How to Make a SOFT COVER JUNK JOURNAL From Start to Finish | Easy Step-by-step Process | DIY Journal

If you would like to learn how to make a pretty soft cover junk journal, join me for this easy-to follow process!
Hey Guys!
Welcome to my channel and to another junk journal tutorial :)
In this video we will actually be making a whole journal from start to finish! I chose to make a soft cover journal, with some gorgeous embellishments to the outside cover, and beautiful papers inside. I hope you will enjoy this process and find some inspiration!
This video is actually an official tutorial for VectoriaDesigns, showcasing their new paper collection. I loved this one, and as soon as you see the papers you will know why :) It is full of my favorite colors, beautiful images, and it makes a gorgeous junk journal.
Below you will find the links to the kit if you would like to check it in their shop :) Also, I am including a supplies list and all the measurements.
Thank you for watching and have a wonderful day!

Martina, 🙌 if I were to be a “scrappy friend” I adore every bit of your video. I cannot scrap yet. However, I can watch -learn new techniques., and make one for ourselves. That is seemingly the hardest part for me rafting with paper, choosing the cover. I give yours a 10🌷

Just lovely! I've made junk journals, but it was fun to watch you build it and put it together. I loved your closure and the addition of the key. Your directions from the beginning to the end were very clear and I was able to understand what you were doing. Someone new to junk journals would benefit from watching. Just beautiful!

This is lovely! I am never happy with the back side of my eyelet. Even when done properly and using a cropidile, the backside always looks bad and not smooth. Any suggestions?

[@TheGreekGoddess369]

Hi I'm new to scrapbooking I just subscribed to your channel and TFS

[@TealandTattered]

Hello Esta! Welcome, I'm so happy you joined me :)

[@gemmaro1073]

I wish I could find the books she used! I did. But they cost too much for me to rip them up!!!! Well the US version (or ones similar to what she uses since those are basically shipped from the UK and the shipping costs are insane!)

[@jenniferbarr4156]

Beautiful journal. I love that key you used for the closure. May I ask where you purchased it from? TFS. Hugs!

[@TealandTattered]

Thank you so much Jennifer! I got a set of key charms on AliExpress a few months ago :)

[@jenniferbarr4156]

@@TealandTattered thank you!

[@pennykitzmiller]

Hello my name is Penny. This is my first time here. I really enjoyed your video. I subscribed to your channel. So I will definitely be back.

[@sharonwatson4085]

Enjoyed your tutorial. I like the digital kit but I wished Victoria Designs wouldn’t put “so many” attached note papers and articles like the pen, key, etc on the pages. These articles REALLY take away from their beautiful backgrounds on the pages.

[@cheryltallafuss1886]

You are using Victorian
