Creative journal cover with a touch of recycling

This picture of Jacob was taken this summer...His voice is not as high-pitched anymore and he's taller and super skinny, but his creative genes are as always...on the rise! Earlier this week, his 7th grade teacher told him that if he kept his grades up he would be able to paint a wall in the school hallway! He is sooooooo stoked and already thinking what he is going to paint!! Woot! Woot!


As promised, here is a creative take on covering a composition book my grandson needed for school. He cut off straps from an old helmet he no longer needed and stapled one on both front and back covers. This way his journal had a secure closure. He wanted duct tape to cover the spine and most of the staples, but I only had green colored tape...so he improvised. He added some doodling and a patch that he enhanced with his red permanent marker.
