Love it, I’m making four, For my sisters, nieces and sister in law 🎉

[@arig4435]

So pretty! Adding washi is great, however I think you should have added a strip to the wrapping paper pages too, it would make them sturdier and less likely to curl. Just a thought 😊

[@terryroe7713]

The washi tape is what makes it. I’m making several for my granddaughter. I’m not always going to be 19:46 here so I’m making them for different stages of her life. They will be wrapped and marked.

[@csanchez1020]

What a wonderful idea.

[@mariapatriciachavez214]

those chilis (cats )look cute

[@HollyandPoohCorner]

Love the cat calendar images you picked! I've made a large composition junk journal but with less of the composition pages, I just replaced with other papers but it is a fun way to journal. I hope your friend likes the journal! Thanks for sharing. 🥰🥰🥰

[@thriftyday]

Love that!! I definitely add more pages to mine too🫶🏽 this is a gift and I know she’d prefer more lined paper😄

[@kyliecrump2075]

I made one for my may journal to keep memories in it. :) I have used them in the past years then went away from them and now im back, they are so much cheaper than most journals out there.

[@csanchez1020]

I'm definitely going to try this sewing version. I've become hooked on your non sewed composition book journal. I've already made 3 of them recently!!

[@thriftyday]

Oh yay!! It’s so fun to make them, I bet you will love making them sewn style too🫶🏽💘

[@Eggsandbaikey]

Omg I’m totally making one of these! I’ve been wanting to make an altered composition notebook and I already know how to do that stitch - I can’t wait to try!

[@thriftyday]

You should it’s so fun and easy!! I love this style💘

[@eddidevore8925]

I've washi taped several books. I love the look and feel, too.

[@csanchez1020]

I also love the crinkly sounds of the glued together pages.

[@thriftyday]

It’s so pretty when it’s finished 😃

[@thriftyday]

@@csanchez1020oh me too!!

[@karigarvin1223]

Ok so I am new to you. And I love when you said “why do we do that”! Love the journal and I have a few comp books due to children going to school! Wonderful job!!!

[@Graciela_Ibarra83]

This is such a great video. Thank you for sharing. I use my notebook as a monthly memory keeper and I was wondering how to add or take out pages without ruining my notebook. Definitely good to try this method. 👍🏻

[@thriftyday]

sounds great! I also have a no sew version tutorial that may be helpful to you too! Thanks for watching 🥰

[@terinskiojean]

My grand daughters (ages 10 and 8 1/2) are coming to visit in 2 weeks and I plan on making these with them. We always do a crafty thing or two together, and this time I thought we'd alter some composition books. ❤

[@thriftyday]

Oh my goodness how special!! What a wonderful memory to create with grandma 🥹🫶🏽💘

[@amandaclack8355]

What a beautiful journal friend. The Frankenstein cat would be precious for a Halloween journal.

[@thriftyday]

Right?? Not gonna lie I saved that one for me lol

[@shari6110]

I will most DEFINITELY make one of these!! I'm so glad I found you, I'm LOVING all your videos ❤️

[@debbyyoung5169]

Thank you for this video! Sometime I am hoping you could do a tutorial on your plastic charm dangles. I am not on any social platforms and your shop does not ship to Canada to buy one. I love all your videos! Thanks for all the inspiration.

[@eternitywithjesus777]

I really love your style. I just completed my first vintage/retro journal for my stepdaughter. It has one signature but packed! I like the idea of regressing back to the 70s, 80s, and even 90s and make a journal for myself in this style. It should be fun finding stuff.

[@thriftyday]

Oh I love that! It’s such a wonderful way to show someone You love them🫶🏽💘 what a special gift 👏🏽🩵

[@annekenlon]

This is such a terrific style. I have quite a stack of composition books in my supply cabinet and you can bet I pulled one out and was clipping out that signature right along with you! What fun to have a great start on a new journal before your video was even done! I've been wanting to make a whimsical-themed journal soon and I think this will be perfect for it! Thank you!

[@thriftyday]

Oh my goodness I absolutely love hearing this!! It’s so fun to be inspired and to create😃 thank you for sharing that with me!!

[@jennr7500]

I came here by way of Anne Kenlon and am so glad I did! I bought a bundle of comp notebooks sometime back. I just didn’t like what I had seen done with them. I like to write as well but even that would be difficult for me to be brief in my journaled thoughts without discipline to do so! I have a bunch of calendars from past years - from the 90’s forward! I threw away all previous year calendars from 1972 back then. Anyway, a shame and I digress. I am looking forward to giving this a good solid try. I’m wondering about using calendar pictures instead of wrapping paper. Ya think? And that’s some nice single color washi tape. Thanks Anne for mentioning this YT and thanks Leah. Oh! A nice 70’s logo! 😂❤

[@GwenTheTrashWitch]

Great tutorial! That cat calendar is she precious! TFS!

[@thriftyday]

Thank you! 😊 I love the cats too🐾

[@rowiegrl]

😊love it! I’m laughing at myself because I make my junk journals this way but never thought about deconstructing one of my composition note books 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I’m starting a new study next month and might try this on a mini. 😊

[@melissamcdonald7180]

Beautiful journal. Thanks for sharing.

[@UnicornRainbowsToysandDolls]

I love this method so much and am definitely going to try it!! I like to re-do comp books too but your method is much better than what I’ve been doing. 💖 One thing I do like to add though is a binder clip tassel - I actually clip it to the front far left of the cover and it looks so cute! Thanks for this awesome video - I love your channel so much!! 💕

[@lindsayj30]

Off to search composition books for the UK! 😆

[@kandeeswift2473]

Ohhh I’m so making this !!! Thank you for sharing ❤

Love It 💕

[@thriftyday]

I appreciate that thank you😃

[@michaelaphillips2031]

I LOVE everything about this! I am looking online to try to find the washi/masking tape that you are using but I can’t see clearly the top of the packages to get enough information. We do not have the store near us you mentioned where you purchased them. Do you mind sharing the brand/info that is on the top of the label of tape that you are using? I have never found a decent washi tape and those colors are gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant tutorial! I know the recipient will enjoy this special gift so much! 🌸🐱🌸

[@maggiek9111]

[@rutedossantosserafimbiaz-ux5om]

THANK YOU so much!!🫶

[@danaw.822]

You make sewing the journal so easy, does it matter what kind of thread you use?

[@angelmelton2204]

Hi

[@LeticiaUPC]

I did mine exactly like you did yours, but probably because of the papers I chose, mine has the papers of the notebook coming out. Any advise for the next time?
