Dollar Store Crafts. Home Page | Sublime Stitching. Duo Fiberworks - Duo Fiberworks - Tutorial: Rustic Leather Sketchbook. We're going to be posting tutorials for stocking stuffer gifts for children every day this week. I loved opening stocking gifts when I was a kid but now I am a mom responsible for filling that stocking up and I don't enjoy the process as much. Filling the stocking always seems to be a last-minute chore where I spend too much money and buy too much plastic junk and candy. So this year, I am working ahead, using materials I already have in my studio, to make gifts for my boys and Laura's boys to put in their stockings.
This first tutorial is the most complicated, but also makes a nice gift for almost anyone- it's a little rustic leather sketchbook. My boys are always sketching something or writing down potions and spells, this 32-page sketchbook will serve well for anything they come up with. If you don't want to use leather you could use felt or a sturdy felted sweater piece. Now I am not a book maker by any means, but I managed to make a sturdy little journal and you can make one too.

DIY Inspo. Morro. Natur. Smykker. Klær. A Belated Valentine. Hello everyone! February is just flying by, and so far it has been full of exciting changes. I turned twenty-three, relocated to a new city and started my first post-college job. Earlier this month I began working as a Jr. Graphic Designer at Stampington & Co. — an arts and crafts magazine publisher. Their range of publications includes Artful Blogging, Somerset Studio and so many others (I'm still getting to know them all!).
That being said, I've been extra busy adjusting and getting settled, so I'm afraid this Valentine project I've been preparing for you is a little belated. I hope you'll still take the time to flip through this "Old-Fashioned Valentine Craft Booklet" to learn how to make vintage-inspired, classic Valentines.
