When instead you can buy the materials for another craft you donāt needšāāļø
But actually, I love writing/journaling and I knew I would use a journal cover like this a lot (especially because I love that they can hold multiple books that you can swap out when theyāre full) and I even made a mini one for my purse!! Did I need to buy whole hides, leather tools, etc.? Probably not, but theyāve made good giftsš
Iām so excited for the leather to patina already.

Storytime: I was on the search for a nice leather journal that I could refillā as a grad gift to myself, because Iām a lifelong writer & I rotate between 2-4 different journalsā and I fell in LOVE with the Paper Republic/Louise Carmen trifold style! Only thing is I wasnāt willing to pay $300 for what was basically a sheet of vegetable tanned leather that you could get anywhere and some fancy cords lol
Sadly I didnāt have leather suppliers in my area to make my own BUT I found an Etsy seller that made leather goods, including A5 sized journalsā came out to be $70 including shipping & tax and it is by far the best thing Iāve ever bought. The leather+stone color+cord color was part of the customization with no extra charge, and the charms at the spine were made by me using some necklaces I no longer used :)

Handmade refillable customisable notebooks that are so unbelievably beautiful. My mum got me this one in my favourite colours for Christmas engraved with my initials and every time I look at it it makes me feel warm and fuzzy. I've currently got four whole notebooks in it and a bunch of folded up sketches (it can hold up to six books!). The colour of the leather changes with a patina over time and it's already started to darken beautifully. I love it and I will treasure it for the rest of my life.
The company makes really soothing videos on tiktok where they custom make them to people's specifications and they're so relaxing to watch
