Altered Composition Journal Part 1 | So Easy To Make

[@judyann4793]

So pretty! Here's my foolproof way of attaching the cover paper: after measuring and cutting, place the paper on the cover so that it is perfectly lined up, then use low tack tape to "hinge" the paper to the black spine edge. Now fold the paper back, just like you were turning the page of a book. Put your glue or tape on the cover, remove the release paper from the tape, and simply slap the paper down over the cover. Fast, easy and foolproof!

Next time you do this try lining up your paper on the spine first. Great idea. I already have several journals right now but this is definitely an idea I see myself using in the future. Especially since journals are expensive and I don’t see them going down in price. Love the paper. This would make a nice little craft sale idea. Maybe include a pretty pen. There are inexpensive pen holders you could put along the top so it doesn’t get lost. Really turned out nice. Thanks for showing this! I’ve never made anything like this so I wasn’t sure why you needed it a pocket in a journal. I’m just used to commercial journals so this is new to me. Can you share what it’s for? Thank you!

[@CraftyCardsAndJournals]

Hi, I was trying to but got off a little. LOL Glad you liked it. I am just using it for my channel’s. 😘🐕

@@CraftyCardsAndJournals is there a name for the paper pad?

[@greylady1958]

Love your notebook! Could you please tell me a bit about the quality of the paper? Can you write on it with a fountain pen ora gel pel or does it bleed through the paper

[@CraftyCardsAndJournals]

Sorry for the delay, but I have been sick. I haven’t noticed any bleed through with my book. 😘🐕

[@janasher4940]

I always add 1/4 on 4 sides of the cover sheet for the front of these books. Most of them are not square so I don't trust the measurements any more. I get really frustrated after cutting paper to find I am 1/8 or more off at a corner somewhere. So I cover, the use a metal ruler with exacto knife to true it up.

[@CraftyCardsAndJournals]

Thanks for the tip! 😘🐕

[@kathrynleslie9278]

Fold the paper over the pocket instead of cutting it off. Fold on your cut line and slide it into the pocket.

[@CraftyCardsAndJournals]

Thanks for the tip! 😘🐕

[@sabrinabaker194]

Instead of cutting your papers at an angle to cover your pocket cut it straight and then fold the excess over to the inside and glue it down, or instead of using 1 sheet of paper, use your scraps and collage your pocket, does all that make sense? Lol

[@CraftyCardsAndJournals]

Hi, yes, it makes sense. xoxo

[@vickip54]

Way too expensive on Amazon!!! .50 to $1 all the time at Walmart.

[@CraftyCardsAndJournals]

Hi, that is true but I like how well these are constructed. You can also pick them up at the Dollar Tree. 😘🐕

[@goprettymama]

You make it to complicated. I've done these and I just cover the whole page then I fold them in and cover the other two pages and do the same. You can see the ones of the pocket is decorated.

[@CraftyCardsAndJournals]

I have done my journals that way but wanted to do this differently. 😘🐕
