Scrappy Clusters: How to Make Fun and Easy Journal Decorations

All my links in one place linktr.ee/cameliacraftsdesigns Today i'm making scrappy clusters. I'll be showing you how to make fun and easy junk journal decorations using fabric, lace, ribbon, buttons, gems, pearls and all manner of other bits and bobs.
There is no plan today, therefore the plan cannot go wrong.
Just scraps and my glue gun.
Scrappy clusters here we come.

[@katrineleber7238]

Oh my gosh! I’m on the floor laughing at you and your fake finger!! You are a riot! I would really love to just sit in there and go through your tubs,jars and bins. It’s not hoarding if you use it. Even if it’s 50 years later, like me. It’s getting tough for me to get in the door of my craft room. Although, it has gotten so much better. These little clusters are so fabulous. Hugs, treen 💕💕💕🫖🫖🫖

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

😅 i now have proker silicone fake fingers. Just been making was seals with the girls, should have used them. I tipped a candle over and the wax dried in the shape of North America, i'll show it on a video. Just a random thing to add to the hoard😊🤗💜

Hi Julie, these clusters are lovely. Love your new glue gun, be carefull😂💜

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Thanks Violet🤗 Funny you should say that, i swear the bosch glue isn't as hot and doesn't dry as fast as other glue iv'e had. More research needed on that, but if i wasn't imagining it i should avoid a few burns😅🤗💜

[@RockyRoadCreationsbyDiana]

These look so fun. You have got to watch Luise Heinzl's video on how she takes buttons and decopauges them. They would look great on your clusters. Love your glue gun. I have one but the glue doesn't want to come out.

Brilliant as always!! While i was watching this i had a flash back to my hot glue days and looking like a mad woman trying to deal with all the glue strings. It gave me quite a chuckle. 🤣🤪

Oooo I was given s tip to get rid of the strings, blast with a heat gun..haven't tried it yet. Knowing me I'd set them on fire😅🤣😁🤗💜

Those are lovely Julie. A great use for tiny scraps. Take care with the glue gun. I have a similar one and ended up with a huge blister on my finger! Ouch 🤬 By the way - a clean desk is the sign of a sick mind 😂

Hiya. You were saying how you burn your fingers, well you can buy hot glue gun rubber finger protectors. They don’t stop form working and are cheep. I got mine on eBay. Your crafts are lovely. Regards Rita.

Hi Rita, after the video first went up i received some in a happy mail. My fingers were very happy, thank you so much for watching love 😊🤗💜

[@DeniseS-6867]

Hello Julie, loved watching and listening to you as you created those gorgeous clusters. I was forever burning my fingertips, now I use my new silicone flat brush and no more burned fingers. Thanks for sharing and have a fabulous weekend.

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Thanks Denise, yes I definitely need a silicone something or other😊🤗💜

Doesn't a decent glue gun make a difference? Love your little clusters and I can identify with the bags of scraps after finishing a project, I'm always finding little stashes of 'treasure' too. You crack me up Julie, love your faux finger, always looking forward to your next video.

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Oh it's amazing Leigh, I'm going to need more glue sticks soon as I want to glue everything😅 Thanks love😊🤗💜

[@padali29]

Little rabbits! 😂😂😂 I'm with you, I really like the one with the red button. Stands apart. I'm sort of a clusterphobe. I had a cluster session a couple weeks ago. Once I got going I almost couldn't stop. 💕

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

I know what you mean Alina, I always have far more clusters than I need😁🤗💜

[@DebsDitties]

Oooolala💕💕 Lace and buttons and clusters= Pretty!!! Love these, Julie 😍 I have been seeing that precise nozzle Bosch glue gun and I just couldn't take it anymore... It is now sitting in my Amazon cart after watching you have sooooo much fun with it 😜 I have had my current glue gun for literally decades... I deserve a new don't you think? Lol Next I am going to look on AliExpress for those tiny crocheted doilies.... too CuTe!! Blessings~~~

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

You totally deserve it Deb😊 I'm loving mine, it's made what used to seem like hard work, very easy. There was never much control with my old gun. I'll still burn my fingers, but that's operator error😅🤗💜

[@sherryliberto6749]

Thanks for sharing, Julie! That was so fun ! Have a super fantastic weekend 💜💜💜

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Thanks love, I'm having a chilled day, still haven't tidied the desk😅🤗💜

[@carolynmyers2865]

If you have a Dollar Tree they have finger cotlets that cover the end of your fingers so you don't burn them while you use your Glue Gun. They are comfortable and stay on well. Then you can push down on your prices without pain. Also they don't stick to the project.

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Funny you should say that Carol, a lovely subscriber sent me some after she saw my struggles😅😁🤗💜

[@lynneaberr1878]

Oh, I really enjoyed these! My dog gets a new scarf each time he gets a bath or groom at the groomer. I've got several years accumulation from multiple dogs, so I've been cutting a few of them up to use for fabric bases on clusters. I like all your little doily pieces and laces in your clusters! TFS

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

What a fabulous idea Lynne's. Those scarves are the cutest. After collecting my neighbours dog from the groomers a while back, I was tempted to get a fog just so I could have it groomed😅🤗💜

Such cute little clusters. Another fun video. Thank-You 💐 I wanted to add a tip for you… if you have a small rubber spatula from kitchen they make great “faux fingers”

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Brilliant tip Bonnie. I actually have one right next to me that came with the Tim Holtz melting pot I bought when they came out before deciding it was too dangerous for me😅🤗💜

Hi Julie. I'm a recent subscriber and I've been going through your vids. I love this cluster idea and was wondering if you could show how you would use them in a journal? Thanks. Love your channel!

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Hi Vee, thanks love and welcome to the channel🤗 I mainly use these on the front of journals. They can be a little bulky for ephemera, but I have used them that way depending on the journal. I did end up popping one on a little journal I did last week, which you can find here kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3i6fn6jl8uVbdk 😊🤗💜
