Best Friend Diary - Girl's Secret Diary

How to Make a Best Friend Diary
(A girl's secret diary about her BFF)




                     I created this BFF journal for my daughter and also gave one to her BFF.  It was super easy to make and created hours of fun for my daughter and her best friend. 


 

The picture above is of the back of the spiral. I didn't take a picture of the front of the spiral before I got started, but I wanted you to be able to see what type of spiral notebook I used.




I hot glued a fluffy boa around the border to the front of the journal, but be very careful not to get hot glue on the spiral part of the notebook or you won't be able to open and close it properly. 




I created a few different BFF fonts and different sizes to see which one I like and then I printed them.  I cut out the letters and then glued them on the front of the spiral.



I then thought of approximately 100 questions about her BFF.  I had a lot of Top 10 lists and there were questions like What movies have you & your BFF seen?, Describe your BFF, If you could go on vacation with your BFF, where would you go and what would you do?, List some of your funniest moments with your BFF, List your BFF's top 10 singers, etc...

It turned out really cute and the girls loved them.



Here's another idea for the cover of the Best Friend Journal & Girls Secret Diary
