Before adding a second or third coat of Mod Podge, you can paint your papers to add extra details and more life to your design. Before we look at some beautiful creations, let’s go through how to make journal covers. This guide is essential for people who are new to the craft. I’ve had this embroidery starter kit for literally years and it’s just been taking up space in my WorkBox 3.0 craft cabinet, so I might as well finally put it to use.

However this does not stop us stitching and this week I am excited to share with you a little stitch along (sort of) idea that I have been working on. It promises to keep you occupied during isolation or if you have lots of other projects on the go you can do this in between or save it for later. Mini Embroidery Journal Felt is a type of textile material that’s made of matted, condensed, and pressed fabrics. It could be wool, acrylic, or other types of synthetic fibers. Embroidery hoops – I prefer a 12 inch hoop, but you can also use a smaller sized hoop. You’ll also need a smaller hoop for a portion of this guide – a 5 inch hoop should do. These can be used to decorate the embroidery hoop itself and/or keep the fabric tighter in the hoop For those that are just now discovering what an embroidery journal is for the first time, let me break it down for you. Once a day, I add an icon to my embroidery journal. This icon will be in some shape or form related to my day. It may be something I did, how I was feeling, somewhere I went, or even something I ate that day. Basically, it can be anything I want it to be as long as it relates to my day.

The inside of your journal cover is probably exposed to the raw edges of the fabric. To get rid of this, you can cut out some pieces of fabric and cardboard. Lay the edges of the inner and outer felt pieces overlapping each other and sew around the edges of your entire journal. You can use a machine if you have one, or sew with your hand if you want to maintain the unrefined look of most felt journals. If you have a Silhouette or Cricut machine, you could even make your own out of cereal boxes (really!) Just like you did with your fabric, spread open your journal on your piece of felt. Measure a larger triangle of 2″ around your journal. Cut out once you’re done with your measurement. Once your hoop size is set, you need to decide how you want your journal to be designed or laid out.

Measuring 5.75 inches in width, 8.375 inches in height, and .625 inches in depth, these journals are the perfect size to carry with you or keep on your desk. They are a tangible expression of your faith and a wonderful way to infuse spirituality into your daily life. Crafted with care, this journals feature a generous 72-sheet count, providing you with ample space to pen down your thoughts, prayers, and inspirations. The covers are made of beautifully embroidered faux suede, adorned with intricate and delicate artwork and scripture verses.I love this marker and eraser set and also this air-erasable pen, but there are others that erase with water or heat If you already have a smaller embroidery hoop, you could of course use it and just move the fabric around in your hoop as you work through the months/sections.

Rejoice in the Lord as you journal your thoughts, prayers, and reflections in this beautiful Embroidered Journal. It serves as a constant reminder to find joy in your faith journey and to celebrate the Lord’s presence in your life. Are you the type who likes to own personalized things? The type that likes the idea of journals unique to your personality? To add flair to your felt design, you can add small decorative items, embroidery, glitter, or other materials that can be glued or sewn on the felt. What makes these journals truly remarkable is the artistry that goes into their design. The larger parts of the art are masterfully embroidered onto the cover, creating a tactile and visually stunning effect. Meanwhile, the finer details are expertly printed, ensuring a harmonious blend of texture and design. Start with the top and bottom edges. Then, the left and right edges. Finally, you may want to give the edges a professional touch by creasing the triangle into the corners.Elevate your journaling experience with our Embroidered Journal – Rejoice in the Lord, a perfect blend of art and faith. Weight The easiest method for accomplishing this is tracing it, but you could always freehand it and just draw it without a template, or if you wanna get super fancy, sketch it onto your fabric using a Silhouette or Cricut. Template – printed out or displayed on a tablet or laptop screen. I’ve designed a 2023 template. I’ll be using my laptop for the below method. However, since I’m a crafty gal (ahem, I do have a DIY blog, after all), I’m always on the hunt for a fun new hobby or skill to learn.
