In November 2020 I made this faux leather traveler's notebook cover. I had a 12x12 inch piece of faux leather in my stash for 15-20 years. I was saving it for something special. Then one day I saw a journal by Sea Lemon on YouTube and went digging through my pile of scrapbook paper until I found this piece. The cover design was drawn with a black gel pen. The four corners have metal tips with an embossed filigree on them. There are 2 rings added to the top held on by the elastic threaded through the spine just in case I find some charms to add. Then there is the extra elastic closure that wraps around the center of the journal. I filled it with watercolor paper thinking I might take it to document a trip.
Inside I had placed 3 signatures, each of 6 sheets of 10x7 inches 140 lb. watercolor paper folded in half. There are only 2 elastic bands on the cover but by using a third band holding 2 signatures together, then slipping the center of the band under one of the existing bands, you can add that 3rd one. Well using the same method you could add a 4th one but the signature would need to be thinner probably.
