Envelope Journal - Putting Envelopes Together #1

Hi everyone. There was some interest in the envelope journal I made and how I put it together, therefore I decided to make another one in case anyone would like to follow along. I had not shown how I stuck the envelopes together to begin with so this video covers that.
Take care xxx

I just got two big boxes of envelopes from someone!! Right when I got home I jumped into the tutorial and completed my first envelope journal!! So easy, thank you for the tutorial! I just need to cover and embellish now. 🎉😍 And you were right there’s so many ways to assemble and once I got the hang of it I went on to do my own flips and additions to it!! 🤩

[@natwilliams]

That is awesome! I am glad you found it useful as I was still so new to papercrafting at this time ☺ Since this make I have kept all envelopes and have so many now 😅 Must make more of these myself 😆 Thanks so much for letting me know how you went 🤗💕

[@elvyescotoescoto355]

I loved it that idea about envelopes, thanks for sharing us, Congratulations! 💐

[@natwilliams]

Thanks so much! I need to make a pile more of these to use up all of the envelopes I have gathered since 😅☺

[@telenaeldridge3737]

I absolutely love this idea!!! Paper lunch bags and envelopes are always my first choice for creating a junk journal!!!

[@natwilliams]

Thanks so much! I do love my junk too 🙂 I work with a lot of digitals and shop things at present but always try and slip my junk into my creations as well 😆

[@1leggedwitchywoman]

I’ve seen so many people attribute this style journal to someone else…but I do believe you were the original. So creative, and great tutorial. Thank you! ♥️

[@natwilliams]

Thanks so much, but I definitely was not the original 😅 Although I did not follow any tutorial as I wanted to make it in my own style - bit of an experiment 🙂 Have a great Christmas

[@simonedk96]

Brilliant!!! I love how you made this 3 years ago and it is still so up to date. I just got my envelopes that I have saved to make one of these envelope journals. Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@natwilliams]

Thanks so much ☺ it is wonderful how this has inspired others! I have way too many envelopes and am looking forward to making more of these myself 😄🌻

[@simonedk96]

[@natwilliams]

Thanks Amanda, this is a great one to redo - use more of those pesky book pages! xxx

[@maryangelascrafts7014]

I thought you did a marvelous job explaining each envelope and why you were using which ones & where! I too am anxious to get going on the next steps! Thank you for doing this project again!

[@natwilliams]

Awesome :) Thank so much for the lovely feedback, I am enjoying making this again as I had no idea what I was doing the first time - still don't know much but it's still fun :) xxx

[@carolynramirez316]

Love this have tons of envelopes so will try this.

[@natwilliams]

It's a lot of fun finding different ways to stick them together and cut them to make the pockets etc. This was a great recycling project too :)

[@mariapatriciachavez214]

great ideas

[@wendymontgomery45]

Brilliant, thank you

[@natwilliams]

You are very welcome! 🙂

[@berniedekker6983]

Thanks for the tutorial, Nat. Have made one along with you, so much fun!!

[@natwilliams]

Oh, that's great Bernie - it is a real thrill when people want to make something you have made! I wasn't sure any one would like this when I made the first one xxx

[@CreatingwithJovi]

Thank you for the tutorial 💕 Very helpful 😊

[@debwood5032]

That was an excellent video, I really enjoyed it, thank you so much. I did it while you were making it, you made it easy to follow 😊

[@natwilliams]

Thanks Deb, I try to make it easy to follow as I can't do complicated hahaha :) xxx

[@michellenowacki8673]

That was interesting to watch your process , I need to collect some envelopes, here in the uk we don’t get double window envelopes, I know it doesn’t matter.

[@natwilliams]

No doesn't matter, I tend to cover one of them over anyway. My Mum was giving me her envelopes so between those and mine I ended up with so many! :)

[@chericandream]

Ok, ❤!!!

[@natwilliams]

Haha, thanks :) Fun project this one - have to make more soon as I have so many junk mail envelopes 😅

[@corinadehaan2516]

Wow, I love it Nat =D Your work is amazing =D

[@natwilliams]

Thanks Corina xxx

[@corinadehaan2516]

You are welcome Nat xxx

[@WasteSomeTimeWithMaggie]

This is a great little journal, I use all my envelope to make journals but I just split them open and sew them lol tfs Nat ....Kia Kaha...

[@natwilliams]

I like that idea too Magz - will be making one like that sometime. I also love the collaging people do with the different patterned insides - amazing xxx

[@janetnieves5056]

[@oarsumcraftsmadebykj3277]

Cool

[@natwilliams]

Thanks ☺

[@marymiranda8559]

❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@mauricepowers3804]

I love this video however if you use fabric glue you don't have to have two types of glue it sticks instantly and securely....love my fabri-tac!!!

[@natwilliams]

Thanks Maurice, and agree! I hate glue stick and prefer to use either fabric glue or tacky glue these days - especially around the edges of things!

[@mauricepowers3804]

Where is #2 video? Love this!!!!

[@natwilliams]

Thanks so much, I have a playlist of the videos here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIq3iGiIga2mq7c so click on this link and on the right will be a list, if you scroll down on that - you should be able to find #2 :)

[@evelynbrady3347]

Stupidly easy haha! I love it but I cut all my envelopes wrong so I’m having to make top to go into each other. I open them by cutting on the opening side! I’m really confused but I’m not giving up. I’ve been 2 days and hopefully I have control tomorrow

[@natwilliams]

That's the spirit Evelyn! You could always use a paper hinge to put your envelopes together too, since you have cut them this way. Just cut a strip of paper 1-1and a half inches wide and as long as needed to slip in your envelopes, fold it in half length-ways then slip one half in one envelopes and stick and the other half in the other envelope so they fold. Good luck with it and most of all is to enjoy it! xxx

[@evelynbrady3347]

Thank you! I’ll let u know if I get it done

[@conniekeen7732]

You definitely need to get more organized before making a video. Hard to watch.

[@natwilliams]

As this was 3 years ago, I would like to say I am much more organised now 😆 .................but that would probably be a lie 😁🤪
