DIY: Make your own vintage style passport cover!

It’s been so long since I brought you all a new tutorial! I’ve been a serious busy bee these past few weeks and although I’ve been crafting away on certain DIY projects, I haven’t actually finished them! I do apologise but you can definitely expect to see them in the next few weeks! I’ve been brainstorming new ideas for diys and in light of my coming travels I thought why not make some adventure-type diy’s!

The steps are so easy there’s really no need to explain anything, the pictures say enough. Here we go! :]

And you’re done! This tutorial is really really simple. It’s pretty basic and straight forward to follow but this tutorial can be used not only for passports! Books, sketchbooks, scrapbooks, journals.. anything that has that general bookish shape! I don’t know about you but I don’t particularly like the colour of my passport and this fabric was too cute not to use. (and too small to use on anything else!) This tutorial is really really simple.

Tick tock

 I’m really loving my new camera and I think it’s given me a new lust for life, between speeding through my note book of to-do lists (something that usually doesn’t happen so quickly) ticking each one off and snapping pictures around the homestead of everything and anything that takes my fancy, the past two days have been productive to say the least! New tutorials have been done, photographs have been taken, a resolution has been fulfilled, alterations are sewn up and I even managed to do a little outfit shoot today- gasp!

Mentioning on Twitter earlier today I realised, to my horror, at just how little time I have left in Ireland. Why do I think it’s still the beginning of July? I have 23 days left to get things organised until I am actually basking in glorious South African sun (and probably dying from the intense heat!) so even though I am excited, I’m nervous as hell and starting to panic about everything! I feel like I’m running out of time to spend both at home, with friends and seeing my boyfriend, all before I leave! Some serious planning is in order I think..

How has your Monday been? XO
