Sometimes I want a vintage-looking page without actually dyeing the paper. I have used sewing pattern paper to achieve this result. For now I will be using this small journal to glue my water color art and hold a few recipes.
Total Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 1
Supplies:
- any paper page or journal of blank pages
- sewing pattern cut to fit paper
- scissors
- washi tape
- piece of ribbon
- large paper clips
- glue stick - I used a large one
Steps:
- Cut sewing pattern to fit paper.

- Cover page with glue, using glue stick. Place sewing pattern over glue covered page.
- Place washi tape between pages.

- Take ribbon and put through large paper clip. Tie a knot or a bow. I used a tiny rubber band. My ribbon piece was too short to tie.

- Set pretty paper clip aside and put one plain paper clip on each page. This is for pretty papers, recipes, receipts, etc.

- Close papers with the pretty paper clip.
