Need that finishing touch for your journal? We’ve got you covered. After completing a set of two soft cover, leather books you’ll experiment with a variety of ways to secure them. You’ll explore ways to use buttons, leather straps, sticks, and metal hardware to create up to five closures per book (as time allows). Bring your own embellishments (buttons, ribbons, etc.) that you’d like to use for closures. You’ll leave this workshop with two books measuring 9.5″ x 6.5″, along with a detailed handout and resource list for all materials used.
