DIY Borders For Journal Pages

My country doesn't have fancy spiral bound notebooks with colored page-borders as subject dividers, so I thought 'hey I just make it myself then!' Not only can I now make regular borders, I can also add decorative elements to it. The acrylic paint puffs the pages a lot though. This medium probably wouldn't work that well in a hardcovered notebook as I can see the spine crack as multiple layers of paint get applied. Here I think I'd personally choose (not too soft) colored pencils for the project.

Painting borders on the pages is something I really got into in my current personal journal (which is just a plain spiral bound notebook). So far I like it, and I will definitely repeat it in future notebooks. 


This is how some of the borders looked like before I started writing on the page. 

Thanks for dropping by my blog.
