D.I.Y : Road Trip Journal Bags

Happy Friday everyone! I'm starting to pack for a road trip with my sister that's happening in a few weeks and one of the main things on my list to pack is my craft supplies. Since I've been so into journaling lately, I tried to find some "road trip journal cards" and thought, I don't mind buying some I just couldn't find what I was looking for. Then an idea popped in my head! I could make some myself! So here is a D.I.Y. for all of you : Road Trip Journal Bags!


This is what they'll look like when you're done


Okay! Since it's been forever since I've done a D.I.Y. I hope I get this right!
Supplies :
* Scissors
*An old map 
*Washi Tape
Optional - Paper trimmer (I'm terrible at cutting straight lines, this Westcott was a gift from Mack and there isn't a single project that I don't use it)




First : Cut the size map you want, keeping in mind you have to double the width since it'll be folded. I wasn't too picky about how large I wanted it to be.



Second : Pick your washi tape! This is the perfect project to break out your stash.


Third : Fold your map evenly in the back and tape it down with your washi tape. 


Finally : There are 2 ways you can do the bottom : Fold the bottom up just a bit (no more than 1/2 an inch) and tape it down OR don't fold it up and just tape it! 


Happy Crafting!

Craft Haul!

I love when twists are added to days, like everyday I picked my little sister up and dropped her off with my mom. However, instead of saying our goodbyes we decided to make the most of what was left of the day by going craft shopping!! We went to all of the craft stores in our area (the day ending not quite how we were hoping but still!) 


There was such a great sale going on! 50-70% off! I was able to get all of this stuff for $30!!

Simplicity.

Sorry for my absence, but with a new year comes new hobbies (or upgrades of past hobbies.) Getting together with my best friend Chenice defiantly got my inspiration back. We had so much fun catching up and craft shopping and are so excited to start making our clothes! Keep posted for adventures!!

Have any of you used patterns, or have tips for beginners?
