Cardboard Junk Journal: How to and flip thru

[@Lynn10751]

Perfect way to construct the journal so the pages lay flat. Thank you! Lynn

[@ConsieSindet]

Glad it was helpful! And I agree!

[@armychick41]

Just made one out of cereal boxes just waiting on my son to go find me masking tape then i can put it 2gether thank you for the insiration looking forward to playing in it ❤

[@ConsieSindet]

That is exciting, Emma! Have fun using it!💕

[@goofmeister1949]

Oh my goodness, I love this and will definitely make one. Thank you so much

[@ConsieSindet]

You are so welcome! Have fun making your own!

[@anahurm4456]

I'm always saving the cardboard out of the cat food boxes! I love the idea of turning them into a journal. Great rustic feel and the tape really seals it! No pun intended. Lol😅 Going to make one of these!

[@ConsieSindet]

That's a great idea!

[@bettylongshore9594]

Such a neat and thrifty idea! Many ceral boxes are thrown away every day and now...

[@ConsieSindet]

And now you can make a super fun project! Thanks for watching!😍

[@HazelKLarkin]

Gluing down washi tape is *genius*, Consie. I think I might be brave enough to attempt this.

[@ConsieSindet]

It just helps it to stick better specially cheap washi! Have fun!

[@stacylinn3102]

I absolutely loved this tutorial! Thank you so much for sharing! I love how the pages lay flat to work on!

[@ConsieSindet]

Thanks, Stacy! Yes, that is a great benefit to the journal.😍

[@BarbaraUK927]

I can see so many possibilities for this construction.

[@ConsieSindet]

I agree, Barbara! Have fun finding the possibilities!💞

[@saskiabongers6158]

Wonderful ❤

[@anahurm4456]

I made one a year or so ago from one (corigated) Amazon box. It was inspired by another artist who used stiff wire to make rings to hold it together. Made a smaller ond this year using loose leaf rings. Now i got to put these ideas from your video into another one!

[@da09queenb09]

Came here from Jamie Sawyer’s page and so looking forward to making one of these for myself. Thanks for sharing your process, even the mess ups

[@ConsieSindet]

Welcome, Dani! Have fun making the journal!

[@janetwatley9773]

Love this idea!❤

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Love that it lays flat, thank you for sharing.

[@ConsieSindet]

You are welcome, Arlene! And, yes, that is a great perk of this journal!

[@celticpeasant9753]

Thank you so much for sharing this Consie . I can't wait to make this. Don't have enough cardboard but I will definitely be making this as soon as I can and storing carboard to make more 😁😘

[@ConsieSindet]

You are welcome, Zoie! It is a favorite of mine!

[@carolphelps8907]

Wow! Wonderful! Cant wait to try it!

[@gaildivico3151]

This is another keeper!!

[@teresakendall-vd7eh]

brilliant

[@joycedeming4354]

I knew I was saving all that cardboard for some reason! Thanks for the step-by-step instructions. I love the idea of a junk, 15-minute journal. Removes that hesitation factor when faced with a blank white page in a "precious" art journal! Do you ever gesso your pages before working on a page?

[@robinvogelsang5535]

It never gets old! Love this idea, thanks for sharing more of your talents!❤️

[@ConsieSindet]

Lol! Thanks, Robin!

[@barbd180]

Although I love all your videos, this is one of my two favorites. After watching it the first time, I made my own Cardboard Journal and I love it!. I did my first spread in the first two pages on Valentine's Day 2021 and have added to it on and off until a few weeks ago when I added the last bits. My other favorite hand-made journal is the one I made with the canvas cover. That was a video you did in the membership, and both sit on my desk to remind me to do a little arting when I forget. You always seem to get my creativity going! ☺️

[@ConsieSindet]

Thanks for sharing this, Barb! The cardboard journal is one of most favorite!

[@GudrunsHappyJournals]

Wow, this is great! I'll pick up the idea to make one of these myself. Thanks a lot for the inspiration, Consie! 🤗

[@ConsieSindet]

You are so very welcome! It is one of my favorite journals to work in!

[@silvialamb2288]

I really love your art and I absolutely love the idea of this journal. I am always afraid to "ruin" a costly journal but I wouldn't feel that way with one like this. Thanks!

[@ConsieSindet]

So glad you love the idea! Make one! You won't regret it!

[@shannonfowler272]

You are an excellent instructor, Consie! I love this simple journal! I especially love how you created mini vision boards in your pages! Great idea! Thank you!

[@ConsieSindet]

[@ConsieSindet]

Thank you so much!

[@debbieinruskin8563]

Consie, you will keep me busy until our next playdate. I am the "Amazon Queen" due to Covid and have plenty of cardboard and masking tape. Thanks so much for sharing and I really enjoy the flip thru of your original one. See you in February Play Date.

[@ConsieSindet]

Oh good, Deb! Maybe we should play in the journal in February! Enjoy making it.

[@daylematthews]

Really like this. I have wondered whether it would work just sticking everything together with some sort of tape and now I see it does - but better still see what the pitfalls are in advance :) Thank you for sharing this.

[@ConsieSindet]

Hi Dayle, You are so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful for you!

[@anahurm4456]

Does the cardboard warp from water media?

[@ConsieSindet]

Hi! If you use a ton of water it might but so far I've had no issues with whatever I chosen to use. Hope that helps!

[@anahurm4456]

I usually lay books on top to help reflatten things., when they start to warp.

[@ultraviolet734]

Questions : does the outline of the masking tape show through in your art work ? Also, have you ever used duct tape ? Will paint even cover duct tape ?

[@ConsieSindet]

Yes it can but I do so much collage it doesn't bother me. The masking tape takes paint well so that helps a lot. I'm not a fan of duct tape but I don't think it would take paint great just because it has a slicker surface. If you use duct tape, you might want to go over it with some white gesso to give it a better painting surface. Hope that helps!

[@ultraviolet734]

@@ConsieSindet very helpful. I will stick with the masking tape. Thanks so much !! 🙏🏾🎨

[@bettybraxton1712]

And now the world shall throw out less cardboard

[@ConsieSindet]

Yes! And make beautiful art!😍
