DIY Stationery

With an expensive move across the country and being unemployed for 3 months, I don't have spare cash to throw at stationery purchases. Let's be honest, I can barely afford to purchase postage stamps!

How am I supposed to write letters without stationery!? I just have to get a bit creative.



I have a slight obsession with watercolors, especially because they kind of make everything look better. As you might notice, I have trouble drawing a diamond but the watercolors make it look alright. Maybe even cool. To make the stationery, I took plain printer paper and cut it in half. I made up a few designs and, using my favorite color combinations, colored them in using the watercolors. Super easy, super fun and super cheap. Super! I just used the last 2 sheets today and I'm itching to make some more with my new pearlescent watercolors. The swirl design is my favorite.

Go make things!
