DIY Fake Leather Journal Cover with Glycerine-Preserved Leaves

Hello my creative friends! 🌿 In this video I’m showing you how I preserved real leaves using glycerine, then turned them into beautiful vintage-style covers for two 5″ × 7.5″ junk journals (1.5″ spine). The cover technique is something I haven’t found any tutorials for — using leaves as the main decorative element gives a unique leather feel that blends beautifully with a worn-map vintage aesthetic. 🎞 What you’ll see: – How to prepare and preserve leaves with glycerine – How I built the cover structure for a half-hardcover style journal If you love handmade journals, vintage style, mixed-media art, or botanical elements in your craft projects, this one is for you.
