Does your daughter need privacy? Then it's time to make her very own private diary. All you need are some old jeans, a few supplies, and a lot of imagination!

You will need:

Adult size denim pant leg with pocket
denim button & button hole
fabric paint
journal
hot glue



If you make this project we'd love to see it! Just send your photos and comments to the editor and it may get published on this page!

What you do

Begin by cutting the pant leg as if you were making a pair of cutoff shorts by making your cuts up the inside seam.

Lay the journal open so that the seam of the book is laying on the seam you have left on the pant leg on the wrong side of the denim. Trim around the book leaving 1/2 an inch of material all around the book.
