They turned out really pretty. I like the zigzag finish around the outer edge of the covers.

[@Saacibo]

Thanks so much. I love sewing my journals, and zigzag is my favorite. 😊

Thank you Dragana for sharing this helpful tutorial on how to turn a recycled cereal box into a beautiful junk journal. I'm happy to say my stash of cereal boxes is growing (lol) and my first 'box' journal cover has now begun. Anxious to move to step #2. Many thanks! 💗

[@Saacibo]

Oh, you're very welcome Karen! Those cereal boxes come in really handy. My stash is a bit low, I guess I use them up fairly quickly, lol. I'm very happy that you enjoy watching and creating! Thank you so much 😊❤️

Hi Dragana...once again, these covers are amazing! I really do like how you finish everything off so neatly, and it's all coordinated. Your machine stitching is so nice too. I love the idea of putting some ribbon through the trim on the spine to cover the binding. I have watched the videos of the completed journals 1 & 2 - they are so beautiful. Now I'm off to watch journal 3 be completed. Thanks for the detailed tutorials! 😸

I really love your techniques; this may become my go-to method for journal covers. Do you have an industrial sewing machine? Just wondering about sewing through the paper and cardboard with a regular machine.

[@Saacibo]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I don’t have an industrial machine. I have a 50 year old Bagat machine that can easily go through jeans and journals and a Brother Strong and Tough ST371HD. 😊

[@marydepew8062]

@@Saacibo Thank you for that information! I've also already made two journal covers using your method and absolutely love them. Easy and fun, and great results.

Thanks for watching ❤️

Why tape and glue? Cant you just use one or the other?

[@Saacibo]

You're probably referring to the third cover that I made, landscape version. To construct that one, I had to use tape to join spine to the cover because there were 3 separate parts. I used glue to double up cardstock, because it wasn’t thick enough.

What type of varnish did you use?
