DIY : Geometric Journal

This little DIY was inspired by both Pie n' the Sky and A Beautiful Mess!

Supplies : Notebook, Paint (optional, I used white acrylic), glue, water, paint brush (or 2), magazines (I used old clothing catalogs), scissors

Step 1 : *Optional* Paint your notebook all one colour

Step 2 : Cut out lots of triangles! I made a little cardboard template so mine would all have the same shape

Step 3 : Mix some glue with water, and paint the mixture onto the back of your triangles, and place them on your journal

Step 4 : Place them in rows with little spaces between

Step 5 : I put a thin layer of the glue mix over the top of all the triangles once I finished, you could probably use mod podge, too!

Voila!
A cute new journal!
What would you use your new geometric journal for?

*Expect terrible quality photos for a while. My dad has been in one of his "I'm the only person in the house intelligent enough to use the cameras" mood. Basically, he hides all of our cameras, so that nobody can use them. It'll pass, but for now, enjoy the fuzzy iphone pictures!

P.S. Have any of you heard of this awesome little Wreck Your Journal thing? 

I just bought this from Modcloth the other day along with a pretty tunic, and I am so excited to start using it!

The book came with this whole warning on one of the first few pages saying how you may be asked to do some outrageous things, but you have to do them. 

This first page freaked me out. I almost couldn't make myself do it.

Crack the spine??

Scandalous!

(PSS I'm not even kidding)
