Travel Craft Kit

Hello, sorry for not posting for a while but you know how the holidays are. I was looking around Pinterest when I came across this travel craft kit, my own has turned out very different but I love it.
We are going to Italy next week and I am proudly going to take it along.
 
I started of with finding an old fabric bag and making two slits on the outside of the seam. Once I had done that I started to thread some string through the seam. Then I had a perfect (and functioning) drawstring.
 
Then I decided to print the bag, my Mum still had some old fabric stamps. I put some cardboard inside the bag so that I wouldn't print through onto the other side of the bag. The printing was done with paint not ink.
 

 
With my bag drying I decided to make a scrap book of one of my grandpa's old notebooks. He had already ripped out all the pages he had written on. I started with covering the front cover with some rustic brown paper. Then printing it with horse stamp. I added some tape on the binding and a pocket at the back as extra touches.


I added tape, pens, a date stamp, diary, list pad and a Jeeves and Wooster book. My travel kit was complete.
