Adding Hardware to Covers, and Other Details

I’m adding some details to journal pages and applying some hardware to all of the covers! Something new to learn about!

[@CozyHomePaperstudio]

I enjoy you sharing the process of making journals. These journals are going to be so pretty ❤

[@DianeHubertPrettyPinkCottage]

Thanks so much!

The hardware looks so cool on those- super grungy!

[@DianeHubertPrettyPinkCottage]

I love a bit of grungy hardware!

[@susieburris2052]

I am so excited about these journals! So creative with the covers and the cool selection of grudginess inside!

[@DianeHubertPrettyPinkCottage]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you're excited!

[@janicebaylor2795]

Loved the closers on your journals very nice

[@DianeHubertPrettyPinkCottage]

Thank you so much!

Diane: good looking journal covers with lovely closures. They work very well with the theme of the journals. Carol from California

[@DianeHubertPrettyPinkCottage]

Thanks, Carol!

[@candycanecreates]

So much inspiration. I just bought a bunch of book covers from Carol @Crinkled Path and this is perfect for that. Thank you for sharing! ♥

[@DianeHubertPrettyPinkCottage]

Thank you, Candace! I appreciate your feedback. Have fun with your grungy books!

I think the closure you did with the alcohol inks is beautiful! I enjoyed seeing your process with the eyelets too. I have a hammer and a mat but I've never used them. I've got to learn to use my regular Cropadile to set eyelets too. I've watched Nancy from Wishes and Weeds to get a handle on that process. This was interesting today Diane!

[@DianeHubertPrettyPinkCottage]

thanks, Kathleen. I was given a Big Bite (a longer version of the crop-a-dile) a long time ago, and have never had a good result from it. I don't want to spend the money on a crop-a-dile because I'm afraid of the same thing. So I just keep using my little hammer!

[@kathleengill1273]

@@DianeHubertPrettyPinkCottage Yes I noticed that Big Bite!

Hi Diane💞 This was so inspiring, I always loved the idea of unique hardware on covers. Thank you for sharing this, big hugs🥰

[@DianeHubertPrettyPinkCottage]

Glad you liked it!!

[@tfntexas]

Really cool hardware on the covers!

[@DianeHubertPrettyPinkCottage]

Thanks, Tammie!

[@lisawilson2689]

Love love love the hardware! It's perfect for those journals! Question: Where did you get the caps for your glue?

[@DianeHubertPrettyPinkCottage]

Thank you, Lisa! My glue caps are silicone knitting needle caps, available wherever you can buy knitting needles. I also purchased some stainless steel (rust proof) straight pins from Amazon to stick into the knitting needle cap, which then goes into the frosting bottle tip. I hope it all makes sense!

Are these spoken for?

[@DianeHubertPrettyPinkCottage]

No, because I don't take reservations. I had too many problems doing that. I do appreciate your interest! I hope you will watch to find out when they will be listed in my shop!

[@loveinamist14]

You are an HSP! I am that too! I am very sensitive to all of those things you mentioned. I can't stand noises either!

[@DianeHubertPrettyPinkCottage]

Yes! Highly Sensitive Person. When I found out it was a real thing, it explained a lot!
