Beginners Junk Journal Tutorial: Easy to Follow

[@fburky]

I always call it an art journal as I see them as a work of art, regardless of what's used to create it.

[@rebeccaday7076]

Really enjoyed this even though i have made these. I did learn a few new tricks. I lived the second one. It has mt initials on the cover. Hehe BCD.

[@gol622]

Yes I think that way about my journal too some pages may look pretty some more organic ❤

[@ChantelleBuser-hs2qj]

Me too! Agreed!

[@shondra6]

I agree also. 🤗🤗

[@carolexo7269]

As a beginner I thought your journal instruction was very good. The journals are very pretty and functional. Thank you. 🇨🇦

[@karenkirk3185]

I am one impressed ART journalist 😊 I’ve spent hours upon hours of videos and tutorials about journal making and NONE have explained it the way you do! I get it now ❤ Thank you, I’m off to gather my supplies and return to make my new art journal YOUR WAY 👍🏻💕

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thants so wonderful to hear! Thank you so much x

[@annettegoldberg5126]

Thank you for reigniting my passion for crafting. I was getting overwhelmed and put all my paper crafting away. Now I want to go back and use your methods. Thank you!

[@cindyridinger8661]

Apparently YOU can teach an old dog new tricks. Enjoyed this video very much. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤

[@conniebartch9656]

Thank you for showing how to make the basic journal and great tips along the way. ❤

[@tonivince589]

Thank you Tracie. It’s so refreshing to relearn. And be reminded that everything does not have to be perfect. ❤❤❤

[@DonnaGower]

Really appreciate you going back to basics, sometimes I need a refresher to get my brain into gear

[@sharongeyer2304]

I have watched many videos to learn junk journaling and all they did was show off their journals. I love your video that shows us how to get started! Thank you very much!!!!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

You are so very welcome, good luck and enjoy your journey x

[@mshanks2257]

This is the best and simplest beginners video I've seen yet. Very good for sure, thank you!

[@h.p.5836]

Wow!! I have never heard of these journals before. I have so many memorabilia from my travels and adventures through the years. My ex made me delete my FB last year and it held so many memories. I think I will work on this as a way of mending and recovering from the controlling abuse from my ex.

[@louiselill1528]

Good on you xoxo

[@kristinebrousseau8626]

Analog, handwritten letters, calenders, journals, will and have emerged in a big way. Tech/phone option apps are more of a hassle personally. It keeps me more focused and slows my mind to a manageable schedule. Plus it sparks our creative part of our 🧠 that have been ignored.

[@suzielittonwhite225]

Tracy, thank you so much for this great video. I really appreciate the definitions, explanations and step by step directions and suggestions for making a great little journal. You're very good at explaining everything. Thanks again, you're the best!

[@personalestok6693]

I love how well and fairly quickly you’ve taught the basics. Thank you and lovely journals you’ve made.

[@jacquiposener7262]

I’m watching this for the second time because it is so so useful and all the papers are gorgeous. I’ve saved it to my watch again list so I can find it easily. Thanks Tracie!😊❤

[@TracieFoxCreative]

It is pretty dark here in Suffolk too, great British Summer Time lol. You can do this. My video later today is an easy one but tools are required. I make a journal in an hour :-D. 7pm UK time. Hope you enjoy it.

[@lisafenn4238]

@@TracieFoxCreative aww thanks for replying. I'll look forward to the video at 7pm xx

[@camiliacarrero6480]

I am not new to journal making. I've been doing it for years, but you never know how other's method can improve what we do. I watched the complete process and learned so many tidbits to make the process better and less mistakes. Thank you so much.

😅 Fabulous video, you are so patient to go into so much detail, this is the only video I have found, that does make it simple, Yes I did sew in one of my pages upside down, so I put to long pockets on either side of the same page. I have discovered that junk journaling in a wonderful, wierd obsessive & a bit nuts, but so enjoyable. So I will see you in another.❤🎉😂

Tracy thank you very much 19:25 I have been learning to make journals but I need to make a one signature journal this video has been very educational. Your instruction has been so clear and I appreciate it very much I hope to learn some things that I did not pick up in the year so that I’ve been doing this. I very much appreciate your style of teaching this journal and how lovely it is all the information you are giving also thank you again Tracy 😊💕🐩🎶🌺

Ah thank you. The next video will also be a single signature, fabric cover xx

[@emmkaa2099]

Tracie, what an excellent video! I've been making journals for a hot minute now but I clearly remember thinking that I'd NEVER figure all this stuff out, let alone be able to MAKE something that anyone would want to look at. ...and that "three hole pamphlet stitch??" yeah, I thought I'd never figure that one out, but you should see me now! I still chuckle when I do it. Awesome vid and a terrific refresher. Hugs from the southern California desert, MK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗

Just a quick comment here. I am not a beginner. I've been making hard, soft, etc covered journals for nearly 13 years and I still learned a few things from this! Just so beginners know that we can always learn something new from Tracie's video's. And, I like how to the point they all are. Never too slow. Always entertaining and new things in them to discover!! Thank you Tracie!!!

what a fabulous tour of journal making from start to finish. Even though I have made a journal or two I watched every minute of this to make sure I was following the correct way to proceed. I like the idea of making sure that you don't mix up the page order as you decorate - by simply removing a page and turning the others sideways to indicate where it goes back in. Great job as always.
