Small Purple Journal

 

For some reason I'm finding it easier to make journals than to sew right now.  My youngest son's birthday is the end of this month and his favorite color right now is purple, so I decided to make him a small journal.  This one is made from copy paper that has been cut in half and then folded in half, so it's smaller than the ones for my granddaughter.

It is composed of 4 signatures with 4 sheets in each signature.  The end pages are purple 24# paper.  The book cloth is made from left over quilting fabric bonded to tissue paper with sewable heat 'n' bond.  The book board is made from two layers of cardboard (brownie mix boxes) glued together, and the spine board is a single thickness of the same cardboard.
