Specifically, rebinding old books into journals. This was my first one, I completed it a few weeks ago. I picked up the book at a used book store for $5 and the rest of the materials I already had on hand. The book was in okay shape but I did rip the spine a little while tearing the pages out. I used coffee stained drawing paper that was hand torn while wet to give the pages uneven edges. I also kept some of the original pages of the book. Mostly, the parts I actually liked or thought had special meaning about love or religion.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-425\" title=\"journal (2)\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovepapercrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/4354555210_81f7d5e0e5_o.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-426\" title=\"journal (5)\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovepapercrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/4353809641_0918fa2cde_o.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-427\" title=\"journal (15)\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovepapercrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/4353809847_f8e9da88c9_o.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-430\" title=\"journal (13)\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovepapercrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/4354555080_1834abf783_o.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve even begun writing in it and throwing a few pictures between the pages. I thank all those movies and TV shows where people keep these amazing journals for this idea. Now I&#8217;m always stopping by used book stores and the library looking for old books to do this to. By the way, used books are so cheap at the library $0.50 &#8211; $1.00. I&#8217;ll probably be giving these away as Christmas presents. I think I&#8217;ll make a tutorial for rebinding old books into journals in the future when I get a little better at it. I found so few tutorials on how to do this I kind of just made it up as I went along and learned quite a few lessons. I have a much larger book titled <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Australia<\/span> that I plan on making into a travel journal for the day I finally visit the great continent of Australia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"\" data-essbisPostContainer=\"\" data-essbisPostUrl=\"https:\/\/www.lovepapercrafts.com\/rebinding-an-old-book-into-a-journal-and-sketchbook\/\" data-essbisPostTitle=\"Rebinding an old book into a journal and sketchbook\" data-essbisHoverContainer=\"\"><p>So my latest venture into arts and crafts is the rebinding of books.
