Steps to making your journals!

1.) Obtain:  - 10 pages of watercolor paper
                   - 16 pages of other paper (graph paper or printer paper)

2.) Fold all paper in half to the best of your ability.

3.) Draw small lines with pencil on the crease of one watercolor page at:
                 - 1.5 inches
                 -  4.5 inches
                 -  7.5 inches

4.) An easy way to draw small lines in the proper area of the crease for each page is to line up pages (as pictured below) and use a ruler to mark the rest of the pages.

5.) Hole punch what would look to be "half holes" on the crease of each page.

6.) Choose a color of yarn or string and tie a large knot on one end.

7.) Sew the string through the top hole, middle hole, and bottom hole and alternate sewing from back to front. (This stitch is called a saddle stitch.)

8.) Once you have finished sewing, leave a little extra string to tie a knot to an area of the threaded string.

9.) Write your name nice and tiny in pencil on the front of your book.
