MINI JOURNALS!


Before: Medicine box!
After: Journal!
A few nights back I was inspired by Jennie's youtube channel, again, and made just had to make these journals from medicine boxes and toilet paper tube. I always feel guilty throwing these out wondering if there is anything I can do with them? Well, yes!!

Pill box journal / Front cover

This is the toilet paper tube!

spine view
I glued tags inside in order to use the string, for tying the book closed

Another made from a paper tube! I love the button:)


  
I have so much paper left over from my scrapping days, i could make a hundred of these and still have paper left over. Now I have two macaroni boxes and three papertowel tubes waiting in the wings:)
Happy Tuesday! Enjoy this day. Its cold, gray and rainy here
in my corner of NY today. Hopefully the sun will peek out later.

You are so clever Fran :) I'm a toilet roll hoarder myself...I think I imagine I'm going to come up with a brilliant artistic idea and make a million one day! :)from the rolls.

Andrea, you might like it. I always find something interesting. YouTube is good because they also put related videos to the side. So much to see online and so little time:)
