Really cool! I’m going to give this a try, I have never made a fairy journal, nor tried this but I want to try my best for myself and a friend we both love fairies, I don’t have a printer but have been saving up anything fairy that I can find, it’s very kind and generous for you to share this with us journal lovers 😊❤ Thank you, your creations are gorgeous.

Discovered your channel this week and watched several of your videos. Wow! You are incredibly creative and your journals are so very unique and amazingly beautiful. TY for sharing how to make your covers. Now, off to watch your video on the sewing in the signatures.

[@passionsofpaper]

Thank you 🥰💜

[@microdot153]

Your cover is very complex. Many layers. Thank you for sharing your techniques and you explained your steps very well. I watched several of your videos today and every single journal is unique and so very outstanding. You have a very extremely creative mind and wonderful attention to details. Very stunning. I liked and subscribed right away. Thank you !!

[@passionsofpaper]

Omg thank you!!!! Sweetest words ever! Really just made my day! 💜🥰💜

[@VitalSigns777]

Stamped the fabric, Brilliant! Love all your amazingly creative work! That is the best use of eyelash yarn I have ever seen.

[@brendasmith-allen4601]

WOW!!! You are amazingly creative. I love that this is so organic as it goes with the fairy theme even enhancing it. TFS

[@ScrapperGenLa]

Thank you for this. I had recently asked, on one of your videos, if you had done a tutorial on your covers. This morning I looked to see if you had responded, and before I even got to where I had posted the question, this video popped up! But, wow! Don't know if I have it in me to try this, even though I love it! Thanks again!

[@jeanlubo2446]

Thank you for sharing that. I knew it would be a lot of steps to those covers, you have so much detail in them . They are beautiful for sure. I would love to make one like this, but I know I could never match yours in detail and beauty. Again thank you for your time .

[@passionsofpaper]

Thank you 🥰 and you are welcome! I love helping people, especially when it comes to junk journals, I just wish I was better at it 😅 Trust me, when I was first making fabric covers, they were nothing like this. My sewing and fabric pieces were crooked and the details were very simple. Just keep practicing is the key!!! ❤️

[@jeanlubo2446]

@@passionsofpaper you have far exceeded all the videos I’ve watched and there’s a lot of them. Yours are by far best. You really make it feel magical, and enchanting, and surreal. You are gifted at it.

[@passionsofpaper]

@@jeanlubo2446 🥹😭 wow thank you!!! 🥰❤️

[@CraftyMoonshine]

This was a great tutorial! So much of what you said is exactly the same for me, my sewing machine I only bought to sew paper, if I have to sew fabric it’s chaos 😂 the use of the stitch for the tassel is genius, definitely doing that in my next journal

[@ScrapperGenLa]

@@CraftyMoonshine me too re sewing machine

[@takethedoughnut]

This is lovely! You made such cool choices with this cover, and i loved watching the process.

Aww thank you ☺️🥰 I felt like I did an awful tutorial. It relieves me to hear it was enjoyable! Thank you so much for your comment!

Excellent tutorial and information is very helpful. Thank you... i have been collecting the items for a soft cover and now i feel more confident on putting it together. THANK YOU AGAIN !!!

I just found your channel. This tutorial is amazing, and you explained the process step by step in a way that we can follow easily. Even I can attempt a fabric journal. Thank you. I'm looking forward to watching how you add the signatures. Blessings

[@passionsofpaper]

Thank you! That is really good to hear! 💜

[@Sheamarie]

This is a great tutorial. I love this cover. I have been wanting to do a cloth cover like this for a long time, I just didn't know where to start. Your instructions are great, and easy to follow. Thank you so much for sharing. I subscribed and I would love to see more of your work.

[@passionsofpaper]

Thank you!! That is so good to hear!!! I was so worried that I did a horrible job. It was so hard making the video. I hope you are able to make a cloth cover and if you have any questions feel free to ask! ❤️

[@somepirjo2440]

Thanks for this video, it's a very good How to-video and I'm going to try this for my next journal. Love your fairy journals!

[@passionsofpaper]

Aww thank you! I'm so excited! I hope your cover turns out well! Remember, everything gets better with time. My first few soft covers were not that great. Bad sewing, simple details, etc. But I kept practicing and adding details and eventually got better.

Thanks! Excellent tutorial. I am concerned about the thickness and if my machine could handle that much fabric. Will have to try it and see.

This was really so many steps. TFS all of them. I enjoyed it several times already!!😊😊Where did you get most of your supplies for this journal? If that is not asking to much, especially the burlap that you used. I love that color!! Thanks so much for sharing. Linda

[@passionsofpaper]

Awesome! I get most of my supplies from Amazon. However the purple burlap and the ivy leaves were from walmart.

[@llcreationsstudiojournals]

Thank you for the information, how kind of you to do so. @@passionsofpaper

[@barbaraholzmann946]

New subscriber here - so glad I stubbled across this video as I want to make a soft cover for my next art journal. I have looked through your channel and did not see how you actually make your tassles? am I missing it? and if so could you point me to it? Please and thank you sooo much

[@passionsofpaper]

To make the tassel seen in this video, all I did was lay out a bunch of fibers in a straight line, grab the middle, and use the book binding thread from the middle signature to tie in a triple knot right around the middle of the fibers. I have this video here that shows another way I made a tassel if you fast forward to 6:50: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f362g2evbcqcgdksi=ZwQKpbccyUUoTbQ6

[@stepintoart1668]

Do you ever incorporate a hard spine or do you only sew the signatures to the fabric.

[@passionsofpaper]

My latest video (yesterday) was a journal made with a file folder and thick fabric, making the cover flexible yet firm.

[@joonsmelodie9927]

What is the white material you use for thickness, is it canvas? And if it is, is it a light, medium or heavy thickness of canvas, because I am currently trying to make the front side of my first cover using 2 layers of medium canvas, but lol my sewing machine is literally choking on it.

[@passionsofpaper]

@joonsmelodie9927 I make covers out of all different materials. I'm always experimenting with different fabrics or different packaging/cardboard/chipboard. Try to use materials that you have around you and that work for you and your needs. There's sooo many ways to make a junk journal cover!

[@joonsmelodie9927]

@ Sounds good. Lol I think tho that the real problem is probably my cheapbutt sewing machine I just bought for like $30. I think I'll have to get something better...even if it is just for junk journals.

[@passionsofpaper]

@@joonsmelodie9927 haha! I actually have never sewed in my life until I saw how people used a machine with junk journals. I'll never ever regret buying my sewing machine. I have even used it to fix clothes!

[@joonsmelodie9927]

@ I have never sewed til now either but I now look forward to making pillows and other crafty items as well!

[@TheWitchsRattle]

Can something like this realistically be accomplished with glue, if we don't have a sewing machine?

[@passionsofpaper]

There are some pretty strong glues out there. Fabritack is something most people recommend, especially for fabric covers without sewing. I personally couldn't stand it and only use Art Glitter brand glue. It's super strong, and I've never had it come apart when I glue fabric to stuff without sewing. Although be careful when gluing fabric. If it's thin fabric, the glue will show right through it if it's not a super thin layer of glue. But maybe fabritack doesn't show through. I don't know.
