[@blonde2thebone]

you have got to be the very best junk journal artist, ever! And, I have watched them all!! LOL!! I so appreciate your ideas and your kind teaching. THANK YOU!! your work is beautiful... but, only second to the real YOU!!

[@TreasureBooks]

Wow, thank you so much!!!

[@tammygroves9555]

Im so glad I found your channel! I'm in love with everything you make. You are wonderful instructor. I just recently decided to make a few junk journals. I have saved stuff from all the way back to elementary school. I'm now 58. Now I know what to do with all my treasures. Thank you so very much sharing your talent!

[@TreasureBooks]

Wonderful! Have fun :)

[@AntiqueJeans]

I’m happy your older videos pop up as suggestions. I was rather new to KZbin 2 years ago. And would have missed some treasures.

[@lifeinbujo6453]

I had somewhat lost my love and my inspiration for scrapbooking, but thanks to you, my happiness returned to me, my desires, the ideas, so a thousand thank you

[@TreasureBooks]

Oh I'm so glad!!!!!!

[@elizabethferroni9766]

I save everything the tags from my children’s clothes, a art drawing they made me. a note a friend wrote everything I catch a lot of slack from my family about it ,but those things have brought me a lot of fun and joy! To me that is what is important! 😊

[@emmkaa2099]

I LOVE the double bag/tuck spot!! I already made and decorated eight (?) bags but I see two (or four or six) more in my immediate future! Thank you angel 😇 MK ♥️🌞🌵

[@TreasureBooks]

Wonderful! Have fun!!!

[@primrosealegre9260]

I like how you’re not afraid to show the whole process of how you do things. So grateful to have stumbled upon your channel

[@juanitamattick7451]

Such great ideas...I'm learning so much ...Thank You😊

[@Rkayhejny3725]

Natasha, you are just a natural! As fabulous four years ago as you are today! Thank you!

[@annettevanderwesthuizen4470]

How beautiful this is ! Annette ( South Africa) Very handy to have - ready to include in journals .

[@cecilyroberts1696]

Can't wait to try these

[@TreasureBooks]

Have fun!!

[@DazzlingStar07]

Found you just yesterday. And I'm in love with your talent. Kindly make a tour of your art studio or how you store all your art supplies. Would love to see your collection and storage ideas as well.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!! At the end of my latest video (DIY Lace flowers) I showed my craft room :)

[@ruthc266]

Agreed

[@jetwasik1648]

Really enjoyed the video! Something new to make!

[@TreasureBooks]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you

[@marilynmccormick3731]

Simple to follow, uses papers we already have, multi-purpose, room enough to decorate. Can be mass made & easily stored. What a way to spend time while listening to audio mystery books! Thank you.

[@linaleblanc8288]

Sha, you can ,,"GO CAT, GO" if you made all those beautiful lovelies in two days. Gorgeous 😍

[@marilyndavis3968]

Such a pleasure to watch & hear your comments, thank you!

[@brookematthews4431]

Im addicted to watching you create!!! Thank you so much for qll your videos and time going into making them. The paper instructions you put up sometimes is extremely awesome for those wish short memory to not have to come back to the video and find the part they forgot after. P.S. I love listening to your voice and accent. Its so clear and proper like and just to the ear

[@bettymetz3746]

Thanks for all your time inspiring us!!

[@ellenhutchinson2889]

Everything you do is so beautiful!,

[@DebH-bl8ku]

A great way to use up paper. I love the idea of making bags and placing them in a journal. I am going to use this idea. Thank you.

[@lenniel5595]

Oh Natasa, yet another incredible creative video! I know I'm silly, but I'm sitting here in awe and in tears watching you take some scraps and turn them into luxury products. You have a talent to take something small and insignificant and get the absolute maximum potential out of it, and then some!! You have inspired me once again. X

[@TreasureBooks]

Wow Thank you so much Lennie. Makes me so happy that you feel inspired by my videos !!

[@marilynaustin4425]

Thank you for sharing your ideas. I will be making these envelopes. Marilyn from Pensacola.

[@emmkaa2099]

Wait!! You made ALL THAT in two days??!!?? Oh my gosh girl! WOW! 🤯 Mind blown! XOX. MK ❤️🌞🌵

[@TreasureBooks]

I know, hehe, I was on a roll :)

[@gabriellalovejoy57]

beautiful, thank you for sharing. Now I know what to do with all the paper bags I have been saving. I just love your your creative energy,

[@LovesJESUS]

Love the little bags.

[@lorrainewilson2067]

Here I thought I had to run out and buy a lot of little items that would be packaged in small bags. This is lovely and uses up so many bits and pieces.

[@iamsuzzie]

You always have such creative ideas..Thank you for sharing. I really love your videos! Blessings from Michigan.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Rinda!!

[@mariepaxton45]

I've only recently started scrapbooking/ junk journaling and I am struggling with overthinking on ways to embellish. I love this tutorial so much. I absolutely have a bunch of little scraps of scraps that I've saved in hopes of finding ways to use them and this is so helpful for putting together pretty little clusters ❤

[@cherylrymer6782]

These are the perfect addition to jazz up a page and add interest. Thanks for sharing with us. can never seem to have enough clusters or bags so taking a day to build a stockpile is a great idea too. That way you don't have to stop and make a bag when you are feeling a journal just needs something more. So adorable and easy.

[@TreasureBooks]

Yes, exactly Sharon! Might as well make many when all your little bits and pieces are already pulled out and all over your desk!

[@ValitasCreativeDesigns]

Great ideas👍🏼

[@TreasureBooks]

Glad you like them!

[@lizthejournalmagpie]

I haven't made a journal or any emphera for an age. You have just inspired me to start again. Thank you :)

[@TreasureBooks]

Yaaay go for it Liz, and don't stop!

[@hazelvicary]

Another great idea - I usually make larger bags out of baking parchment - but I never thought of this... really sweet..... Many thanks for another inspiring tutorial.....

[@lalita6074]

I am so much obsessed with these journals. Whenever my mom throughs something, I always look for items that I can store lol. I just save every item in trash!!!

[@trishsmith6565]

I’m learning so much from your lovely videos. I am so appreciative of you sharing your talents! Thank you! 😊🌸🙏

[@TreasureBooks]

You are so welcome. Thank you!

[@LSI.]

You're right...these grunge ephemera look so much better inked and in a journal. I've been adding these to my junk mail booklets and they add just the right interest.

[@melanieevaldi7222]

❤❤❤ your little bags. You are a mass making machine.

[@sistematikajgana1985]

Your videos are so inspiring, and your energy and talents are divine. I didn’t have any idea what junk journals were, but I was always attracted to and fascinated by magic of paper. You taught me how to transform that fascination into action. After each of your videos I watch, I create bunch of things inspired by what you showed. I would like to send you photos of items I created inspired by your work, but don’t have the option to attach it here. You are an amazing person, please keep bringing magic into our lives. Najbolja si!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Natasa!!! Hvala!!! Are you on Instagram? You can tag me there (instagram.com/treasurebooks03/) I would love to see your projects!

[@sistematikajgana1985]

@@TreasureBooks yes I will do that.

[@philippians4890]

They look great! Awesome style🥰

[@sallysmith2937]

Yay! I love paper bags. Now I know how to make them! Thanks for sharing. Very inspiring. 🌺🦋🎲🧩

[@rgporter1957]

I love these baggies and can't wait to start making a bazillion! Not only will they be great in journals, they'll be beautiful little gifts, too! Thank you so much and I can't wait to see all the other little trinkets you made over that two day period. Wowzer!

[@TreasureBooks]

hehe I love it!! Thanks so much for watching!

[@karmaleenash2841]

What a great idea for a series! So glad you are shared it with us. Thank you! And yes, I am going back through old videos to get ideas!! 😍🥰😍

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much lovely :)

[@tuthillg]

Very cute little bags! So easy peasy and cute! TFS the inspiration, Natasha!

[@karenbearden6198]

I get so many ideas from watching your videos. That's such a neat and simple way to make a bag, never thought about making my own. Thanks!

[@TreasureBooks]

I'm so glad!

[@naidacreations4472]

Love how you mixed piece together to bring out the pretty bags. Thanks for sharing such beautiful ideas. God bless you.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Naida!

[@terimurphy9400]

Really great ideas, Natasa, as always! You think of the most creative things. Thank you for sharing. I love these and can't wait to make some. I especially like the idea of gluing the smaller one to the larger. And even where you tucked the small bag behind the other one, too. Such simple things, really, but I never seem to think of them on my own.

[@cindybarnard8273]

I love how you take simple, common materials and make beautiful treasures. So inspirational. Thank You 😊

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Cindy!!!

[@begosanchezfotografia9304]

I could spend all day watching your amazing tutorials. Great and elegant creativity. Very relaxing as well to watch. Thanks a lot for sharing!!.

[@nicolecunningham9350]

Yay! I have a bunch of rectangular paper cuts from a recent mod podging project, so this is perfect. I especially love the beads and charms on the paper clips. And the flip through of your journal at the end is a special treat! Thank you for generously sharing this tutorial with us.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you for watching Nicole!

[@susanmary4752]

Oh my...when you brought out your little off-cut box and asked if any of us had one like that...yes, yes, yes so many boxes of treasures!! Hate to throw anything away that could be used. And your ideas are so lovely.

[@TreasureBooks]

Hehe thank you so much Susan. I have a HUGE version of that box, I never throw anything out! Thank you for your kind comment :)

[@Erdbeertod]

Thank you so much for this video! I just startet to create my own junk journal and I found hundreds of videos about how to design the pages but not how to craft such small things like baggies or envelopes. Your video helped me a lot!

[@TreasureBooks]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)

[@KitchenCounterCrafts]

In 2 days!!!! WOW! I love the way you make videos and put so many ideas for inspiration into one video! Thank you for sharing your creative mind

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!!

[@theresadeussen257]

Delightful! While watching you I made three different bags, each with its own charm. This is a great idea I will use a lot! Thank you.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thanks so much 😊

[@sandofthesun]

What a fun craft to just have fun and create! ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@TreasureBooks]

I agree! Thanks for watching!!!

Great video looking forward to more ☺

[@lindaisrael]

Super cute bags, Natasha. I really like how you showed to use any paper to make these. I also love your little stash of scraps! Thanks so much for sharing with us! Have an amazing day!

[@cottew]

How have I never found your videos before!? I love this! Thank you so much. 💜

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Anjanette!! Much appreciated :)

[@Sircaymen]

I have a bunch of brown packing paper that I received in the mail when I order things. I saved it thinking i would use it fir something but i never knew what to do with it. Now I know!! It will make great little bags. Thank you so much for teaching this amazing idea. You do such amazing creations. I love watching your videos. Thank you, thank you.

[@TreasureBooks]

Oh yes, I save all that packaging too, so much it can be used for!

[@jansfield5314]

You come.up with great ideas that don't cost a fortune or the earth! Just love it when you make another video, I love to follow everything you do! Thank you x

[@TreasureBooks]

Oh Jan thank you SO much!!

[@MarysPlace2009]

I love these. I have quite a collection of vintage wrapping paper. Made about 10 tonight. Truly an original idea. Hugs, Mary. TFS

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you Mary :)

[@KraftyKim]

where have you been all my life thanks for your great and inspiring vids

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much 😊

[@rneustel388]

You have such an excellent teaching style, and you’re so easy to listen to. Thanks for sharing this great idea and tutorial.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!

[@kemerson3543]

I was wondering how to make small bags, and here you are with the perfect tutorial! I’ve been saving the waxed paper cereal comes in inside cereal boxes to make small bags for my journals. I had to run into my craft room right away and try it out. It works! I used clear gel glue to seal. Thanks so much for solving this for me in such an entertaining way. :). Subscribed and saved!

[@TreasureBooks]

I’m so glad you found it helpful! Thank you for subbing ☺️

[@teresacobb1760]

Thanks for the lovely video! I always learn so much from you! The only thing is I don't have a sewing machine...my sister still has it 😢 so no access to sewing or beautiful materials like you use. I do pretty much everything from scratch and I love it. Take care❤❤❤!

[@mskerriboberri]

I didn’t only like, I loved.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much !!!

[@suemobus5906]

I love your projects! Thank you for educating us!💕

[@jordancruzlogan22]

I love your voice! It is so calming and the videos are great to watch! Thanks for the inspo

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!

[@dawnc8755]

I love these ideas on repurposing materials for homemade bags! Wonderful in a journal, and also as a snail mail gift or even to keep a small gift card in. I love how you wrinkle the paper for added texture, and your clusters are so cute. I like the idea of using a stamped word as a focal point, and postage stamps as focal points are one of my favorite ideas. Thank you for sharing!

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Dawn, you have some great ideas :)

[@kathleenmcdowall8741]

Loved it! Such great ideas!!

[@monikfleur1982]

Hello, beautiful, j adore, merci du partage a bientôt 😺😺

[@gloriasolerrojas5134]

Me encanta tu trabajo y tu ingenio, me tienes totalmente enganchada a tu chat, desde Granada, España, mis más calidad felicitaciones❤

[@kathywalker857]

Just found you (2/22) and find everything you create amazing. I especially like the video where you talked about being a refugee. It made me cry knowing that you had to experience such hardship. You’ve taken that experience & found what brings you joy. What courage you have. Thank you for sharing your talent & creativity. Kathy

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Kathy :)

[@nancycolby687]

What a great way to use up any kind of paper...💖

[@k.susieroloff4801]

Sweet and simple! ....love it!...have a good day from New Braunfels, Texas.......😻

[@Poohtle]

I made two undecorated baggies in the time I watched this. I can’t wait to decorate. Thanks for the craft along tutorial

[@TreasureBooks]

Wonderful! Thanks for watching :)

[@yelena86]

This is fantastic! I have some brown paper bags my boys use for school lunches that’ll be perfect for this. Thank you so much for sharing this idea with stuff I already have. Australian craft supplies are so expensive, I’m jealous of people in America where the Dollar Store is actually a dollar and not like our Reject Shops etc, we can’t buy hardly anything with just a dollar lol. So Thanks again for sharing this fabulous video. Sending love from NSW 👍✌️🙏❤️

[@TreasureBooks]

Yes I totally agree!! In our $2 shops, hardly anything actually costs $2.

[@cherylknight4190]

I worked on mine as you moved forward . So much fun! you are just so creative!!

[@destinynel6343]

Lovely little bags. So excited.

[@herartsallwaysforward7277]

Beautiful as always! 🎉

[@sirensong3556]

[@valgrant3303]

WOW. I am just learning about journalling as such and have been tremendously inspired by this presentation. Fantastic idea. I am trying to get my head around tearing books. But loving this so much.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Val!!!

[@reneasmith1588]

Yes, please, show how you made that cover! I just discovered your videos yesterday and I'm addicted! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@dd-nm3ob]

Jealous of your artistic talent! Can't wait to try creating a few of these! Thx!

[@vickievegas1837]

Very nice I just made some library pockets similar to these now I need to go back into my craft room and make a few of these so I can have these in my arsenal. As a new junk journaller. I’m learning a lot. I’ve been following you for a while now. I just wanted to thank you and tell you you do such a wonderful job. Your little envelopes your little clusters have become treasures. Thank you.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Vickie, that means a lot :)

[@kdnkdd]

Very pretty and quick and easy. tfs.

[@joditraub6827]

Your videos are so inspiring and encouraging. I’m collecting all kinds of goodies now😊 I’m making a junk journal for my daughter and daughter in law- both have birthdays this month 🤞🏻🤞🏻thanks

[@rosemaryhaight667]

These are so unique. Each one you make are different.thank you for sharing your ideas. You explain every little detail so well. I will definitely have to make one and can't wait to get started. Thanks again❤

[@valerieb8006]

You never fail to bring fabulous ideas my way through your videos! Lots of thoughts from this one!... I Really enjoy your teaching style. Thanks So much!...shared with my sisters.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Valerie :)

[@rhondadorst3553]

I love love love this idea. 😀

[@cynthiamostacato7894]

Just brought some white paper home from going to a craft show where they wrapped a set of wine glasses for me. It will work perfect for making several bags for my Christmas journals I am making. I am not good at making clusters but after watching you and Yvonne Preston you girls make it look so easy. Thanks so much.....cyndi m.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much Cyndi. Clusters are really quite easy, and the trick is to make one, and then use that idea/layout to make more, and the more you do the easier and quicker it gets to put them together. They add such a lovely finish

[@sandyshore5082]

Do you ever get tired of all the complements?!! Your vids are far and above...like how you keep all the clutter off camera...everything demonstrated and explained just right...inspiring ideas...and you are a beautiful person...(I think I might hate you a little...pure jealousy!!) ...I am currently working on the fan bookmarks...happily subscribed...fyi...jennibellie started me on my happy crafting journey, too...

[@TreasureBooks]

Heheh Sandy you make me laugh. Thank you!! I do try to keep all the clutter off camera!! I want the project to be seen in its full glory haha, thank you for noticing. It bugs me when I watch back a video and realize there's a bit of something in the corner of the frame, and I didn't realize at the time of filming. Bugs me to no end! I never get tired of compliments, but I do feel unworthy to be honest. Impostor syndrome starts rearing its ugly head. Thank you for subscribing, it really means a lot! Jennibellie is THE queen of creativity, she turned my world upside down, I love her :)

[@sandyshore5082]

She also is humble, and has a sense of humor?...I now officially crown you queen of the world....nuff said...btw, I have had a big box of beautiful assorted feathers for several years, waiting for inspiration to strike...still waiting...would love to see your ideas on using them...

[@darnelleechols8556]

Hi Natasa These little baggies are really cute. I don't quite know what I would do with mine, yet. (I'm a crafter too. I like keeping my creative mind active. Creating makes me happy). I love the homespun look of these baggies and I love that they are easy to make but at the same time, they are high impact eye candy. P.S. You can sew those "bits" together too (instead of stapling) for even more visual detail.

[@TreasureBooks]

Definitely! I try to do minimal sewing in my tutorials if I can, because I get a lot of comments that people don't have a sewing machine. I figure, most people have a stapler. I always prefer to sew anything I can get my hands on really. Sewing would also serve as a focal point itself!

[@ginabadeaux9319]

i made two of these ,one with tracing paper and 1 with 110lb white cardstock .im just using mine for storing my little goodies.thank you my love

[@retiredbooknerd]

This is such a wonderful series idea!! I loved this video and I will definitely be adding some of these bags to my stash! Can’t wait to learn more. Thanks for sharing!! 😊

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much !!

[@angelagaither6439]

The envelopes are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing and inspiring.

[@TreasureBooks]

Thank you so much!
