Happy New Year! This is the best time of year to start an art journal. I like to make these perfectly imperfect little journals which are a fun way to use fabric AND paper making “paper cloth!” The assembly and binding are pretty easy using only a few tools and some scrapbook sheets. These starter journals are just waiting to be decorated with your art and creativity.
