DW DIY - River Song's Diary

15. July 2013

I always see selfmade Tardis journals on the internet, so I decided to try it myself! I think it’s really ok! I’ve seen better, but I’ve also seen worse.

You need:

-         A blank Notebook

-         Cardboard/ Thick Paper

-         Glue

-         Scissor & Craft Knife

-         Tissues

-         Blue Paint

I found this blue Notebook, but the colour doesn’t matter, ‘cause you’ll paint over it in the end. At first you cut the paper into the size of your book and draw on the pattern. I cut off the black marked areas to leave a little gap between the parts. Don’t forget that you need it twice, for the front- and backside.

Then, glue it on your book and let it dry. Apply more glue and cover it in a few layers of tissues. Push the tissues around the edges to make it a bit rounder. It will take a few hours until it’s completely dry, so you have to wait. When it’s dried you can start painting your notebook. After the colour is dried, you can apply darker blue on a tissue or sponge and rub over it, to make it look more rustic. 

 

That’s it! Now you have your own Tardis diary!
