When doing the larger journals I always like to add a small simple quick in and out journal and your creative ways reminded me to add a smaller journal to the large ones. I love simple, attractive closures. It's like the perfect necklace to the dress!

[@TheArtfulAddict]

I so agree, closures can add that special, 'extra interest,' can't they? ♥️

[@raisavaz]

If you have an old belt you can recycle it to use as a closure. It will require a little work and rigging up but it will look very beautiful for bigger and/or thicker books.

[@TheArtfulAddict]

That's a great idea, thank you so much for sharing!

Thanks for the tips......................😻

Glad to help!!

[@judydorman2833]

Stopped by just to see what you were doing. You gave me an idea for a journal that I didn't put a ribbon in before I should have. You can start with your wax thread on the inside when sewing a signature in , go to top, in the bottom, and in the middle. It will sew the ribbon to the signature. Thanks😂😂❤

[@TheArtfulAddict]

Thanks so much for stopping by! You are welcome to stay as long as you like! ❤❤❤

Thank You!☺️

[@timothymathetes]

Thanks for these closure ideas. I have seen the belly band and wrap around types. The others were new but cool 😎 ideas. The book style with the elastic closure, you mentioned that you would do a tutorial on that, have you done it as yet? I am ADEBO, Tim's wife 😊

[@TheArtfulAddict]

I'm so happy I could show you something you haven't seen before!! Honestly, I cant remember if I did a tutorial using the elastic closure. I'll have to check. If not, then I will write it down so I dont forget! At first, I was like, Oh Wow, a guy left me a comment! Hahaha.

[@brendaleitzow8062]

Thank you for these ideas! Have you done a video on the style of the little book with the red poinsettia? This is the first video of yours I've watched and I will search for it but in case you forgot... 🤣

[@TheArtfulAddict]

I'm so glad you found the video helpful! Seems like I did a couple of videos when I made that one... one was titled, "Preparing a Christmas Envelope Junk Journal," and another one was "Christmas Journal Adding Final Pockets" and "Christmas Envelope Journal- Create/Decorate Cover -Assemble, and Final Flip Through". So best I can tell, there are 3 videos. It was from 3 years ago, so they are older videos. Hope they help!

[@tobiyanda810]

This was really interesting I'll have to look into how I can make them I am new in the journal world

[@TheArtfulAddict]

These little booklets are pretty simple, I'm sure I've made them on the channel. If you can't find the tutorial, there are tons of vother ideos out there! Happy crafting! ❤

[@salberg1]

This is wonderful. Can photocopier paper be used in the booklets

[@TheArtfulAddict]

Absolutely!

[@judyrobertson9479]

Do you have a brand or name for that magnet? I love your ideas.

[@TheArtfulAddict]

I'm going to need to watch that video to refresh my memory on what I used. I'll try to let you know. ❤

Pls make a type pf clousure using the button like things in women purses to keel them closed

[@TheArtfulAddict]

Hm, I'm not sure I understand.

[@krishmaurya3085]

@@TheArtfulAddict umm... That magnetic button like device used in mini women purses

[@TheArtfulAddict]

Oh, I see, a magnetic clasp. I have since purchased some small magnets...make that, tiny, magnets, that I have used on my own. They aren't the kind that has an indentation like the kind on a purse. I'll have to see if I can find those, they seem really secure. Good idea!

[@krishmaurya3085]

@@TheArtfulAddict yeah those things try using like gold of those on a matte black journal that would be really cool and something a lot of people would like

[@TheArtfulAddict]

Great idea, thanks so much for the suggestion ❤

A hair hair tie

Yes! I used a hair tie on a sticky note cover. I glued a flower to it and it was adorable!
