signatures. I still need to decorate those though. Instead of elastic, I used baker’s twine. Easy-peasy.
Now all that is left is to decorate the journal and also decide what to supplies to take.
I would love to hear from you: What shall someone with limited luggage space take on a 3 week vacation home? All suggestions are very appreciated.
Thank you, guys, and I hope to see you soon and…
Keep it crafty!
Love,
Vessy
