Quite a few girls keep a personal diary, where daily events, dreams, ideas, experiences are recorded. Taking regular notes is not only fun, but also useful - the girl learns to formulate thoughts, as well as to reflect on actions. How to make a diary for a girl with your own hands?
This is not difficult. There are three options.
… You can buy an ordinary thick notebook and write down your thoughts in it.
… You can download an app on your phone or tablet that allows you to take regular notes.
Make a diary with your own hands. Let's dwell on this option, since the first two should not cause difficulties in implementation.
The diary consists of several main parts - this is the cover, the pages themselves and the fastener, which is made at your discretion.
From the materials you need to prepare white paper, cardboard, possibly fabric, ribbons. If you want the diary to be protected from prying eyes, you need to purchase a clasp or lock. Hardware departments may offer clasps.
Let's see how to make a personal diary in stages.
Stage 1
The first thing you need to do is create the cover. We will tell you how to create a fabric decoration. Using scissors, a rectangle is cut out of cardboard and bent in half - this is the cover. A fabric is taken - cotton, silk, linen and a piece is cut out of it 2 cm larger than the prepared rectangle. If you see that the fabric is crumbling, then grease the edges with PVA glue. Using threads and a needle, the fabric is sewn to the cardboard.
If you wish, you can decorate the cover with dried flowers, photographs, beads or embroidery.
Stage 2
Take notebooks or printer sheets. If they are larger in size than the cover, then use scissors to give them the desired dimensions. Initially, the sheet should be 2 cm larger than the cover. You can decorate them with stickers or drawings. With the help of a laser printer, they can "set" the desired background. Each sheet must be folded 2 cm, and glued to the fold line of the cover with the folds. Another option for "setting" the diary pages is to use thread and a needle.
Stage 3
If you purchased a clasp, it is at this stage that you need to install it. In most cases, the clasp can be attached momentarily.
If you have a small lock and a key, then you need to sew a tape on the cover on both sides. The lock will be installed on this braid. Step back from the top of the cover half its height and punch a hole with a hole punch. Do the same for the back crust. Slip the tape through. If you wish, you can not weigh the lock, but make a tie in the form of a ribbon.
A secluded place to store thoughts and ideas is ready!
