Toilet Paper Journal

 Yes, like the title says this is a mini-journal made from toilet paper rolls. Amazing what you can do with a little paint, paper, and a few hours on a Saturday afternoon. This journal has five pages (five TP rolls). I flattened each roll, notched it, painted it, and then glued on some decorative papers. Each roll forms a pocket for a little journaling card or photo matte. The rings were a royal pain to slip through the holes, because I used key rings rather than binder rings (binder rings have a hinge that opens up like a pair of  jaws - much easier to use). I saw this project on You Tube, but I think if I were doing it over, I'd just make the pockets out of colored cardstock and save myself a ton of hassle.
