In her journal, Anna often notes which flowers are now in bloom in the garden. So it is only fitting that the cover of the book is decorated with prints of fresh flowers and leaves.
Place a notebook on an old, white cotton sheet of a tightly woven quality, so it does not stretch too much. Lay the front and back of the notebook flat to each side and hold the pages of the book upright in the middle with cups on each side, so the spine, front, and back of the book lay flat on the sheet.
Draw lines approximately 5 cm from the book on all sides and tear the fabric to this size.
Place freshly-picked flowers and leaves on the fabric front down, and cover them with decorative tape. There should be approximately 1 cm tape extra around all sides of the flowers.
Place the fabric with the attached flowers and leaves on a cutting board which can get stained by sap, and hit the covered flowers with a hammer.
Remove the tape and add more flowers and leaves the same way until the fabric has the desired look.
Place the notebook on the back of the flower printed fabric. Once again, hold the pages upright with cups.
Cut a notch on each side of the book's spine, and fold in the fabric under the spine.
Fold the rest of the fabric in towards the inside of the book, and attach the fabric with pins at the corners.
Remove the notebook, and sew along the edges with a sewing machine a few mm in to the fabric.
When all corners have been sewn, wrap the book in the cover.
Attach the raw fabric edges to the inside of the book with decorative tape.
Now, close the book in binding and perhaps write a heading on the cover with a textile marker.
