Simple journal made from envelopes

3/8 Edited to

Creating a journal from envelopes is a fantastic way to recycle and personalize your stationery. I tried this method myself, and one of the things I loved was how customizable it is—you can choose any size or design of envelopes to reflect your style. Starting with a handful of envelopes, you simply need to bind them together using staples, stitching, or even washi tape to secure the spine. The inner pockets provide perfect little spaces to tuck away mementos, receipts, or little notes, which adds a charming, interactive element to your journal. Another tip I found helpful is to decorate the covers with stamps, stickers, or handwritten quotes to make it truly unique. I also experimented with different types of paper inside the envelopes for writing pages, mixing lined, blank, and even watercolor paper, making it versatile for sketches or journaling. This project is not only affordable but also environmentally friendly, as it repurposes envelopes that might otherwise be discarded. Whether you're looking to start a new habit of journaling or want a creative gift idea, a simple journal made from envelopes is both functional and creative. Plus, it was enjoyable to use the envelopes' natural folds and textures to create a rustic, handmade feel that you just don’t get with store-bought journals.
