Every writer should carry a MOLESKINE around with them everywhere they go! There are books, small enough to fit in your back pocket; medium sized ones for the purse; and the full size notebooks for school or a large volume of writing. Composition books are great and all, but they tend to wear and tare more easily than the MOLESKINE books. Composition books are also not as thin and they both hold the same amount of pages.
The variety of paper styles is a large aspect of the MOLESKINE books that make them appealing. They have books with graph paper, lined paper, blank pages; some fold over like a detective's notebook, some open like normal books; others have Velcro latching the book, or an elastic band. There are also day planners for the busy writer!
You can find MOLESKINE books at http://www.moleskineus.com/moleskine-books.html, amazon.com, or any local Barnes & Noble!
Journal Making Project
You will need:
1 MOLESKINE book (whatever size you want)
Enough leather (or whatever fabric you want to use for the cover) to cover the entire MOLESKINE
Hot glue OR needle and thread
Thin ribbon
Directions:
Take your MOLESKINE and cover the entire thing in the leather sheet or whatever fabric you chose. Use either a hot glue gun to glue the fabric to the cover of the book, or you can sew the fabric onto the cover. Cut off the extra fabric or fold it over and glue it onto the inside of the cover, as well. You can also glue paper with designs to the inside of the cover to cover your folds. Glue or sew the thin ribbon onto the inside of the MOLESKINE's spine to use as book marks. You can add any embellishments with glue or needle/thread; or any buckles, ribbons, or locks to keep the journal closed.
