Making a Fabric Junk Journal Cover Using Heat n Bond - Country diary

[@MsMonica38]

Wow, your 2nd video! Very cool! I've seen a ton of your videos and didn't think I'd get back to your 2nd one!!! Awesome!

[@helengibson8196]

I really love this fabric. Thanks for this video Julie 🌷

I have watched and watched this video over and over since its original posting, bc for the last 5 years. I’ve been caring for my father who had dementia, and I had to move into his home. So there was no room and certainly no time for me to craft for yearsssss! Covid hit, and I couldn’t craft. I had none of my stuff and no where to put it. He passed in November, and although I know he’s no longer suffering, I haven’t yet had the full want to start paper crafting again. So I went thru my favorite videos and watched this again! And I’m dying to find fabric like that. Bc I think it’s William Morris (or looks a lot like WM) and I have a whole kit that will go perfect with that. But I can’t find fabric online. And I can’t get to a craft store so I have to buy my crafting stuff online. I wonder if I could find something similar to it on Amazon.

Beautiful fabric.

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Thanks lovely☺️🤗💜

[@grannyslick1829]

Heat and Bond is great. Never would have thought to use it in this way. Thanks

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

I've been known to use it to stick 2 sheets of card when i'm feeling very lazy😘😊🤗💜

[@vanessaboman8143]

Thank you for the inspiration. I am in the U.K. And I call lunch lunch and eve meal dinner. But I grew up calling lunch dinner and dinner tea!!! No wonder I am a confused adult lol! But what ever time it is..It's crafting time! Lol.

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Oh, most definitely. I wish I could craft instead of sleeping😁💜

[@claudiablanton8963]

Thank you for sharing this technique! I bought the bond but was not sure how to use it. It’s actually very easy and I do have an iron and ironing board!! 🤣🤣

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

You are so welcome Claudia. I love the stuff for covers and have been know to use it for backing tags when i need to make alot at once. 😅 Having the ironing board is a bonus. My neighbour moved three years ago and we're still friends, so she didn't hold it against me😊🤗💜

[@robinhaury9295]

Thank you for this video. So informative. Love the fabric!

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

You're welcome love, really glad you enjoyed it 😊🤗💜

Just started with my journal cover, I hope it looks as fabulous as yours. Wish me luck. Thank you for sharing and God Bless.

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

No idea where these older comments keep coming from rose, i rekon you've probably make the journal and used it by now. Here's some retrospective good luck love😁🤗💜🤞

[@craftnanathrifter1048]

Fabulous

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Thank you😊💜

[@eftforme]

Thank you Julie.

[@vanessaboman8143]

Julie I am trying to follow your journal and I am slowly doing the folio thingy!

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

That's brilliant Vanessa. 😁I can't wait to see it. If you need any help just give me a shout😊💜

[@Tattytreasure]

Yay she's back!! Excited to see Edith woooohooo what a banger 🤗 Lots of good tips Julie 😁

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Thank you Tania. Our Edith is a top girl😁💜

[@donnafarnell373]

Fab video Julie! That heat and bond looks great! And for the record, breakfast, dinner and tea are the correct meal names in my book!! 😂

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Thanks Donna. It really is great. I think the dinner time tea time is a northern thing. About 15 years ago I stayed with a friend near Uxbridge. She was surprised when I arrived around 1pm as I told her I'd be there about dinner time😂😁💜

[@traceywilson-kissoon604]

Love your style on every level!

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Thank you so much Tracey😊😁💜

[@popsiesribbonandlace7222]

Hi Julie found you on Instagram so new subscriber to your channel looking forward to watching your channel and crafting along tfs greetings from ireland 🇮🇪🤗

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Thank you so much for popping over. The amount of waffling I do, you'll get lots of crafting done😘💜

[@zoe-paperevecreations]

That looks so easy and oh that fabric is SO GORGEOUS. I've always used fabri tac but sometimes I've been a bit heavy handed with it and it's seeped through the fabric a bit. Will definitely be getting myself some heat n bond. Great tutorial Julie, tfs 👍

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Your welcome Zoe. 💜 Heat n bond really is a game changer i find. Btw when i added the link for it i noticed its now in stock in the UK and a bit cheaper at the mo.

[@zoe-paperevecreations]

@@CameliaCraftsDesigns I've ordered some 😁 thank you x

[@sunnybecwildfern3098]

I have been using H & B for years on applique, and never thought to use it like this for a JJ cover, what a brilliant idea. I enjoyed this video so much, I am from Yorkshire too (living in France now) and the bit about "tea" made me laugh, which part of Yorkshire are you from. I am South Yorkshire.

[@yvonnedirckx7526]

Great video, I'am about to make my first soft cover journal. Definitely going to buy the heat n bond, thanks for the clear instructions.

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Thanks Yvonne, so glad you enjoyed it. 😁Yes the heat n bond it a fab product and very cost effective. 💜

[@katrina7259]

I've only made one fabric covered journal and this looks much easier than how I did mine.

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

It's the easiest method I've found Katrina if you don't want too many wrinkles. It's pretty quick too😊🤗💜

[@Sylvia.Torres]

Gorgeous cover! 🥰

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Thanks love 😊 🤗💜

[@LoriFerguson]

Found you from Insta! Looking forward to learning. ❤️

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Thank you so much for popping over Lori💜

[@eviegorecki5356]

It looks like a nice way to do a soft cover. Would it work for a journal with more than one signature? Or would that need an actual spine area?

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Thanks Evie😊 i pondered the exact same think but haven't tried yet. I'm thinking if i glue a piece of chipboard, the width of the spine needed to the centre of the card before i cover with fabric. Then stich up eother side of the spine it may work🤔🤗💜

[@eviegorecki5356]

@@CameliaCraftsDesigns Thank you. I think your idea would work to just give it some shape and still be soft. I'll give it a try. ❤️

[@Charlathejournalingjunky]

Ooh I need that bond stuff, I’ve always used glue but this seems very easy, I wonder if they sell smaller pieces so I can try it, I may have to visit Akahban fabrics, they should sell it there I Hope 🤞🏻 xx tfs

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Thank you for watching. I've messaged you 😁💜

[@Lady2cu]

What size did you cut your fabric? I can't seem to find that in the video. Thanks so much! I'm going to try making this as soon as I get the correct size. :)

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Hi Michelle, I cut it about 1 inch longer and wider than my piece of card, hope that helps 😊🤗💜

[@Lady2cu]

@@CameliaCraftsDesigns Was your card letter size? 8.5 x 11"?

[@tracyvis2101]

Ooh I can’t wait to try this! I’ve always wondered how a fabric cover is made.

[@jsudor1]

what are the sizes you are cutting?

[@CameliaCraftsDesigns]

Hi Janine, i can't honestly remember, but i'm sure i do say so in the video😊🤗💜
