Adventures in Bookmaking!

Joy's Cub Scout Den Leader recently asked for help figuring out a tiny hiking journal for the Webelos to take on their upcoming hike.

I instantly knew how quickly I could design and produce 20 of these in the art studio with minimal supplies and effort. 2 hours later my community service project was complete!

I made this tiny hiking journal ready to use for anyone who wants to use it for kids (or themselves!), and it's available as a free download on my website:

The steps to assemble this little hiking notebook are on the blog post, along with a PDF to download and print on 14" x 8.5" legal-size paper. I even uploaded a video of how to do it so it's super clear, and gave many, many, many options on what you can use in place of a bookmaking bone folder if you don't happen to have one.

There's like. So many things you can use. In place of a bone folder.

Next time I'll make sure I frame up my video so you can see my face LOLz - so embarrassing! Happy hiking everyone!
