I MADE MY OWN JOURNAL (DIY louise carmen-style)

I have loved using traveller's journals this year, so trifold leather journals (like the popular Louise Carmen and the Paper Republic trifold) have been on the top of my "want" list! However, after seeing people online show themselves DIY their own leather trifold journal, I decided to try it out for myself. I'm so glad I did because despite the slight learning curve (you'll see what I mean 😅), I think I was able to make something truly special for a fraction of the cost!
