17 DIY Stationery Ideas That’ll Never Go Out Of Style
Dear Friend,
You must be familiar with the phrase ‘it will never go out of style‘, like a little black dress, or nice manners, or to be well organized. Well, the same goes for the sweet DIY stationery projects.
Every corner of your stationery has its unique trendy representative. From gorgeous stationery sets, via beautifully designed papers, to creatively decorated pens and other features.
Competition is great, creativity is high, but every rule has exceptions, and there are some stationery DIY projects which become like trendsetters so that everything after is like a variation on the theme.
I’ve done some research on the web to see what kind of DIY stationery ideas are the most popular and eventually came up with a list of those that in most cases served as an inspiration for others.
So, here are 17 DIY stationery ideas that’ll in my humble opinion never go out of style.
