Turning a Dust Jacket into a Journal Page

Do you have some great paper that is a little fragile? You really want to use it, but are worried that it won't hold up to being used in a journal? Well, me too! I have this amazing dust jacket that was a bit worn along where the spine sat, so I needed to reinforce the paper and make it a bit more sturdy. I decided to do a bit of collage to both strengthen the paper and add more interest to the pages. I then decided to decorate some pockets out of the inside parts. Grab your supplies and lets make some Art from the Heart!

Your book jacket looks great. I love using them. They make nice soft book covers. Fabric will help add stability and texture to your spine area. Have fun creating for your friend.

Fabric is definitely a way to help reinforce that area and you can get some great texture! They are a great and versatile resource to use in lots of ways for junk journals. Thank you for your lovely comment!
