2. Scraps of paper, glitter sheet, yarns and pages from story books
3. Scissors
4. Acrylic Paint
5. Yarn Needle
6. Paintbrush
7. Uhu Glue Tube
8. Markers

Instructions:

Step#2:

Fill up your illustration with markers and paste cute writings cut out with glitter sheet scraps using uhu glue.

Step#3:

Doodle the corners of your diary with some fun scalloped pattern like I did below.

DIY: Recycled Owl Scrapbook

Hello there everyone. It is my Goal 2016, to recycle every single piece of scrap that I have and convert them into something cute. I will be giving lots of fun crafty diys in 2016. So be sure to check back my blog every day. I will be posting new Idea every single day.

Today I will share this cute owl Scrapbook which I recycled from using scraps of paper which you would otherwise throw away:

I doodled the owl pages and left space for adding photos.

I pasted scraps of paper in one way on the inside pages to create quirky fill-up pages.

The fun part was I doodled buttons on scraps of white paper and used them as owl's eyes.

In the end I punched a hole on one side of owl ear & tied ribbon as binding.

Looks cute right?

Thanks for checking out my idea hope you will try it yourself & recycle more this year.

DIY: Boxers Journal Cover

Hello kiddies :>. I was busy all day making crafty things for a friend's birthday. These days I am blogging at the "Edge of my life"(meaning on very last moments). It is kind of alarming as I have not scheduled out anything. The one week vacation really screw up my pattern big time for sure. But it also teach me a big lesson to plan ahead & prepare posts in order to save myself from last minute "hassle". Today I want to show you a diy that I completed two weeks ago but I never got a chance to blog post about it. I shared it's video on my instagram few weeks ago, you can check it right here.

Check out this week's diy project:

Things You Will Need:

• An Empty Journal Cover
• Paint Brush
• Marie's White Acrylic Paint(Or any other lighter shade will do)
• UHU Glue Tube
• Pentel's White Poster Paint
• Scissors
• Felt Piece
• Art Card Piece
• Temporary Marker(White Board Marker, not shown in photo. Any good brand would do)

Instructions:

Step#1: 

Draw nerdy looking boxer undies(or anything Geeky which appeals to you), using temporary marker. White board marker works best. Why am I using white board marker to draw on cover?. Simple, so that if I do some mistake in "doodling", I could easily rub it off from cover & then draw again ;). How's that little trick?^.

Step#2:

Paint your boxers by mixing Marie's Acrylic & Pentel's white poster paint. The reason I chose white color is because the cover of journal is itself very dark in shade. When you decide to finally paint, choose a light shade for your doodles if your journal cover is darker in tone.

Step#3:

Using UHU Glue Tube, paste your piece of art card on felt cut out. Trim it messy from edges like the way I have done. This is where you write your journal label or your name tag^.

Step#4:

Label your new journal cover:>.

*Done*

Note: Do not use lacquer spray or any type of varnish on top of your journal if it is made of leather or any other plastic material. The cover will become sticky and won't dry. As leather/plastic fabric does not absorbs the gloss.

This is how my journal cover looks. How does your version looks?^. Share with me on instagram by tagging @saoirsechic I will feature my favorites.

In order to protect your new journal cover, you can cover it with plastic sheet too if you want^^.

Happy Journaling!

xo,

Seresha
