Come make a junk journal with me- Part 2: Collating the papers into a signature (beginner friendly)

[@lorettataylor3374]

It’s so very interesting to see how other junk journal makers put together their signatures. Especially a maker that is as good as you are. Thank you.❤

[@sara-leearmstrong5009]

Oh me too, it's amazing how many different ways there are! I start my journals quite methodically, but once we get amongst it, lol, it's not going to be as methodical! It certainly won't be page by page lol I just couldn't! The journal just wouldn't be me. So as something pops into my mind to make or create, I'm just going to film it 🩷🤗

[@SimBianchi]

This was very helpful for me, thankyou!❤❤❤❤

[@sara-leearmstrong5009]

Oh I'm so glad! This showing my process of my journal making is really hard, especially to film so that it makes some sort of logical sense 😂 bit as l9ng as someone is helped by it, it's all worth it 🤗💛

[@pamolds8597]

I also love how the awagarmi paper tears. It’s gorgeous

[@annmariehayes5641]

I am good at making the books, its just decorating i have trouble with for some reason and knowing what to put in it, thanks for sharing i , love those fluffy edges and i love a crocodile mouth too 💓

[@sara-leearmstrong5009]

There will be lots of page makes in this one, it's a promised series from beginning to end, which will mean every page filmed 🥰

[@juliagates3264]

Another thing to incorporate in my next journal which I've never done - just ripping the pages. I always use a paper guillotine/scissors but I really like this look. Thank you for this series, Sara-Lee!

[@sara-leearmstrong5009]

Aaw you're so welcome, I hope you l9velies will send me pics of these journals when you've finished! 😊🙏

Loving this process, do you have a u tube on how you coffee & tea stain papers? Every crafter seems to have a different way of doing this.

[@sara-leearmstrong5009]

Hi 🤗💛 thank you Not specifically plain coffee/tea staining but you could watch this one and not use the dye. The drying times and process is the same 💛kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHObgqZ6qL6IbbMsi=HKgFzBP0SsHzJYaT And this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6DLgaygispmaM0si=odJJZG964D0JrGIH

[@sara-leearmstrong5009]

Aaaw Donna 🤗🩷 thank you. I'm not sure about properly lol there's so many ways to do them, this is just the way i find easiest and how my mind works, so heres hoping I can continue to decipher it into some sort of logical explanation for you 😂🩷

Hi , new subbie here. Could you give the measurements of the book and the spine please. I’m new to this and I’m trying to get a feel of the amount of pages, signatures etc… for the size of the books. I don’t want gator mouth journals. lol Can’t wait to see how it turns out. I do like the book jacket for the cover. Thanks for doing this video. 🦃🦃

[@sara-leearmstrong5009]

@jodimartin4250 oh this will totally be a gator mouth! 😂😂😂 my journals always are! But of course, the measurements are H18cm x W12.5cm X Spine 3cm Lovely to have you join me 🥰🩷 thank you

[@junk.journal.atelier]

It’s easier to rip papers if you pull on the wide side so instead of pulling on the small strip that you don’t want you can pull the side you do want. I hope you understand what I’m trying to explain 😅

[@sara-leearmstrong5009]

Hehe unless you're a lefty! Then everythings more awkward! Sometimes I find it easier to rip the small side so I can see if it's square and I'm ripping off the right amount. Perhaps it would be easier if I had a clear ruler to do it your way 🥰🩷

[@autumkennedy4133]

Can you link the Japanese washi paper I think is what you said? I’ve seen mullberry and rice and have both and they are super thin! I would love to get the one you have! I’ve been looking for it another KZbinr uses it too and can’t find it!

I find this pack helpful as they are all labeled with weight and type, then you know what you want to order in future
