Take a piece of heavy paper that is 18 inches X 10.5 inches. Fold it in half one way and then the other. Continue folding until you have 8 squares as shown above.You are now going to cut a T as shown above in the area with the black marker. As you can see this will create two flaps.
Fold the flaps back as shown above. These will be the front and back cover for the journal.
Fold the top half behind. Now you are ready to fold your journal.
Fold into an accordion and you are done :) If you want you can add signatures to it as well.

I've made these before, for the kids at my church in the Way Fun Wednesday program where I volunteer. WE had so much fun making these and they all turned out so cute and they were fun and easy.
It's funny because it seems to be so straight forward but almost everyone in the class got a bit confused about which way to fold the flaps and then even the teacher started getting confused. LOL...
