Design & Bind: Create Your Own Notebooks w/ D. Prince Designs

Create your own mini (2.5x3) and standard (5x7) notebooks with unique abstract painted covers in this fun DIY workshop. Kristin of D. Prince Designs will demonstrate several techniques for painting abstract covers and assembling each notebook. First, participants will select a color palette, inspired by a favorite photo or nostalgia! Then, we'll assemble and bind each notebook with your choice of spiral binding, and finish each notebook with a beautiful ribbon bookmark. Take your notebooks home to use and enjoy! (This class is also great for kids 10+ accompanied by an adult).
