Self-Publish with Canva & Amazon KDP: Repurpose Your Repeat Pattern into a Journal
Do you have a beautiful repeat pattern sitting in your portfolio? Let’s give it new life by turning it into a printed journal you can publish, gift, or even sell!
In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn how to take a repeat pattern you’ve already created and turn it into a professionally published notebook using free tools like Canva and Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing). This class will guide you step-by-step through the process of creating a lined notebook (no-content product) from scratch.
In this class, you’ll learn how to:
-
Recycle your existing repeat patterns for print use
-
Design a print-ready book cover in Canva using KDP’s dimensions
-
Create a lined interior that works with your style
-
Understand bleed, margins, and safe zones for print
-
Use the KDP Cover Calculator to get the right file setup
-
Set up your Amazon KDP author account
-
Publish your journal so it’s available to order worldwide
You don’t need prior experience with self-publishing, and we’ll use tools that are completely free to start. All you need is your pattern design, your creativity, and a little curiosity!
This is a fantastic way to breathe new life into your art, build something physical from your digital designs, and explore the world of creative self-publishing — all at your own pace.

For your class project, I’d love for you to share something from your journal self-publishing process! You can upload a screenshot of your finished journal cover designed in Canva, or even better - a screenshot of your journal’s Amazon KDP listing once it’s live. If you’re still in progress, no worries! Just share what you have so far.
This is a space to celebrate your work, stay motivated, and inspire others. I'm so excited to see how you repurpose your pattern into something you can hold in your hands or gift to someone else!
