initial journal for girls?

MIstyA85

My 7 year old neices want journals with their names or initials on them. They have cute girlie ones at Justice for $25 but I was thinking I could get them a simple one for a lot cheaper and then maybe embellish the front. They like really sparkly and girlie. Anyone have any cute ideas of how I could embellish it and where I could get a journal with blank or lined pages? Thanks!

Here's a tutorial for making a fabric cover for a journal. A simple composition notebook would work, they're $2-4.

I would totally go this route too. I didn't look at the tutorial, but I bet you could hand applique their initial on the front with some sparkly embroidery floss to make it more "them".

If you don't want to do fabric and instead want to specifically embellish, I'd go to Michaels- they have initial journals and then use crystals, decoupage paper, etc. around the already printed initial.
