Fabric Bird Journal Wrap

I mentioned in my last post

that I would share images of the Fabric Bird Journal Wrap.

I was so inspired by some ideas I picked up from

both Lilla and Nellie

that I thought I would do my take on one of these wraps

and, at the same time, attempt to show you

how I created this.

I love working with nature themes so this Australian Honeyeater

graces the cover perched on a branch.

This shows the inside of the wrap with a pocket on the 

inside cover with placement for a pen next to it.

This is what the front and back look like before

it becomes folded into three.

The first set of pages are for keeping notes -

this gets attached to the first fold

This page sits nicely in the centre fold next

to the pen pocket and the next two images show

the front and back wrap for the

water colour art paper pages

which I have sewn together then into the last fold.

The completed inner wrap above and below

you can see the wrap with the front cover

sitting over the centre fold displaying

the second water colour page book.

The image above shows how the end of the cover looks 

when folded in and lastly is the back of the wrap

when it is all folded in.

So there you have it basically. I did decide at the end

to add a piece of vintage sari ribbon to tie it all together.
This Journal Wrap has a multitude of uses including journalling,
sketching, painting, scrapbooking, doodling, cookbook etc. 

The way you create one of these is entirely up to your own choice!
My book is just one choice I can share here with you.

So if you want to start making one just begin by pulling out from

your stash a selection of some favourite fabrics, velvets,

silks, doilies, ribbons, buttons spreading them out along with some

notepaper and art paper after chosing a theme (or not)

and have a go because that's all I did!

I think Lilla may have a You Tube video where she

explains her way of creating one of these.

Also Nellie of Early Morning Thoughts
teaches a type of wrap at Creative Workshops.  So
you can check this one out also.

Thank you all for coming to visit and leaving such

wonderful comments!

Hope your week is going well!
