So, if you have been saving a fun box just because it looks cool or has some special significance, then maybe you would like have it converted into a journal???? The books shown here in the photos are examples of books that I've made from boxes. But I want you to send me your own fun boxes for a completely personal, recycled, one-of-a-kind creation. For the pages, I typically use a mixture of recycled papers, found papers, different colours, lined, blank, graph, etc, whatever I have on hand. If you want a particular kind of paper for the pages, let me know. Note: The price shown here is for, what I would consider most average sized books, up to 7" or so. If your box is big and you want a large book, like the size of a big cereal box or something, then the cost might be higher.
