How To Make Your Journal Appealing?

Recently, journals at PBO center get more expensive. So, I thought of just buying a notebook and revive it. Aside from having a journal, I also have a study journal wherein I write everything I learn during the day. But for this year, I needed another study journal. 

Last night after work, I ran straight to the bookstore and bought some designed papers, notebook and colored pens. (I really can't wait to do this). 





Materials you need:
*Notebook
*Colored||designed paper
*Colored pens||highlighter
*glue||scotch tape
*scissors


Cover the notebook's cover with designed paper. Make sure each side is evenly folded. 

Next, paste the edge of the paper to the notebook cover to seal it (as shown below). *For this, I used glue because I feel like it can hold the paper more and will give a clean outcome.

 If not satisfied, you can use scotch tape. *press gently


At the bottom, you can see excess paper. You may cut them out (see pictures below).




Fold both sides in a triangular shape. 





Fold again. (as shown) *press and paste

It will then look like this. (Do the same thing on the other side of the cover).


I love these stickers, so I'm going to put them in. 

                                                             Here you go! 


                                                           More stickers! 


On that same night, I started to write something I learn from my personal study. The outside looks appealing already, and for you to enjoy studying and find joy in writing, try to make the inside appealing also by using images, sticky notes and colored pencils.


Keeping a journal is really important and rewarding, writing down what we have been prompted with is vital. A special learning can be lost in the day through the rough and tumble of life. God should not and may not, choose to repeat the prompting if we assign what is given such a low priority as to put it aside. Because of the records of our ancestors we were guided, so as we, we will bless the lives of many future generations if we continue to keep our journals.
