Handmade Accordion Journal
$19.00
These little accordion journals are my favorite. They are so simple, and the watercolor paper is perfect for drawing, painting, and collage. I will show you how to make the journal folds and a beautiful cover. It’s the pleasure of taking your time, and making something useful and beautiful with our hands.
This is a video based class (34 minutes) with a supporting PDF. It’s self-paced with lifetime access.
I love making accordion journals. They are simple and beautiful, and the small size means you can carry them in your bag and create on the go. (This is one of my secrets to my creative success.) I don't like measuring and exactness, but of course when you make a book, it requires a certain amount of that. I take a lot of pleasure in taking out all the difficulty and guess work for you so that making these journals is simple and pleasurable.
I'm excited for you to get started!
