truebluemeandyou: from my kids blog. This would make such a great gift for kids, nieces, nephews, etc…
DIY Inspiration: Harry Potter’s “The Tale of the Three Brothers” painted by Liz Kirkham from her blog When Boredom Strikes here. I was looking for this picture that I had reblogged from someone else on Tumblr and realized the source was Pinterest (NO!). So I found the original source. Liz Kirkham painted the entire chapter of “The Tale of Three Brothers” from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Go to the link for really high resolution photos of her process. *In the comments Liz Kirkham said that a permanent marker may have worked better than a paintbrush. She wrote, “I used a can of really old black paint and a crummy paintbrush.”

Make a hand bound journal with decorative stitching that is so much nicer to hold than a spiral bound book.
Truebluemeandyou: One of the easiest, best photographed tutorials on this type of hand bound book. There is even a template to print out for where to drill/cut your holes for “sewing” the book together. And yes, I’ve taken book binding classes too.
