Before you start reading this article, I want to clarify that Personal diary- this is still your personal space, so how and what will be inside it is a matter of your taste. I'll just try to direct your creative thoughts in the right direction.

Sometimes you hear the following phrase: “I want to keep a personal diary, but I don’t know how.” At least it sounds strange, doesn't it? After all, a personal diary is not a tribute to fashion, it is a need of the soul. If there is a need, then you take a pen (no matter what color!) and trust your thoughts to paper (no matter what notebook!). But now we are not talking about how to keep a personal diary, but about how to arrange it inside.
Even 20 years ago, such a question did not arise often, believe me personal experience. It’s just that in those years there was not a stunning variety of notebooks themselves (the diary was kept in ordinary notebooks of 48 or 96 sheets), pens and decorations. The most we could do was glue on magazine clippings, pretty candy wrappers or chewing gum inserts. Or draw something by hand. But now is a different time, many wonderful goods for handicrafts have appeared, so I want it to be beautiful (even if not for everyone, not for show) and no worse than others.

Probably, the difficulty also arises in the fact that it happens like this: you feel the need to keep a diary, you write with inspiration, you even fall in love with it and... suddenly... stupor. There is no inspiration, no need, and the previously beloved notebook is gathering dust on the shelf. For such a case, sometimes one “kick” is enough, or, if you prefer, advice, support, and inspiration returns!

From personal experience I will say that the best “kick” is looking at other people’s work. They inspire, help to add zest to your personal diary... So, let's look together at what ways there are to design a personal diary inside...

1. Many people prefer the usual, traditional style: they write by hand in solid text, the most they allow themselves is multi-colored pastes. After all, a personal diary is a whirlwind of your thoughts, events and feelings, why do you need anything else? But let’s say you’re bored of just writing... In this case, any picture that illustrates what you’re writing about will help add some zest and decorate the pages. It can be a photograph, but it doesn't have to be.


Are you writing about a book you like? Cut out a stack of books from a magazine and glue them next to them. Are you writing about how great it was to meet with your friends in a cafe? Or about how, after visiting a doctor, you had to fork out for medicine? Take “material evidence” with you (a receipt, a business card or an advertisement for a new dish) and stick it in your diary. And in general, any photo or even the most careless hand drawing will make your notebook more alive.


2. Why not try your hand at depicting the events that took place in the form of small, primitive drawings? Can't draw? But small drawings (maybe even schematic ones) are much easier. Maybe by training day after day you will get better?



3. The same small drawings can be used for different thematic pages in the diary, for example, “what am I striving for” or “plans for this year.”


4. Sometimes, for variety, you can design pages in this way: on special cards different shapes. There you can write down some individual thoughts and even quotes, aphorisms, excerpts from songs or poems that resonate with your mood and thoughts... If there are no such cards, this is not a reason to be discouraged! You can get creative yourself and draw something similar on multi-colored pieces of paper. Or even on pieces from different packages (tea, toys, etc.) or labels from clothes - bright, colorful. There is absolutely no point in throwing them away!


5. On the pages of your diary you can paint with watercolors, mix them, smear them, blurt them and splash them - any text will look very nice on top! Just keep in mind that if the pages of your notebook are thin enough, then before all watercolor experiments you need to glue them together in two! Then everything will work out neatly.



6. Colored pencils, gel pens, scraps of paper or some pictures will also be good helpers in designing a diary. The main thing is don’t be afraid to imagine and experiment!


7. This method looks very nice when you write with letters of different shapes and sizes, as well as in different directions: obliquely, vertically, horizontally. Of course, this is not suitable for recording events or thoughts, but if you want to write facts about yourself or write down “100 things I love,” then it’s just right.



8. Any personal diary definitely needs pockets for things dear to the heart! For tickets, notes or even small photographs.



9. If you decide to take your personal diary seriously, so that you not only record thoughts and events in it, but also decorate it by pasting in photographs, pictures and other memorable things, then cards with ready-made inscriptions will be a good accent: photo fact, appreciate every moment, news of the day, an unforgettable moment, etc. Join the VKontakte group

Whether to keep a personal diary (in youth slang “ld”) is truly a personal matter for everyone, but teenage girls, girls and women for the most part prefer to reveal their treasured things to a silent piece of paper rather than to close friends. At the same time, creative and romantically inclined people have no questions about how to keep a diary correctly: they write what they want, draw according to their mood, write in and paste in quotes, clippings from fashion magazines, pie recipes and other interesting things.

But if it’s not enough own vision your own diary, and don’t even know where to start - this article is for you: ideas, recommendations, highlights, creative solutions will lead to individual style and creation. So, how to create and beautifully design the flyleaf and pages, and what can you write in your personal diary?

Where to start keeping a personal diary?

From desire. If a girl or girl wants to keep her own diary just because all the girls in a class or university group have one, then this will immediately become a failed idea: the process of communicating with a paper friend will end exactly on the second page, when a suddenly flared passion for a fashion trend will subside. In the world modern technologies, gadgets and social networks, it would not be out of place to ask the question - what is it for, What does a personal diary look like and what should be in it?: If the answers to these seemingly simple questions have not been found, the idea of ​​a diary should be put aside for a while.

When deciding to keep a personal diary, think about the purpose - what will it become for you and what is its meaning?

The most obvious purpose of introducing a diary into personal life is communication: a thin or thick notebook or notebook will become the most understanding and trusting interlocutor, which is lacking in social life. Another group of the female population will define journaling as an opportunity to capture the emotions of a visit interesting places, memories of significant events and impressions of meetings with interesting people. And still others will even keep a diary for self-analysis of their own actions, reviewing actions taken, re-evaluating themselves and their mistakes, and reflecting on their successes. Everyone has their own goal- it is important to realize it, and then your personal diary will become a true masterpiece, and not routine writing.

What will become a diary?

We will not consider in detail the option of an electronic diary: these are also a statement of one’s own thoughts and a description of events, but not intended for internal use, and for worldwide public readings. But just as with all modern gadgets, a significant number of reading enthusiasts prefer books in the classic version rather than in audio or electronic ones, the same is true with personal diaries.

A diary is a mirror of a person’s soul

A teenager’s electronic personal diary on a computer or website can begin with some interesting or, conversely, dramatic incident, a meeting with old friends or a trip. Electronic diary on a personal computer has its advantages (a strong password, beautiful graphics for design, the ability to make an unlimited number of copies), but diaries in paper form give a special atmosphere, romance to the process of communicating with oneself and something nostalgically vintage, but that’s what they should be, what kind of notebook for diary entries about life? And this is also a personal matter for everyone:

it will be convenient for one to write on separate sheets of paper, which are always at hand, combining them as you write into a ring binder or paper materials organizers of other options;
others will find ordinary ones comfortable school notebooks 18 sheets or notepads that can be put in your purse - they do not take up much space and weigh practically nothing;
still others will approach the matter monumentally, starting a thick barn book or diary under voluminous texts: descendants will undoubtedly appreciate the painstaking work of my great-grandmother, which tells about the super-duper Seventh iPhone and the release of the next episode of Star Wars.

Keeping, notes and pictures for a personal diary - style, design, size of inscriptions and drawings also play a role. When deciding what a personal diary will be like, you should not be guided solely by the externally attractive cover: first of all, its owner should think about about the comfort of entering your notes into it. As for what is needed to design the first page of an LD, this will already be decided in the process of working with it.

How long does it take to keep a diary?

How to start keeping and organizing a beautiful personal diary - rules, as such, do not exist. As well as some kind of official or generally accepted timekeeping to fill it out. If you don’t turn a pleasant activity into writing down every step for many hours every day, then It doesn’t take much time to keep a diary. You should not treat the diary as work: entries in it can be made hastily or in detail, but in any case, if there is desire and inspiration.

It is no coincidence that a diary can be used as a planner for future affairs: it will show how much time does a housewife waste?. Don't have anything to write about for the last day, couple of days, week? – it makes sense to think: maybe time was just wasted? Such information will give impetus to general mobilization and decisive action within one person.

Each girl or woman determines the mode of working with the diary that suits her: daily, weekly or situational

“When I want, then I write”- the correct answer to the question of how often to write in a diary. Being obligated will destroy a trusting relationship with such a friend, and harping on every line will not give either positive emotions or a pleasant result.

Another point that diary owners don’t think about: re-reading notes from time to time is both desirable and necessary– this will refresh your memory of events and allow you to track how your thinking and assessment of situations and people’s actions changes. Over time, not only we ourselves change, but also our perception of the same dynamic, not worth a second world around us: such an analysis is useful and determines the degree of maturation of the individual.

How to properly keep a personal diary

Correct in this case is a synonym for “how convenient.” You need to relax, be alone with yourself, your thoughts, a pen or pencil (according to your preference) and a diary. You don’t have to comb your hair and don’t, now you are nature itself. Those who have problems with the Russian language should not think about the rules of spelling and punctuation - write freely, even with mistakes.

For each entry, enter the day, month, year - everything is forgotten over time, but the chronology will return you to the exact moment of the event

When expressing, caution will not hurt: on the one hand, why then is a diary needed, if not to pour out everything that is sore on its pages?; on the other hand, the possibility of it being read by another person should not be excluded. And in most cases, it will be a bomb. Atomic.

How to sign and properly format a personal diary: tips and ideas

For adults, busy and working people, perhaps the design of the diary is not so important - most likely, they would settle on an expensive diary with a thick, stylish cover and elegant pages. But how can a girl or teenager create and fill out pages inside the wish list? Surely young ladies want something enchanting, sparkling and joyful- styles, ideas and photos of filling out a personal diary or diary can be viewed on online blogs, the social picture network Pinterest and similar resources. Or just come up with something of your own.

IN general case diary design depends on:

own desires and ideological vision of the new “friend”;
creative skills (calligraphy, drawing skills);
available free time, which, without prejudice to study, work or family, can be spent on making notes.

Thematic pages and stories- a super idea, everything will be used here: from scrapbooking to stickers and Chinese calligraphy. For a trip to the sea, the page can be painted with soft blue watercolors, pearl beads and decorative colored sand can be added, the “forest page” can be perfumed eau de toilette with a woody aroma and decorate with pine or spruce needles - there is room for imagination.

Many people already think at the beginning of their journey, how to design the last page creative diary: perhaps someone will like the idea of ​​a stylized door to the future, their own poem, or simply a beautifully executed inscription “To be continued...”

There are no special rules in design either - it is only important that its owner liked the diary. For those who have free time young girls will need magazine clippings and scrapbooking elements, materials for appliques, a set of colored gel pens and felt-tip pens, text highlighters, glue sticks, self-adhesive rhinestones, decorative tapes and paper, etc. Girls' favorite pictures are cute cats, cute bears, butterflies, flowers and angels.

How to make it interesting and what to write about in a personal diary for a girl, girl or woman

describe emotions and attitude to what is happening– it’s not the bare and boring facts that are important, it’s the feelings evoked by the situation that are important;
you can throw out what has accumulated verbally or graphically– as you like;
they will remind you of memorable exhibitions, visits to cinemas and theater productions, interesting trips, romantic dates tickets and booklets, letters and notes from loved ones– if you want to store them at the end of the diary, it is recommended to glue an envelope to the cover and put them there or paste them directly onto the current page;
write down and sketch gift ideas for relatives and friends;
do sketches of favorite models in boutique windows with the expectation of sewing the same ones in the near future, but with mother-of-pearl buttons;
To increase self-esteem, it is recommended to paste it into a diary your own successful photos, celebrate achievements and do not hesitate to praise yourself for success;
People rich in dreams are advised to write them down before they are forgotten - dreams open the curtain of a person’s inner consciousness and experiences;
women's diaries become a treasure trove quotes, aphorisms and funny jokes: for the owner of the diary who does not rely on her own girlish memory, periodically reading them is useful and brings pleasure;
useful phrases in English;
spending money, planning expenses for purchases;
admired for its simplicity or sophistication culinary recipes;
words of favorite songs, poems, poems.

With desire and knowledge foreign languages you can keep a diary on one of them: agree, personal diary in English is not only intellectual and stylish, but also excellent practice for expressing your own thoughts and expanding vocabulary.

The diary of married ladies most often presents an ascetic version: short, to-the-point entries without additional embellishments

Thick cardboard cover will make the diary safer, and the creativity of the owner of the diary will highlight an ordinary notebook or notebook from a bunch of similar ones, creating a small personal corner of mood. With the help of master classes from the online community of needlewomen and available materials, it’s easy to create own textile cover with elegant trim with lace and sewing and/or rhinestones and buttons (felt ones look original and cozy, but are not so practical to use - they get dirty and wear out). Depending on the mood or time of year, the covers can be easily changed.

To maintain complete secrecy, you can buy notebook or notepad with a lock or find a secluded place in the room for handwritten treasures away from prying eyes and hands. How much does your own diary cost? Truly, it is priceless, but not at all because of the beautiful expensive cover - the time and heart invested in its pages will eventually make this small notebook or book a family heirloom, which subsequent generations will cherish with tenderness.

Conclusion

And why is all this needed? This question returns to the first point of the article - goals. The set goal of keeping a diary will become the motivation for filling it out: feelings and thoughts, perception of people and events, analysis of one’s own strengths and weaknesses, fears, achievements and actions.

A personal diary is a letter to yourself in the future and news for yourself from the past

The diary will become not only a way of self-expression: it will help distracted and fussy people to organize both thoughts and actions, teach planning, consistency and structuring in the presentation of their judgments. Some people need to make notes for the development of detailed memory and insurance against senile sclerosis.

A personal diary is not just a biography and a psychotherapeutic attempt to understand oneself, find harmony and: in some cases it is necessary for a detailed assessment of your life. Keeping a diary involves a person's attempt to become better, wiser and make fewer mistakes in the future.

Design elements for a personal diary include pictures, poems, quotes and simply your own thoughts. Not only young ladies, but also adult women “make a paper friend,” because you can trust him with your most secret thoughts. Its design depends on the mood and tastes of the hostess. If you don’t want to draw pictures and write poetry yourself, you can always use ready-made templates.

Write about the lessons of the book

Most of the literature you read has an obvious plot, as well as a deeper lesson hidden within the pages. Each time you complete a new book, write about the lessons in it. You can even include some of your favorite quotes.

Set a timer for five minutes and write before the time runs out. No matter what you're writing about, just make sure your pencil is always moving. This great way get your thoughts down on paper - and if your time is limited, it only takes five minutes. Writing a lot can be daunting for some, so if this sounds like you, try starting by writing in your daily journal. It won't take much effort or time, but if the topic interests you, you may even write more without realizing it.

Pictures for a personal diary

LD is a whirlwind of events, thoughts and feelings. Many do not express them in solid text, but supplement them with all sorts of pictures. They are the decoration and highlight of the pages. You can cut and paste your photo as a picture, but this is not necessary. Some use ready-made prints, others draw by hand in good faith.

If you don't know what to write in your journal, write down an affirmation you believe in and keep writing until you've completed a certain number of pages. If you're thinking of something else to write about before then, you can fill the rest of the space with that topic.

This could be a list of movies, your favorite TV shows, things you need to pack for your vacation, or even a list of ingredients you need to get to make some of your favorite meals. If you're brainstorming for a big project you're taking on, then extracting a mind map can help you make sense of your ideas. This will help you see a clearer picture rather than focusing on a small part of the task.


Ready-made drawings can be downloaded from the Internet and printed.


New patterns are on various sites. Emoticons are popular, as on the social network VKontakte.

Ideas for LD: poems and quotes

Start with one idea at the center of your page and expand from that single thought. Write down everything that comes to mind. It may seem disorganized, but will tell a story when the reflection process is complete. While it may seem like you're adding extra steps to your journaling, it really helps you decide what to write.

Bring yourself or another person to life by describing their personality, their emotional condition and style in some way Which expresses character. You can even describe an imaginary person if you want. If you can't figure out what to write in a journal every day, then you can simply write a different type of creative journal entry. You can stencil the image you want to create and you can even color it if you want. If you don't have artistic talent, doodles are great.

The clippings can be either colored and bright, or black and white.


You can smear watercolors on LD pages, mix different paints, and write text on top. Colored pencils and gel pens will also become faithful helpers. In this case, you should rely only on your own preferences and do not be afraid to experiment.

On a note! If the diary sheets are thin, before using watercolor paints It is recommended to glue two pages together.

Ideas for LD: poems and quotes

No personal diary is complete without quotes and poems. Writing them is not only fashionable, but also terribly interesting. Typically, small quatrains are placed on the first and last pages, while entire poems are stored in the middle. They can be humorous or, conversely, sad, telling about unrequited love (which often happens among girls). You can arrange entries in several ways: classic or in different directions.

Step-by-step description of the creative process

This may not be the case, but this is the project you want your sewing machine to be on! You can completely customize it to your own preferences. Add as many pages as you like and decorate it so it's all yours! You can use some coordinating notebook to make extra and special pages!

You can stitch the pages together with your sewing machine to speed up the process. I love how it also makes the pages slightly uneven, giving it the feel of an antique book. With a beautiful fabric cover and lace trim and ribbon bookmark, this is the perfect journal for recording your thoughts.


Usually poems and quotes express the mood, but often the owner of the diary simply cuts out and pastes in statements she likes.


Those who are endowed with a certain talent compose the poem themselves. It can be written by hand or typed on a computer and then printed, cut and pasted.

Ideas for ld: decorating the cover and main page

To make your own you will need. Load 8 sheets of paper and fold in half. Open the paper and stitch along the fold line with your sewing machine. Note. This will probably tire out your needle, so use one that is ready to be thrown anyway!

Make a few more stacks of booklets. Stack your booklets on top of each other and space them out, then measure the thickness. This will be the thickness of your book spine. Cut out book covers and spines from the folder. To cover the fabric, sew two pieces of fabric on the coordinating spine and press your seams out. The measurements of each piece will depend on how big your book is and how much contrast you want on the spine. Your fabric should be two inches larger than your book.

A wide variety of design ideas are allowed. If a teenager keeps a diary, it will contain clippings of favorite characters, be present bright colors. Often a special code is used, known only to the owner herself.


Grown-up girls and women are more reserved, but it all depends on their character.

Lay out the book spine and covers on the fabric. The spine should be right in the center of the fabric, with covers on both sides. Note that the fabric extends beyond the cap and spine on all sides. Attach the covers in the same way on both sides of the spine. Get the fabric as smooth as possible and make sure it doesn't bubble. You may have to work with it a little and keep an eye on it as it dries to iron out any issues before it dries completely.

Personal diary: where to start?

You can also give the other side a layer of fashion styling to seal it. Once it's dry, fold the top and bottom edges of the fabric over the lid and spine. Fold the sides and glue them in place. Again make sure there are no bubbles in the fabric and it is as smooth as you can get.

On a note! Sometimes they choose not an ordinary notebook or notepad for notes, but an old book. Drawings are pasted in there, as well as blank paper for text. It is recommended that you tear out every third page of the book, otherwise it will become too bulky as you fill it out. It is advisable to provide special pockets in which photographs, cards and other things will be stored.

What I remember...

While this is drying, fold a piece of scrapbook paper the same size as the paper you used for your book in half. Glue half the paper to the back of one of your small booklets. Repeat with another booklet and another notebook piece, this time to the front piece of the brochure.

When all the booklets are in order, they will look like this. Place a piece of tape along the spine. If you want to add a lace trim, glue it along the seam of the fabric, making sure to wrap it around where it will be covered by the pages of your book.

To make your paper friend unique, you should make it yourself. To do this, you will have to select the required amount of colored glossy paper. Sheets of the same size are cut out of it and folded randomly. Then a cover is made from thick cardboard (you can decorate it with pictures, stencils, or cover it with fabric). The sheets and cover are fastened in any convenient way. Your personal diary is ready, now you can start designing it.

Align your booklets with the spine of the book. Make sure the scrapbook paper is at the top and bottom of this pile of booklets. Glue all the booklets to the spine of the book. This takes a lot of glue and can be difficult to get everything. You may have to separate the small booklets a little to make sure they stick to each of their spines to make sure each one is attached to the spine of the book.

This will hide any raw edges of the fabric and give it a cleaner look. Beautiful magazine self made, which is uniquely yours! If you need more help combining pages or creating your own journal pages, there are many tutorials available. Writing in a diary is a very personal matter that can play a special role, especially in youth, and can accompany us throughout our lives. In doing so, we reflect our secrets, experiences and experiences, also unfiltered and without a leaf in front of our mouth or even our hand.

Drawings for a personal diary

Not everyone wants to print a finished drawing and select themes for it. Or maybe it’s sketches made with your own hands. The page can serve as a canvas for expressing thoughts and a coloring book at the same time. For personal diaries, it does not matter what artistic abilities its owner has.

A diary entry is a kind of reflection of completely different thoughts and equally a memory of recent decades. First of all, in retrospect, a single journal can be a joyful read as we review memories of days gone by.

Memories are kept in a diary: what did they think 20 years ago? Why did they do this? Which views have changed over time or remained the same? Have you lost sight of the swarm of youth or have you been living with it for ages? However, we should not write a diary!

Diary: How do I start?

Unlike numerous approaches to learning language and writing equally, we do not know any rules or norms in the diary. One might even assume that there are as many species as there are diaries on the globe. And even if there is no clear direction on how your personal diary should be designed, we would like to give you some design tips.

When making a plan for the week, you shouldn’t just do boring writing. It can also be decorated brightly and unusually.


Each action or description of a memorable incident can be accompanied by an illustration.


Which personal diary to choose

That being said, we would like to comment on the form and nature of the diary, and also collect some tips on how to bring a diary to life.
