Journalling is a very personal expression of your thoughts and feelings. It becomes even more meaningful when the journal itself has been hand created by you.

To start, go to your local bookstore or roam through a few online book shops. Take a look at different journal styles to get inspiration. What textures and colors appeal to you? What styles and sizes would suit your needs the best?

Next, it's time to get supplies. Roam the aisles in your local craft shop and see what your options are. Ask your friends to collect odds and ends in the style you're after. Flea markets and tag sales can yield a treasure trove of items.

Spend a fun afternoon creating your own journal, and enjoy!
