Art Journal Peek | A Tiny Book of Cut and Paste
I love love love making tiny books. You just fold a couple of papers together, and then you have something to keep working with/in/on.
This tiny book of cut and paste is one of the many mini art journals that I have made through the years. It is perfect for summer, if you’re going somewhere other than your home office or studio, because it can fit into a hand bag, for example.
I used neon pink duct tape for the spine, but I’ve also sewn it together like I usually do.
In this tiny Book of Cut and Paste the papers are mostly made out of my own painted papers, as the foundation. But it’s decorated with found papers (like wrapping paper and packaging) and bought papers (like scrap book papers).
Inside the papers I used are an eclectic mix of this and that. Some of the pages are more “done” than others, but I like all the spreads as they look here. Enjoy.
Tiny journals are perfect for smaller type images to get to shine, or for using decorative tape or stickers. They’re the perfect size for many (tiny) joyful moments. They make great little gifts too, but I have a hard time parting with mine when I’m all done.
I made this mini art journal a couple of years ago, but never got around to sharing the photos I took then. But it’s never too late in my world, to share something you’ve made – I hope you’ll agree.
Have you every made a mini art journal? Let me know if you too enjoy the small format at times. Because, as stated before, size matters.
Wishing you a creative and calm weekend.
How fun! Your mini art journal turned out so cute! Thank you for sharing it with us! Definitely made me smile! I do so enjoy seeing your creations!
I love this! That green music page with the pink polka dots just takes my breath away. And I’ve never seen that closure method before, that’s so clever. I think I’ll put together a little art journal this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love it, love it … LOVE IT!! : ) Hanna, do you know what size in inches that your little book is? I can not begin to tell you how much you inspire me with nearly everything that you share with s. Thank you so much for that and … for being your wonderful, special YOU! Hugs for you, my friend.
In the last comment, it was supposed to say share with US, not share with s. lol Sorry about that!
Oh, I love this so much! Thank you for sharing this–and for sharing all that you do!
I love these pages so much! To be honest, I am horrible at collages, so I think starting “tiny” like this, might be helpful! Thanks for the inspiration yet again!
Thank you for leaving me a comment. I hope you DO create some tiny collages, it is super fun and not hard at all. Good luck!
