I’ve used a piece of my tea bag art as the focal point in this cover.
You can choose any interesting fabric to be your focal point.

Scissors or rotary cutter and mat, needles, sewing machine (optional)
Camera on your phone
A notebook to be covered. The fit of the cover is custom to your notebook/journal

Kind words from past students:
…I loved this art project and an so thankful for your help and guidance. The course was so easy and fun!
Who I am:
I designed this course because I wanted to make a custom cover for the notebooks I love to write in.
Maybe a hand-written journal or notebook is your favorite way to save thoughts. This made-by-you cover keeps things even more interesting!
One guide. One very personal journal.
I’ve been a mixed-media artist and teacher for about 10 years. I love to create using unusual materials like tea bags and ecoprinting on paper.
