new homemade watercolor paper journal

 Water color Canson cold press paper 140.......cut in half....fold in half drill holes

 Tear edges buy hand all around paper about 11 inches x 8 inches

 Sew with good thick STRING . I made 3 pages to one section because the paper is thick.sew sections then sew the sections together . glue last page and first page to book cover.

 In one section I add beads seed beads you need to use a beading needle to do this and nylon type thread.
