Kid Embellished Journals

Handcrafted end papers featuring kid drawings transform basic journals into keepsakes. A journal of any size will work. Measure the books original end paper, then cut picture so that its slightly wider to accommodate the fold. Next, use a paintbrush to apply white glue evenly over the end paper. Lay artwork over glued area and press, starting at center and working out. Wipe off any excess glue; a parent can trim the edges with a utility knife if needed. Close the journal, and stack heavy books on top. Let dry overnight.
