MAKING A MINI JOURNAL - Using Scraps & Collage Papers

[@Rkayhejny3725]

Love watching you work, Kylie.

[@NicieIbarra]

What a great idea to recycle paper scraps into little journals and also using raffia as the binding. Thank you for sharing!

[@mmonr]

This is a glorious little grungy beauty!! Thanks for sharing.

[@AmandaJane229]

Gorgeous range of visual ideas. Pure art Kylie.

[@LiterarySnob]

This looks very fun!! ripping papers and gluing down are some fun ways to make things!!

[@marmaz57]

Kylie - I love to watch you work your creative magic with scraps! I wonder if I could make a mini journal like this and use it for a book of quotes of poetry verses? The colors and textures of this little journal are so rich and beautiful! Love the simple binding and the fabric scrap tabs. Also love that you kept in the fiddling with the raffia and the jammed staple. Keeping it real - and persisting! You're such an inspiration to me. Thank you!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Kylie I really really enjoyed watching you create this amazing and gorgeous journal 📔 and I really really love ❤️ this. I really really love ❤️ the grunginess of it too. It’s really really earthy and beautiful too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@anniefaint6373]

A lovely little journal,,,xxx 🌷💗

[@Nanakinsz]

Miss Kylie, those ink blops with water were a TRANSFORMING touch! Thanks for that absolutely BRILLS inspiration!

[@healingmagichands]

Those sorts of books are so much fun to make and flip through.

[@Lucy-ff2et]

I do love this journal: the colors, the materials, the simplicity of construction, the cohesiveness of the pages. I am definitely inspired! I also loved your comment about just creating a journal as a piece of art in itself. Not every one has to be filled. Thank you.

[@KriRama]

I find projects like this to be so therapeutic! ❣️ even just watching u is relaxing 😅

[@lottesteeg3289]

Love this little book. Love your style, so easy just go and start sticking and painting without thinking too much. Thx so much for sharing. Greetz from Holland

[@nathaliet.3985]

Ohmygoodness!!! Absolutely gor-geous!!! 😲🤯🙀🤩😻❤ I preferred it before you stapled the bits of fabric in, but that's just a personal taste 😊 Thank you so much for sharing, Kylie! 🤗 💕

[@pattiehartmann1754]

I love your little work of art 🎨

[@veronicastewart1112]

I love this little journal. I have a ton of scraps, so I will try this soon.

[@Usdukes]

Lovely! I have to stop throwing those messy papers away! You made very good use of yours! 😊

[@phylliswilliamstn]

I love, love, love this journal. The colors, the patterns, the textures, the leftover pieces of inspiration from other projects that go into a new piece of art that still says ‘Kylie Coo’

[@susanfox7495]

I love thinking of all those languishing scrap papers in my art room joining forces on the master board and becoming a journal-yay!! Thanks so much for inspiring us!!

[@margaretpinsent6388]

Aw man, I love this! I'm trawling through your gelli print videos, getting inspired. The paper keeps sticking to my gelli, so I guess there's more for me to learn! Thanks Mx

[@ingridf3490]

Its so funny - your style is so different from my own, but still I learn a lot about prosesses and tecniques and composition and colours. And I LOVE your result!!!

[@hankejoosen4029]

What a cute and beautiful little journal 🤩🤩🤩

[@cynthiatalbott-nelson7530]

This is fantastic Kylie!!! I've loved all of your journals but this one seems exceptional to me. It was great to watch you flow along incorporating all of the components you had picked out. Fabulous piece! Thanks for sharing 🌺

[@janetvisochi-baum7572]

i love this little journal Kylie - another great use for our gel prints - scraps and lace - it really turned out lovely - thank you and be well xx

[@brandiperelli4090]

I love it so much! Thank you for sharing this unique mini journal!!!

[@micheleneconradie4997]

Thank you for this video, Kylie. I had given up on creating because I just felt I sucked at it. 😢 So discarded all my gelli prints, ephemera, etc. I found your lesson randomly and found it so inspiring. I can feel my creative mojo coming back and am now ready to give it another go. Today I’ll get my gel plate out (thank heavens I didn’t give it away). And I’ll start over. I loved everything you did in this episode. So wonderfully grungy.😊 Thanks again. Blessings 🙏

[@KylieCooStudio]

Oh Michelene, I’m sorry you went through that. If it’s any comfort I think most people feel like that at some point and it can be hard to shake it off - it must have been bad for you when you actually discarded things. I’m glad this particular video has helped you and maybe started to reignite your creative mojo and I do hope that you will restart. I’ve a video that will go up today (Wednesday) that is really just a bit of creative play for the sake of it - I say a bit about not having anything in mind and it just being about tending my creative practice and therefore about the process of creating being the important thing. If you feel inclined then give it a watch. I’ll be thinking about you. If you get a chance then let me know how you get on. 💗🤗

[@patriciarcarmichael1219]

Fascinating! There is more in this tiny book than I can take in during this video. It requires a longer sitting to ponder each page to really and truly appreciate the complexity that is there. I am thinking I need to loosen up and let go of precious...yes, need to work on that! Thank you, once again for a push, a nudge toward thinking about another way of doing art.

[@evelynrauseo467]

This is amazing. Your journal is stunning! When you finished both sides of the Master board and smoothed it out with your hands, I had to smile because I do that. It is like I need to reward myself with feeling the texture of the piece. I have always been crazy about paper! I love it’s look, feel, smell, and the sound it makes! I Love the textile pieces you added, too! The finished book is so exciting! A real treasure just like you! TFS 🙏💞🌷

[@annlane1358]

This little journal is just stunning! Love how you use little bits of scraps etc to make something amazing to look at! Thank you so much for sharing, take care x

[@cindycreateforlife]

I love how all the scraps of this and that look together, the neutral colours with pops of red and gold, love it! Mixed media is a lot about the process which is why I love it, it doesn’t have to go any further to be of value, it’s perfect already!💕🇨🇦

[@redcamel1961]

What a beautiful master board. Your collage of prints turned out well.

[@jwatley313]

I love this many possibilities ❤ back again lol

[@dianadee23]

Wow! Another amazing project and a great use for scraps

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much 😊

[@leslielacko3626]

I so appreciate the journey from miscellaneous collage paper making through the collage. Beautiful

[@ailishniriain787]

Really cute...I know you said you aren't great with the sewing machine but I think the little fabric add ons would have looked great if you had put a couple of stitches in each of them. This little project would be great to do with children maybe using comic book characters or get the children to draw pics of animals, etc and then tear up and glue. I love this and will try. Thank you for showing us how to do it.

[@debbiesjournals4550]

Adorable journal! Love the patchwork neutral look of it and the ability for it to be to expand with the tie. You items are always so creative.

[@neorachana5604]

[@TwoOldCrowsMixedMedia]

How fun! Love the use of the “catch paper”…I use shipping paper on my table and save them-I am getting quite a collection and I’ve always made accordion journals with them--really like what you’ve done!!! Very nice!

Kylie, thank you so much for showing how you use your collage papers - this is brilliant!!!

[@pawsnchores9915]

What a beauty, Kylie... gorgeous colours and textures, and shows what can be done with scraps and bits & pieces. And omg... you gave the sewing machine a spin!😃 I absolutely love this mini journal. Thanks for sharing🙏 Jill

[@creativepassages]

It turned out lovely! I do want to try this in the future. The fabric tabs just pulled it all together!

[@cindyhenry1410]

What a fun little book! I love how you use your “drop sheets” and other “cast-offs” in your projects. I think the page as a whole when cut down into smaller bits is just so fascinating. While it’s fun looking at the little book, I think it would be neat to add the individual squares in a larger journal as tuck spots or pockets. I really like the look of this and it has sparked some ideas for me! TYFS! ❤️🦋💜

[@evypetre949]

Awesome…!!! Hugs ❤️❤️❤️

[@CuriousMoonDesign]

Just love this Kylie. I so love collage and the way you end up with beautiful new imagery from torn pieces of other images. I can see so many new images in your new journal. And faces too. Pareidolia... wonderful work 💕❤️

[@sarwatfatima9686]

Love this cute journal 😍 💕

[@bonnerdebbie]

Beautiful little journal Kylie! I have about 5 small journals that I am working on that I now have new ideas for adding to. I am trying not to make anymore until I finish a few. Have a wonderful day!

[@susanvanschuyver7900]

Stunning little journal! Awesome use of those papers.

[@APGJamie]

I love it and making the journals are the creation - using them is secondary, but can be just as nic xo

[@mwsdesigns]

I love everything about this project and would like to make my own version. It's so unique and creative. Thank you Kylie!!

[@ChattylaineCreates]

I do love your mini journal, great use of the scraps and fun to collage them down... Its very interesting and I enjoyed watching.. Its a great way to get using some of those endless scraps... Maybe this would be a great new journal for me too ☺️💕😊🌼

So awesome. Will have to try this . Thank you for sharing.

[@riteasrain]

I love this! It must feel really lovely in the hand too, all those textures, including the fabric. I've been thinking how to use up more of my scraps so thanks Kylie, I'll definitely be doing this asap 💓 I have rafia too, great idea 👍and the lovely rich gold fabrics at the end are perfect. I have a tendency to make books and leave them too, like you., just to feel and look at later.

If you put a dab of fabric glue on the end of the ribbon/string, dab to gather the ends while it dries and it will go right thru!

Love love this little grungy Journal❤ do you mind sharing what kind of camera you use when you film your videos?

[@jenhillesheim5824]

This is very lovely! I tried to make one just like it but my paper became rigid and warped badly once everything was glued down. I used cardstock as my base, so that might have been the problem. What type of paper did you use as your base, Kylie? Thank you for being such an inspiration! You are SO creative!!

[@KylieCooStudio]

Thank you so much for your kind comment. I couldn’t remember what I’d used for this so I watched the video. It was simply a piece of packaging paper - probably paper that was in the box of something I ordered online. So the base was really flimsy but the addition of the collage papers strengthened it. Most of the collage papers were quite thin as well. It might be that the cardstock you used was just a bit too heavy. Hope that helps 💗

[@jenhillesheim5824]

@@KylieCooStudioI will try to use thinner papers the next time! I did find that once I adhered more paper to the back side of the cardstock base collage (making it double-sided, like yours)it flattened out! I didn’t realize this-but I guess gluing on both sides cancels (or balances out) the warp! Thank you, again, for sharing your gift 🤗

[@KylieCooStudio]

What I also do sometimes when something is warping is once the glue is dry I will put the paper under my craft mat and that is usually sufficient to flatten it out. 🤗
