Make a DIY Book

Today I'd like to talk about my personal experience with Shutterfly. This isn't a sponsored post, I just had a really great experience and I wanted to share that with you guys! For my media and techniques class I was challenged to create a book for a specific population that contained art therapy techniques specific to them. The population I chose was sexual trauma, because that's the population I am interested in working with as an art therapist. I love making zines, so I got very excited about the prospect of creating a book!

But I had a dilemma- how do I come up with a DIY project that will be professional enough to impress my professors? Shutterfly was the answer for me. I was able to create a book with clean edges and great quality, and the graphics options also had that DIY look I was going for.

And the service at Shutterfly is great. Books come fast and there is always a sale happening. In fact, sometimes they'll send you a free book coupon! I got this one for 30% off AND free shipping. Not too shabby. Even better- I got an A on the project!

(PS - this is an excellent gift idea!)
