Twin Journals from Vintage Linen Towel

 Hello my friend!

I had this vintage hand towel with beautiful embroidery

but when it was hanging the design was covered up.

I decided to cut it in half and use it for something else-

I cut in half again to have a piece for front and back.

Then flipped one side around to have

lace edging on both sides.

I used my sewing machine to stitch around

the edges.

The two journals are similar, but a little different.

I used my sewing machine to stitch around

the edges.

Make your hole with a punch.

I use a Crocodile tool-

Add grommet/eyelet and crimp closed.

I bought these pony-tail holders at the Dollar Tree.

Loop the pony-tail holder through the eyelet.

Sew a button by hand on opposite side of cover.

I had two of these large vintage shank buttons.

They are a pretty pearlized blue.

Both books have the same signature pages.

I used my sewing machine

 to attach the signatures to the cover.

Good advice-

Be your beautiful self !

Here are the finished twin sisters!

I will be bringing

them to my Holiday Boutique next week.

I plan to sell them together.

So someone can give one as a gift

 and keep the other for themselves.

Thank you for stopping by today !

It's always nice to have you visit.
