About this Event
This is a classic book crafts project with a crafty twist! Learn how to make a wraparound journal with art paper made with recycled coffee cups and characterful natural leather remnants from the upholstery industry. Long stitch is a traditional binding which is excellent for securing sections of paper within a flexible cover.
Personalise your new journal with a ribbon and charm bookmark and choose to either carve a "writing wand" that weaves between slots in the leather to secure the cover, or create a classic leather lace closure.
Colourful Faux-Leather fabric alternative is available.
