Ever want to make your own journal? Here is how I made the inside of my River Song Journal. Tutorial for the cover is yet to come as soon as I find time.
To start out you will need a sharp pencil, scissors, eraser, and LOTS of paper. If you can use the same paper for the entire book that would look the best, but if not the journal should come out fine.
I used a templet for tracing out the pages. My templet was 6.5in by 4.5in. The book cover I am using works well with this page size.
Place your paper on a flat surface. I am using 9in by 17in (ish) paper.
For sizing the pages, I used the templet and traced it on the edge of a paper.
With my paper I was able to fit 3 journal pages comfortably on my paper.
This is how I cut a page out. I found that I could accurately cut out pages if I left large margins on the right side while keeping a short margin on the left side.
Cut off both of the side margins.
Cut the top rectangle off. I am saving the top section for another project, a quote bowl, that will be coming whenever I finish writing out the quotes.
Now erase the pencil marks on the edge of the paper.
Here are my 230ish pages!
Part 2 will come when my journal is bound. Look for that soon.
