DIY: My Own Travel Dairy

For those of us who love to travel, maintaining a Travel Dairy or a Travel Journal is a great idea! As for me, I haven't carried one during my previous trips but I do feel the need to keep one in my backpack in future.

Here in this blog post I'm showing you a creative way to design your journal or dairy. We do get readymade travel journals in supermarkets but there is a different beauty in creating something ourselves and then using it.

A little about Travel Dairies/ Journals....
A Travel Journal needn't have any elaborate articles about our trips but could have some of the main points or highlights we wish to keep in mind about our journey. We can include points like:
1. Areas of interest in the place we wish to visit
2. The details of the place which we visited
3. Cost details/ important contact numbers (hotels/ cabs/ tour guides etc.) which we wish to note down
And an array of other information.

So let's get creative and create a beautiful travel dairy, shall we?

Things you'll need:
1. A dairy or notebook (could be even an exercise book)
2. Some picture and word cuttings which you wish to include on the dairy cover
3. A pair of scissors
4. Fevicol
And some chai and creative inspiration.

Steps:
1. Cut out some pictures and letterings you wish to include in your travel dairy

2. Apply fevicol on the pictures and stick them to the cover of your notebook as you wish.

3. Add letterings or wordings as per your liking


4. Cut out some gift wrapping paper and stick it to the corner sides of the notebook to get some rich border


5. Cut out some flowers using color paper. Also some rectangular paper shapes for writing the words 'Travel Dairy'.  This is wholly optional.



6. Using sketch pen/ glitter pen write the words 'Travel Dairy'and your name on the color paper that you just stuck.



Use your creativity and modify the way your travel dairy will look!
