Paper Bag Single-Page Junk Journal/Bird Themed Junk Journal/Part 1/DCC Design Team Project

As requested by you, I am taking you along creating a single page paper bag junk journal, for which I decided on a bird theme. I hope you enjoy part 1 in which I create the pages, add page backgrounds, decorate the cover and start decorating some of the pages.

l0vE lOvE l♡vE these journals.... both the flip through and your paper bag one! Wow! Now I can't wait to get started on one of my own. Absolutely stunning! Looking forward to seeing the next videos. Thanks miss Barbara. You are helping to breathe inspiration in a "less than ideal" world right now. I am grateful. 😘🤗💓💕 Many blessings for protected health and wellbeing from North Carolina.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so mich Sharon! So happy this got your creative juices flowing! ☺️❤️

[@Tina-MakingandCreating]

Thank you Barbara for keep inspiraring thousands of lovely people out there and as always, I am so proud of having you as part of the Digital Collage Club DT:) xx

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaw, thank you Tina! So happy to be part of your team! ❤️

[@Scrapart_by_Zelinda]

I love the organic look of this journal.

[@MessyPaperCrafter]

The two pages with the purple/maroon colors are my favorites so far. The depth of color is beautiful!

[@fairydhust]

WoW!!!! I think this is my most favorite video series, I love the use of fabrics and all the organic items you've chosen / used. Feathers, branches, bas, fabrics, fibers, etc. WOW ( I'm wanting to take the tree class too and maybe a few others) thank you for sharing. You're always so sweet, fun, smart, creative and very inspiring to watch. Thank you Barbara. ( I live in USA - Norther California area.) Hugs, Sandy

[@sherriarnone-wheat3634]

I love the use of paper bag, single pages, and the binding. I'm really looking forward to trying this in my next journal.

[@swannwillow9476]

Amazing cover! Love the process. Going to watch the next video in the series now...🦜❤

[@debrak5314]

I’ve seen journals made out of paper bags, but not the actual pages! Very cool! Love the journal, especially the cover!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Debra! ❤️

[@patovaleria30]

My god barbara !!! you keep building incredible things !!! I'll see myself tomorrow cutting paper bags 🤣🤣🤣 😍🙏🏻 thAnk you soooooooo much

[@49dragonflies]

Haha thank you Valeria! We have too many paper bags anyway. Enjoy! 😃❤️

[@patovaleria30]

@@49dragonflies yes yes i Yes I have at home, because I use a lot of kraft for stationery ... now I have a new use to give it, I don't see when to start, but first I will finish the book and I will label you in inst when I show it ❤️💗

[@joymizelle6048]

Outstanding! Your talents are endless. So enjoying this new direction.

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaw (blushing!) ☺️❤️

[@bollenhutart]

Liebe Barbara, ich bewahre tatsächlich seit zwei Monaten zwei riesige Papiertüten um damit ein Journal zu machen und jetzt zeigst du uns solch ein wunderbar inspirierendes Video 🥰 ich liebe diese Kombination, von unpefekt - perfekt, slow stitching, hand drawing und Naturelemente 🌿 Bin schon sehr gespannt wie es weiter gehen wird 👍🏻👏🏻🥰 Ganz liebe Grüße Susanne 💗

[@49dragonflies]

Danke liebe Susanne! Ist mal etwas anderes! Bin schon auf deine Version gespannt! ❤️

[@grahamfox931]

Hello Barbara, WOW, love what you did with the paper bag. Who knew!!!! Love this little journal and can't wait to see part 2. Your book you made from the tutorial you took is beautiful, so full of wonderful natural elements, WELL DONE, you should get an A+ for it. Please stay safe and well, you and your hubby, and, as always, Blessings and hug. Diana.

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you Diana! So happy to get an A+ ☺️

[@donnahunter3488]

I absolutely loved what you did with the paper bag so far especially the cover. I can’t wait to see how you bind it next. I love using nature as well in my journals, it keeps me grounded. I guess that’s the Native American in me.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much Donna! ❤️

[@kerry-lynnmartin8799]

I’ll never look at a brown bag the same way again- trash to treasure. TFS

[@49dragonflies]

😃👍🏻❤️

[@margaretgoertz8751]

The "let it be" method has worked out beautifully for this journal, and your journal is wonderful.

[@marinajansevanrensburg7479]

Well I am again stunned by how naturally you flow from one style to another!! This is super beautiful. Love to watch you work.

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you Marina! I get bored so I like switching things up! 😃

[@malinh911]

Absolutely love this! These pages are so beautiful! That cover page with the peacock is just amazing! It is so lovely to follow you Barbara, to see how you constantly develop and share new things with us! ❤️❤️❤️

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so mich Malin! It’s so much more fun when I can share my journey with you! ☺️

Thanks so much Cheryl! It’s more fun sharing my experience with you! 😃

[@giusicoluccia6594]

WONDERFUL!

[@Melophile74]

This was so relaxing to watch. Thank you for your videos.

[@ashleyscreations]

This turned out really good, very inspiring.

[@love-light369]

Loved the maroon leaf & bird pages as well as the cover! Interested to see how you bind this in the end. I like how you are keeping it simple & easy without focusing on "perfection" (whatever that is!) 💗🌷💗

[@49dragonflies]

Thank you! I’m also interested in seeing how I will bind it because currently I have no idea! 😃

[@willyrikkers8733]

Wauwwwwww i can t wait for video 2 , greetings from Holland

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much and sending hugs to Holland! ❤️

[@sharonromer6606]

Barbara I love your creation...it is so beautiful...I can't wait to see part 2.

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much Sharon! ❤️

[@ccoeurjoli]

Merci pour ce montage vidéo intelligent ! On comprend le processus rapidement et le résultat est bluffant !! 🤩

[@49dragonflies]

Merci beaucoup Christine! ❤️

[@menm_91]

Just watched this again (I was crafting the 1st time and I'm horrendous at multitasking). I use FriXion erasable pens for things like your hand stitching. The lines come out with heat (an iron or heat gun). I don't use it for heirloom quality embroidery or quilting, but for a "junk" journal it's just fine. I think your fabric tab binding combined with some twigs as the spine would be absolutely perfect to bind this beauty!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so much! Great tips! 😃👍🏻❤️

[@susan2657]

Absolutely beautiful I love everything you do all the textures birds I love birds anyway great job I’m gonna have to try this thank you so very much✂️

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so mich Susan! ☺️❤️

Thanks Emaine! ☺️❤️

[@brendadavisscrapitydoda1284]

Love it❣️ I'm going to try this. Awesome job!❤

[@cindythoms7246]

This is beautiful. Love the whole idea

[@sharonwilson243]

WOW, Barbara, I love your creativity. I may be doing this type of journal in the near future. I can't get enough of all the texture that is going on and the binding technique is phenomenal!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks Sharon! Happy you enjoyed it! ❤️

[@kristimoore8763]

I always say, "If something goes wrong, it's just one more step in the process for making it beautiful." I don't really think there is any real wrong in art. :)

[@49dragonflies]

Love that, thanks!

[@Marina-qn1yv]

OMG ... L😍ve this , you're a magician !!! thanx 🙏 looking forward to part 2 💜

[@49dragonflies]

[@shelleyjackson619]

My mom taught me to use tiny pieces of hand soap bars as chalk marker replacements. It is awesome bc it just washes away.

[@49dragonflies]

Very interesting ❤️

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks so mich Theresa! Have fun with this! ❤️

[@deedeemonceaux]

Barbara, I just want to say how much I adore you (not to be creepy!) Honestly, you are so very genuine, creative, and have such a peaceful approach...I look forward to all your videos and try to catch up on your older stuff. Not only that, you express when you aren't so comfortable when doing a project or feeling "not as equipped" and let your guard down, sending a message to newer junk journalers that they too can explore their creativity and not be afraid to mess up. Also, are you as neat and tidy as you appear to be on screen?! Because, how?? Just kidding. Please be encouraged today knowing that I (we, I will speak for others) are so very thankful for you and all you share!

[@49dragonflies]

Aaaaw, I’m very flattered by your kind words, Danelle!!! I think it’s so important to experiment to grow as an artist and I do hope it encourages others as well! About being neat, haha you should see my dining table aka craft desk right now 😂😂😂

[@MsDivaDeborah]

Love this! can’t wait to see hoe you bind this!

[@49dragonflies]

Thanks! Me neither as I have no idea yet! 😃

[@shannone1830]
