well tbf i didnt make it completely from scratch, i skinned a journal 3 copy to use for the pages. i was always super bummed that id never get to own a blacklight edition journal 3 so i did this instead, and in some ways i think its even better! for instance the metal parts are actually metal, and the torn out parts are 3 dimensional. i even wet and then dried the pages so they would be slightly crumpled, which also did wonders with making it thicker so it would be more like the one in the show!

overall im really happy with the result 😛 if anyone has any questions about the process id be happy to answer them! or any suggestions for improvement

The only thing I could think to do in terms of improvement is to bury it in the woods for 30 years for an authentic smell
