Travel journal covers

I like to decorate the covers of the Moleskines I use as my travel journals, so that I can easily tell them apart. I had a bit of a backlog, with my Kyoto and Italy journals still not decorated years later, so when I added my Vietnam one to the pile I decided it was time to buy a new tub of Mod Podge and get decorating!

I like to use patterned paper as the main part of the decoration. Origami paper works best in terms of not wrinkling, and I used it on the Kyoto and Vietnam ones. For the Italy one I used some marbled paper that I had bought in Florence. I cut some of the lettering using a die cutter, but I also used some lettering stickers on the Vietnam one. I love how that turned out, because it reminded me of the mish-mash of retro fonts I’d seen on shop signs in Vietnam.
