Jenny of ELEFANTZ issued a tea towel challenge to her readers. One of her tea towel projects is a simple but pretty diary cover! I love how this turned out – what a pretty print, and the bookmark with charms on it takes it to the next level (from basic to beautiful). Here at Dollar Store Crafts, we’re all about the tea towel crafts. What have you made from a tea towel? [tea towel diary cover instructions]

Project Estimate:

  • Tea towel (or scrap fabric), on hand or $1
  • Ribbon, on hand or $1
  • Charms, on hand or $1
  • Sewing stuff, on hand

Total: FREE and up

    Love it! Reminds me of covering books with paper bags in high school! You could easily use fabric glue or fusible web instead of sewing

    I can’t wait to make this! My best friend and I collect journals and often trade them back and forth. She’ll be so excited to get one of these!
