Create, Create with Paper Beads

Have you tried turning an old book into a journal?  I have recently discovered how to alter a book into an art journal,  whether it is considered art journal or just plain journal it doesn’t matter it is your own journal and it is your own art.  There’s a lot of information out there I’m sure most of you are already familiar with.  My altered book journal is not finished yet but I am too excited about it, I have to show it to you.  I altered an old knitting/crochet book which is obsolete, I chose this book because first of all it has the sewn binding and it is just the right size.  Anyway, here it is…………

Here is a good tutorial on how to pick your book for an art journal from EraserqueenStudio:

Since I am the self-proclaimed Paper Bead Princess, I put paper beads on everything as you can see on the cover.

This is one of the unfinished page.  I sewed the sides of five pages put together.

Here’s one page that I finished last night with paper bead flowers 🙂

The little paper bead flowers are good for project like this.  I hope I have inspired you to do something with you paper beads today.
