What Ive been DIYing: Antro inspired notebooks


Jacket: Gap outlet
Dress: Ross
Boots: thrifted
Necklace: XXI
Headband: spice
Im just going to skim over this outfit. The complete truth behind it is that I was bloating and didnt want something tight on my tummy.
On a more interesting note:


These have been a great project! They are so easy that I was able to invite some girls over to make some with me after they loved mine. They fit perfectly in a bible/planner/purse. And are way cheaper than the moleskins.

All you do is pick a scrapbook paper for the outside then put in some filler sheets. I then used dental floss to sew it together starting on the inside at the top.
Hope you enjoy them as much as I do. I eventually would like to paint on them/ sew fabric to them.
