Tutorial Tuesday - Toilet Roll Journal

Posted on the 22 October 2013 by Realityarts @realityarts

In today's Tutorial Tuesday I will show you how to make this journal made from toilet rolls and recycled card. With the drive to be more 'green' this is a great way to make use of something that you would normally throw away.
What you will need:
empty toilet rolls
recycled cardpackaging card - a few millimetres thickpapers and art materials to decorate.....
Here's how you put them together:
Each empty toilet roll will form a pocket for your journal, select how many you require, this journal uses 10 rolls. The card will be used to connect each rolls togetherYou will need two pieces of slightly thicker card taken from packaging - these will form the front and back coversFlatten the toilet rolls and cover with some scrap paper, I have used the pages of an old encyclopediaSeal one of the ends of the toilet roll, as you cover it above, to form a pocket that can be used to hold your tags, or journal writing.Cut the recycled cards into strips that will be stuck to the sides of the toilet roll pockets and connect them all.
Stick the pieces of card to as many toilet roll pockets you require..Prepare the front covers and attach.  You can paint them or add decorative paper of choiceAdd paint as required to each of the pages, and make tags from some of the left over paper and cardFrom this to that - it's cool how you can take an everyday object and transform it!Add some encouraging words and text to the pages, leave space for you to write your thoughts Enjoy spending time in your journal!There is still 9 hours left for you to enter last weeks competition to win a Capturing moments mini journal.  Click here to take you to the post to enter.
