August DIY Grimoires

It’s August! We’re doing something that can be done indoors in the air conditioning. We’re going to decoupage ourselves a little notebook that you can use as a grimoire, a sketchbook, or just a journal. 

In the box:

Journal

Lovely origami papers 

Pressed flowers and leaves

Stickers

A self-soothing texture sticker

A cute little sucker

Paintbrush and Mod Podge

Big honking satin spar crescent moon charging plate

Hive House button

No incense this month- it wouldn’t fit!

First, look through the journal kit. Pick out things you might want and put it on the journal dry. Once you figure out where you like it, take a pic and then get that mod podge out and get to gluing! You’ll want to use several coats, but let it dry between coats so you get a nice solid foundation for the cover. Rinse the brush out with water when you’re letting the glue dry so you can reuse it. 

If you’re coming to Anahata’s this year, I actually created this box for us to make this month, to fill the anxious waiting time. And then we can meet up in HiveHouse and show our journals off together! I can’t wait to see everyone again- and to welcome new faces into the family.
