I love using journals. I’ve filled so many with art and words and scribbles over the years, but there’s something special about making your own. In this video, I’ll be sharing my top tips for making your own journals, from materials and papers to a couple of my favourite easy binding methods - even if you don’t like sewing. So if you’re a beginner, you’ll have a journal you can fill with your own creations!

I’ve been making journals for a few months and learned quite a few tips here. Love the idea of adding pages once bound and the accordion no- sew journal. 🧡

[@sharonthrelfall7174]

Hi this is the first journal tutorial I've watched so far that didn't include loads of “necessary tools and equipment”, great to know you only need scissors, glue and a small paper cutter to get going, thanks for sharing your craft.

I wanted to say how you inspired me to make my very first junk journal! I chose the prompt list from Junk Journal January 2022 and have 3 more prompts left - it has been so fun and I absolutely love it. Thank you for your videos!

[@megjournals]

Aw thanks so much! Which prompt was your favourite? :)

[@ladytalon]

@@megjournals definitely ‘scented’ - I put several drops of orange-cinnamon oil on a piece of fabric, and it made the journal smell so good!

[@DazzlingStar07]

Shopping bags makes great for journal pages too

It was right after Christmas so I had loads of beautiful wrapping paper and theres always the endless recycling pile. I had a blast and now I want to get back to it and Im having trouble getting started to thank you for sharing

[@sharonfimpel7447]

In creating a journal, I have become a paper hoarder. That's right. I cannot pass up an opportunity to look at any paper I might find at work, a thrift store, friends house. It's ecomean addiction. Occasionally, I go through them and donate a box to a thrift store.❤

[@megjournals]

I am the same 🤣

[@ehmcke]

I have this problem with old books - I pick them up to use for art purposes, then find them "too good" to use for art purposes and go get others. It's a cycle turning into a cyclone. 😀

[@amyfigura4890]

😊

[@MaryanneDekretser]
