Cover for journal/needlebook/address book etc.
I finished the cover for the journal Christmas gift.
The piece of filet lace I used for the foundation was not long enough to make the flap so I added an extra piece of wide lace to either end.
You can clearly see the elastic cording I threaded across the top and bottom to hold it snug. And it makes it easy to transfer the cover to another book.
It is exactly the same technique I used when I covered the journal I use to record stitches.
On this though I used the gold elastic they sell to wrap Christmas packages. The foundation for this cover was a vintage crocheted placemat. There are more directions here.

such a beautiful cover for a wonderful book
Somebody is going to be very lucky indeed to receive this!
Beautiful and a great tip about the elastic along the edges. I've never made a pretty lace journal cover, mine have always been fabric. But I might just have to try one after seeing yours :)
So beautiful!
So pretty, as always. As you know, I keep saying that I love your creativity.
Christmas greetings,
Rengin
