Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you need to come up with a theme for the design of the diary. For what purposes it will be used and by whom. Most often, teenage girls or young girls are engaged in such creativity. Therefore, it will be used for personal records, for example, as a diary or a book for writing down recipes and other little things. These kind of diaries can be of different sizes, from miniature, for a handbag, to large formats, which are stored in the bedside table.
When choosing a diary for decoration, you should pay attention to the binding, the quality of the pages, whether they are lined or not, as well as the size. If it will be used for writing, it is best to choose a lined, dated diary. For those who like to draw sketches, a diary with blank pages is suitable.
Step 2
It is worth starting to design with a ready-made idea, a full vision of the final result. This is where stationery is required. Anything that comes to hand can be used. It is worth starting, again, from the idea and purpose of the diary.
The diary design for personal entries in the form of a diary can be done in warm, pastel shades, using soft fabric for decoration. It is enough to take a piece of silk or velvet and cut it out according to the size of the diary. Take the glue and cover the outside of the cover with it, immediately attaching the prepared piece of fabric. The edges of the fabric can be wrapped inside the diary. To hide them, you can cut the corresponding halves out of glue-based paper and close the edges of the fabric on both sides of the diary. Thus, you can get a new cover and start decorating it. These can be rhinestone patterns that are attached using glue or heat treatment. Ready-made appliqués, fabric flowers and beads also do a great job of decorating. If there are remnants of lace, then you can let it go, decorating around the edges of the diary.
An original and beautiful bookmark is made from a piece of decorative braid or thin ribbon. Attach it easily with PVA glue.
Step 3
Having dealt with the external design, you can make the diary more original by decorating it also inside. There is a little secret: take simple colored pencils and use a blade to cut small shavings like sand onto the page of the diary. Then you should lightly shade this pollen across the page, giving intricate patterns or making a solid background. So, the diary will become even more original and interesting.
