Decorate the clear cover of this journal with me! 👉🏻 kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5OqYqeBntyiitEsi=zKTQAhhD63xGlJe6

[@carmencollins8178]

While sitting listening to a discussion at work (I work from home too), I was able to make one of these following your wonderful instructions. I can't wait for the day to end so I can commence decorating in it.❤ thanks Meg

[@megjournals]

Yay!

[@Jeannes1234]

This is such an interesting way to make a journal. I’ve never seen it before. I love the clear front and back covers too.❤

[@megjournals]

Aw thank you!!

[@suzannebrownbill9232]

You constantly do the best "how to make a journal" videos.

[@megjournals]

Aw thanks so much ☺️☺️

[@Xandara]

I think this is the binding I've been looking for my whole life 😂 So cool!

[@megjournals]

it's so fun!

[@AnanasAbanaan]

This is so fun! Just like everyone else in the comments, I'd never seen this sort of binding before and I tried it out yesterday. I think I'm in love. I used a bunch of papers from my grandparents old house, so it all has a very authentic old vibe 😜

[@LynneWilliams101]

Meg, this is a totally new style of journal that I have not seen before. Thank you so much for the fab tutorial and inspiration!!

[@megjournals]

Thank you so much!

[@melindamoore-vi7ke]

Love this style of journal binding. Simple but very different. And the way you showed and talked it through was great. Always, Thank You for sharing your talent. Glad to be a subscriber.

[@joycebergthold3170]

What a fun journal to make! The possibilities are endless! I learned so much, and even thought you could add another page, only glue the top and bottom and you'll have a pocket. I want to show this to my young nieces this process. They'll love it too! Thank you for sharing.

[@robbieslater1951]

L💖vE It. This is the most amazing journal idea, especially for people without a sewing machine or who want an easy to assemble process. Thank You so much for sharing and inspiring us. Have a fabulous Day Meg 📚🌈💟

[@Trueivorydesigns]

Thank you for sharing this “how to“ tutorial. What a cleaver concept. I'm excited to try it! 🫶

[@cherylknight1591]

Love this idea. I may try a larger journal not sure how it will turn out. However it does this is perfect since my machine is down at the moment. Thanks Meg

[@noreenlawlor3700]

This style of journal also is a first for me. Found the video easy to follow. Look forward to making one as I love to try something new. Thanks so much.

[@AliciaDesigns]

Hi Meg, such a cleaver technique, I think this will be my second best way to bind a JJ, with sewing being first. will definitely try it. Love it! Thank you for sharing ❤️🎉❤️

[@sonja5058]

What an awesome idea and it looks so cool with the clear covers!! I'll have to raid the recycling bin haha. Also got a bit too excited at 6:20 when the paper described a NZ tree on it - patē!

[@megjournals]

Haha! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@ИевлеваКатя]

I was Not expecting it to go in that direction, what a fascinating construction!

[@megjournals]

Hehe thank you!! :)

[@ИевлеваКатя]

@@megjournals actually i can't stop thinking about this method and the more i think the more advantages i find. Like - it combines the ease of making and bulk preventing nature of an accordeon with the more traditional look and flexibility of paper sizes of a bound journal. Since every folded page is it's own signature, you can get away with adding more things to it and it won't gape (yes i'm mentioning bulk twice, it's that important to me lol), BUT it doesn't get too monotonous with solid middle-signature one-sheet spreads one after another because this method almost mandates adding something to the middle to break them up. I need to make one of these asap i think i've just found a perfect way to make a journal! Also, i just have to ask: is gluestick any good at holding that clear plastic sheet? It's so shiny and slippery, it looks like it'd need at least superglue to hold it

[@megjournals]

@@ИевлеваКатя hope you have fun with it! there's definitely loads of different ways you can approach this binding method! as for the glue, it seems ok so far (tbh I swear by my pritt stick haha) but I might reinforce with some clear tape when I decorate it!

[@flamingo.and.co.26]

Great idea, I have lots of extra large sheet music , hinges it will be!

[@Kayenne54]

Very cool. Love it; not overly complicated but so open to being decorated in any way. Such cute little scissors; shows that you don't need much equipment to make this journal and still be impressive and I actually love the torn edges look. Lovely! I can think of a dozen ways to make that simple page binding even more decorative if one wished. P.S. Definitely going to make one, but it actually looks addictive so ... stocking stuffers coming right up... 🙂

Thanks for sharing this, I'm looking for ways to attach individual pages without punching them so this gives me some ideas. The pages are already journal sized so I'm guessing I need some extra, folded, papers, to attach to my hinge first, then add my individual sheets. Can't wait to see how it comes out😊
