DIY Mini Journals for Kids

These fun DIY Mini Journals are so cute and easy to make. They are perfect for little ones to write their secrets in, or use as a tiny little art journal. My kids spent the entire afternoon filling their pages. These mini journals would make a sweet handmade gift as well!

Supplies needed:

White Cardstock

Colored Card Stock

Cricut Mini Digital Cutting Machine

Sewing machine or stapler

I made these mini journals using some simple shapes from my Cricut mini machine. This rounded rectangle is the back of a Thank You card that is included in the library. You can really use any shape for this project! I cut 4 rectangles out of white card stock. These rectangles are about 6 inches long.

Then I made the covers just slightly larger and added initials to the front to personalize them.

Then I had a lovely stack of cut card stock.

I folded them gently in half just to mark the middle point, then stacked them up. The white pages are underneath the colored cover in this picture. I used 4 white rectangles for each cover. I sewed straight down the middle, back stitching at each end. You can also use a stapler for this step, and just place two staples down the middle.

Just fold the mini journals in half, and they are ready to use.

I’d love for you to keep up on my new projects and recipes. You can follow me on Facebook and Twitter. You can also find me on Pinterest, that’s my favorite place to hang out and I’d love to see you there.
