This personalized journal makes a great gift for a loved one who loves to sketch, write or make lists. Why not decorate a plain notebook or journal with a picture of your loved one when he was a kid or use one of your friend’s doodles that she made when she was six?
Total cost for the finished product as shown in the video can be as low as $15 CDN (without the gesso and paint, as low as $9).
Note that MLC projects use a lot of the same materials over and over. For example, if you end up buying gesso and only use a small portion of it with this demo, you’ll probably see a demo in the near future where the gesso is also used. This avoids waste and unnecessary expenses. Or, why not ask your friends to chip in for the cost of materials and have a gift-making party and use up all the supplies in one shot?

Wow, that is amazing! What a great way to personalize a journal notebook! I have so many ideas now for Christmas presents and birthday presents. Thanks!
This is awesome. Great video.
Thanks for the compliments and I hope you have fun recreating the project or use it to build on your own ideas.
BTW, I have a comment on Youtube that says that I am talking too fast in the video. Did you have trouble understanding what I was saying? If so, I will maybe have to revise the voice-over.
