Easy NO SEW Junk Journal / Junk Journal Tutorial / How to Make a Junk Journal / Beginner Journal

[@LeenieCee]

I just found your channel after looking for junk journal tutorials where they aren't all brown and a bit too grungy for my taste. Anyway I loved this video and your style, thank you so much and I started my own journal whilst I was watching along 💌

[@MercyCuenca]

The Strawberry Shortcake picture is EVERYTHING!!!

[@thriftyday]

I love it too🍓

[@taleeayeary2495]

Yes please show more tutorial for inside composition book ideas.

[@thriftyday]

I work on the inside of these journals every week on my Patreon Lives🥰🥰🥰

[@cherylstevens9665]

I prefer no sew and glue in all my books. The sewing looks nice, but I can live without it. Yours looks lovely.😊 and yes, I made it to the end; it was easy🍳

[@thriftyday]

Aww thank you so much! and thank you so much fro watching😃

[@linaleblanc8288]

I'm the same way. I can take it, or leave it. But it really does look nice

[@RenaMiller-u1v]

Glue degrades over time due to heat and cold conditions and just simply the aging process stitching is much more permanent and durable.

[@AliceGallagher-u8l]

I do like the no sew journals because I'm not a sewer and I don't want to miss out! I love the composition book idea

[@patriciacambria6414]

Love to see part 2 ! The journal is so colorful !

[@thriftyday]

Sounds great! I will do an part 2 for sure:)

[@LuvsSno]

​@@thriftydayis part 2 available now

[@sherylyoung5814]

Thanks for showing us your process! So creative!

[@sandra-di6ry]

I love this video!! I do not sew anymore! I am loving junk journaling though!! Just needed ideas for junk journals that do not have to be sewn!!

[@DJ_Dutchess]

"Miss Rick Rack" 😂 The vintage beauty pageant we all need! 👑

[@maryalexis7328]

You do not need a tiny attacher. They are over rated! Love your creative journal.

[@thriftyday]

OH OK! IM on the fence for sure:))

[@marilynsutherland5079]

I love it I’m not a sew person so I love that. Thank you for the ideas. 😊

[@deedeeslife]

I LOVE how you simplify the process. So many will make the same thing but make it seem daunting. And you also make sure to let us know that there are many options. Great video!

[@jennyor867]

Me gusto el video, me susbcribi, y le di dedito arriba. Muy bonito y sencillo. gracias.

[@kiraburr6856]

I love how the yellow rick rack matches so perfectly with the cover yellow flowers and looks great with the back cover as well. I am also a mismatched girlie for sure, both with my journals and my clothes ;)

[@connied3309]

I love the fresh, clean, light-hearted look of your journals. They’re so fun. Another way to cover the front and back is with fabric, ironed on using Heat and Bond. The edges don’t ravel and the fabric takes on the feel of a cloth-bound book. Thanks for the inspiration. I’m going to look for some kids books when I make my candy-themed journal.

[@meridithlevinson5814]

A candy-themed journal is such a fun idea!

[@thriftyday]

oh how fun a candy theme journal!!!

[@thankfulmomof2]

My 80 year old mom started me into junk journaling. We love your videos! We both tried making the "perfect" junk journals but these composition ones are so "freeing" and much easier to make than the sewn...and we love your style! When you have time--would you please show us your "thought process" with the adorable pictures you choose for the journal covers--and the journal cover with the red frame. Did you paint the frame? How do you find the perfect pic to fit in the frame? I love how you create a theme for your books! The pictures you find are so adorable for your book covers! Thank you for these videos! Going to thumbs up each one I watch! Love them! Thank you!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@thankfulmomof2]

I just found your part 2! Thank you!!!!!

[@RowdyFairyDesigns]

Thank you I prefer no sew and I adore how this looks

[@thriftyday]

wonderful and thanks for watching!

[@CissyPantsCrafts]

Glad to know you use the friends of the library sales. I'm a volunteer for two friends groups in Los Angeles library system. I rescue so many of the vintage books with plans to create journals or find someone who would love them to create a journal with. As you know, at some point, the books might just get tossed. I'd rather see them used for journal making.

[@shansdiary.]

I am such a BIG BIG BIG paper crafter/junk journal person. I always loved it but the only problem was i had no idea how to make one out of the composition books lying around my house. And i’m NOT someone for sewing😅 So this tutorial seriously helped out! I’m so happy and im also going to pick up some lace from a shop nearby. There’s a lot of charms and stuff there available for junk journals. I also love how i can adjust the pictures to my taste. Thanks a lot!❤❤

[@crystalwaddell537]

I'd love to see a part 2 with pages!

[@thriftyday]

I work on the inside on my Patreon LIVES every Tuesday 🥰

[@heartworkbyleslie]

I love this! With some old hymnal pages, it would be a great prayer journal!!

[@creatingitonedayatatime]

I was going to use mine as a scripture journal so I love the idea of using old hymnal pages. Thanks for that suggestion.

[@ravenofthewild]

Thanks. Love the look of sewing but I have an injury making sewing painful and I suck at it too 😂. Getting back to paper crafting after years of being unable to so love these refreshers. In gratitude 🎉

[@sandy_521lakestreet]

I'm new to this and I am so in love with your no sew. I'm not started yet. I have some books and am waiting for my Temu to come in to start. Thank you for the no sew. I cannot see well and cannot sew. Thank you for this video!

[@faymeowsiumo]

I really love your pink duct tape😊I like to use clear tape to add extra pages too

[@elliegreen8777]

Oh that’s a great idea!!!!

[@csanchez1020]

I was excited when I saw this tutorial. I love how you go old school with tape and staples.

[@thriftyday]

Awww thank you so much!!

[@linaleblanc8288]

I LOVE how you use all the different trims and ribbons. It just adds so much ❤

[@thriftyday]

Aww thank you! I love making journals easy and fun!!

[@headhunter6668]

So happy I found this. I want to combine a bullet journal with my junk journal and wasn't quite sure how it would work out but now I can't wait to get started. THANK YOU!! FYI: watched it twice😅

[@thriftyday]

aww yay!! Love hearing it and thank you for watching!!

[@laurakovach743]

Tiny attachment staples by Tim Holtz are definitely smaller than standard. I use both. Love this video.

[@curli-lettey4319]

These are nice ideas, especially the trim.

[@deborayarin4562]

The journal is very cute, I love it, beautiful. I like the glue junk journal. Congratulations.

[@susansmithey5317]

I’ve made a couple of composition book journals on my own without watching any tutorials. I’ve learned so many new things here. I especially love washi taped edges and adding in pages with clear tape. Thank you

[@thriftyday]

oh how wonderful!! Makes me so happy to hear:)) Thanks for watching Susan 😊

[@Floss0]

I loved this journal. So pretty. I will for sure try this one. Thank you!

[@lillianarmstrong3183]

I’m planning on doing one for traveling and a couples one

[@eternitywithjesus777]

I really am starting to get your style of journaling now after watching this one! So cute. And, I haven't learned to sew yet as a Newby. I just bought a sewing machine. I really do love this! Tfs

[@thriftyday]

oh im os happy to hear that! Its a really fun and relaxed way to create:))

[@Luellen.24]

Love no sew. Love Rebecca Hoot. She set me free with journal making and such! She taught me to understand that nothing is perfect and there are no mistakes in crafting. Great video!! 💖

[@thriftyday]

Oh that's wonderful! Love her and her channel so much!!

[@afeeser]

I like paper tape. The kind that is for bandages.

[@KarolinaPetursdottir]

[@thriftyday]

Isn't Rebecca the best?? Will do for sure!

[@SavvySerena]

This is what I'm doing now. The sew journals scare me, plus I don't have a sewing machine. I never thought of tape to add pages. Genius!

[@thriftyday]

So happy you like it! thank you for watching!

[@constancekimmel6847]

No sew is a great quick journal. Thanks.

[@creatingitonedayatatime]

I have never seen any of your videos or come across your channel until today. Your tutorial is the only one I've ever watched all the way through and not been bored. Concise and to the point and so easy to follow. I like to do tip ins with my papers instead of taping but otherwise I'm excited to go get a composition notebook and try this. Thank you for this tutorial!

[@1888starz]

You're so fun to watch and listen too. Love your no sew idea and it is soooo cute. Thanks for sharing.

[@DawnConnor-n4r]

Love this journal!! I love composition notebooks and at back2school time you can get 2 for a dollar!!

[@DawnConnor-n4r]

I don't own a sewing machine so I have to glue and staple everything!!

[@thriftyday]

best time to buy!! I totally agree:))

[@missitrotter7535]

The tiny attacher staples are much smaller (and super expensive compared to regular staples.) I do love it for certain things when a smaller staple just looks better. I have a vintage Swingline stapler that is a workhorse!!! They still make them but not sure how good they are.

[@thriftyday]

Good to know thank you! 🙏🏽 May search for a vintage Swingline!!🫶🏽🥰

[@erlyne0]

Not sure how I missed this one when you first posted it, but happy I found it! :o)

[@katcapa2367]

Hi I am new to your channel and I love everything. Yes I make composition book journals and I do watch Rebecca Hoot. I grew up sewing and had that hobby for most of my life. I switched to paper so I did not have to sew.....Thank You for sharing.

[@thriftyday]

[@kristinewithak3616]

I love this no sew!! Thanks for all the tips. I used a composition notebook with pages glued together to keep the sympathy cards I got for each of my parents. It was very helpful. When will you add junk journal charms to your etsy shop? Love your style.

[@HeirloomVintageCollectibles]

Very nice and helpful!

[@donnaharrison2688]

Just found your channel. Love the channel. Love your tutorial. Going to try this with my next journal.

[@rowiegrl]

Love how fast the no sew comes together, I try to have a stash of sewn ruffles but hate dragging my sewing machine out each time. I add washi to my edges too, I think it looks so pretty and adds something special. I also love ric rac I haven’t added it to any covers -that I can remember, but I will on my next c.notebook. Yours came out lovely 😊 tfs 💖

[@QueenNoTeetha151]

I’ve added patterned paper by cutting a lined page down so there’s only one third left near the middle and then I glue a piece of patterned paper both sides of it and the lined part that’s left acts like a kind of tooth in the middle if you get what I mean and that works too. I will now try your way also.

[@irenemueller1259]

Super cute journal! ❤

[@barbarafunk8767]

I totally agree with no sew journals are the best way to go for me. Yes I will plan on using this tutorial.

[@thriftyday]

So happy to hear and thank you!
