Create Your Own Summer Travel Journal

Summer usually signals a break in our normal routines, be it a long vacation stay or perhaps just a few interesting day trips here and there.  Either way it is an opportunity for us to make some memories and preserve them in a handmade travel journal. 


Create Your Own Summer Travel Journal

Directions:

Step one:  Fold a large sheet of watercolor paper into eight sections. Make a cut lengthwise between the second section to the end of the third section. Fold in half lengthwise, push paper together to make a four page book.
