Birgit Koopsen Demonstrates Custom Notebook Creation Using Gelli Arts Gel Printing

Artist Birgit Koopsen has published a tutorial on the Gelli Arts blog detailing how to create personalized notebooks, sketchbooks, and art journals using gel printing techniques. The guide explains how to produce custom covers through handmade texture plates constructed from cardboard and self-adhesive craft foam. Koopsen outlines the printing process, including paint application, texture plate removal timing for varied effects, and final assembly with printed masking tape for spine decoration. The tutorial includes a video demonstration and lists required materials such as a Gelli Arts gel printing plate, acrylic paint, cardstock, and a long-arm stapler. The project is presented as a creative activity suitable for the back-to-school season.
