Library Style Pocket DIY for Junk Journals & Smash Books Tutorial

[@lucy7b]

Thank you for this tutorial, I’m making pockets for a recipe book. Thank you. Here in England we say ‘You hoo’ for that yellow glue. I do love listening to all the different ways English is spoken around the world.

I am new to junk journalling and have been searching for an easy envelope or folder to create. This is perfect. Thank you for sharing this tutorial.

Fun tutorial Shelley Lynn!

Wow, you gave me a new thought for my junk mail. Maybe not library pockets, just following you up to the fold a 3rd of the way. I have some flyers already folded in 1/2. I folded in the edges, cut one side of fold off (bulk) , cut 1 inch off one end and folded the other end over 1 inch for flap. Glued sides and notched the opening. I'm using a corner rounder on the flap. They can go in my junk journal, glued down on 3 sides giving a tuck spot as well as a pocket. Thanks for the light bulb experience.

This is exactly what I needed. My way was far too fussy and I need to make a LOT of pockets for a book collection.

I never made a junk journal or maybe a small one for a friend long time ago but i am addicted to watch KZbin movies of such gorgeous journals and love to see inspiration how to make Things that you can make to put in journals.

Hi 👋, Shelley! I just now found your channel. I am a new subscriber. I love this library pocket idea💡!I have old books that I am using for junk journals 📘 so this will be perfect 👌. Recently I bought a Spanish language Bible at DT and will use some of it for library 📚 pockets. TFS ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜

[@CraftingMamas]

Hi Gailia, How lovely you found a Spanish language bible. I love foreign language books. I am happy you found me. I love making Junk Journals. Wishing you a creative & crafty week. Aloha, Shelley

[@casswms]

Yes thank you for the inspiration!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much 😊

[@bluemoon5766]

I'm going to make some of these but not glue down the claps in the back so it can b 2 pockets Idk if that would still b considered a library pocket but still fun to me

[@CraftingMamas]

Hi Tiffany, They are super fun to make. Yes, I think they would be considered a double library style pocket. Hope you have fun making them. Happy creating!

[@yowgiaoart5630]

Hi Renee, Thanks for watching...

[@MRVICTORCRAFTER]

Lovely!

[@CraftingMamas]

Thanks Victor!

[@ingridarlington5745]

Your pocket Wings should be glued behind the big part. (Basiclly stack and glue the wings together, then glue the wings to the back part). That way your inserted tag won't be interfering with the wings that you glued inside the pocket. Hope that made sense.

[@lucy7b]

JoMo's Dipped in Chocolate it might be a bit too tight that way.

[@casswms]

Can't you gelli print after making the pocket?

[@CraftingMamas]

Yes you can. You can gelli print any time. I just like the inside of the pocket to have a bit of paint. No rules in gelli printing or pocket making....Just fun!

[@CraftingMamas]

HI Cassandra, Just saw your version of gelli printed library pockets in our FB group Trashy Junk Journals. They look awesome! So happy I could inspire you..... Happy creating!
