I love that your last journal for the month is. A journal that can hold all the other little journals. That makes me so happy to think about it!

Thank you for sharing. I have enjoyed watching you put the no sew journals together. Pritt glue stick is also my favorite glue stick. 🌸

Thank you so much!

[@wendymontgomery9837]

Maybe a pocket on the front or back for your chunkier journal?? ❤Wendy in Australia

[@nancynorris9822]

That was a simple and cute little journal ! I started one using all brown paper bags as a base. Now I need to do something with it! TFS🤗

[@megjournals]

Oh nice!! Sounds awesome!

[@MissMacPhee]

❤ this Meg. I've watched lots of your no sew accordion journal making tutorials. I found this one most the helpful because of the larger scale. I finally got it 😂 I'm definitely going to give it a go. Thank you ❤

[@ChantelleArts]

This is such a cool idea!! 🥰

[@caroltanzi29]

Meg: I really like that idea. This is something I might try. I really like the fact you don’t have to sew. I love gluing. Thank you. Carol from California

[@sandrafisherhayes3219]

Loving this journal Meg! Busy filling up my old sketchbooks from the '90s/2000s but I will definitely make one of these! So cute 😍

[@sherrydennis2419]

Nice!

[@Gehtdichnixan876]

[@cherylknight1591]

What a unique idea and concept to use up your scrips and scraps. I will be giving this a try . You area genius. Thank you so much!

[@lisamendoza-rodriguez1968]

Love this Meg. ❤️🫶🏽❤️🫶🏽…

[@dawnbrosnan7186]

Love this! I have never used book covers but I have the perfect book cover to do this! I’m going to try this and will try to post a picture in one of your videos.

[@erlyne0]

Everything came together beautifully :o)

[@robinvogelsang5535]

I am amazed at your creative ideas for this ‘make as you go’ accordion book, I love it!! The overlapping and all the different papers make an awesome workspace to begin the last of the prompts! I think it is a great plan to keep all the journals in this hard cover book if it can work🙂👏. TFS❤️

[@megjournals]

The patchwork papers are always a fun base to work on!

[@wendymontgomery9837]

Thank you. i really enjoyed your video ❤Wendy in Australia

[@debbiereed8341]

Thank you for showing how to make this. Love how it turned out! Great idea to add the other weeks journals in it.

[@megjournals]

[@Gehtdichnixan876]

I am exited how it looks at the end

[@jayne3944]

Love this!! Especially how chunky it gets with all the little journals inside!! And using the book covers for the outsides is SOO great!! Love it so much!!

[@megjournals]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@sherryvanderpool8644]

Really liked how you used the book covers ❤

[@megjournals]

Thank you! 😊

[@anniebird248]

Really love this idea Meg of containing the other mini no sew journals in one book. Can't wait to see how this one comes together. Lovely as always.

[@megjournals]

Thank you for watching!! 🥰

[@tootsie2]

I get so excited to see your videos. They are just so much fun. Love you did an explanation of making the concertina journals. I love the idea of the old book cover. I made a cover for mine from a pie crust box covered in scrapbooking paper. I just tied it with a strip of hand dyed cheese cloth. You have been such an inspiration to me. I love these no-sew journals and like you have some I work in continuously. Thank you for teaching us. ❤

[@megjournals]

Thats sounds fabulous!!

[@marcsmellow]

this is such a creative way to do a junk journal. thanks so much for sharing the process with us 😍

[@megjournals]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@Crafting_Whimsy]

Meg, I absolutely love the accordion book inside the book cover! It really looks amazing and so finished! 🍁🧺🦃 Trish

[@annariginalmake]

[@justlm316]

Fabulous tfs❤

[@megjournals]

Thank you! 🤗

[@carolkutzdesigns]

Love this and inspired to use up some of my smaller books. New follower so I have some catching up to do! ❤

[@jillybeanstudio]

Love the twist of book covers with the accordion style. Sweet blue color too:) Really been enjoying the no sew challenge as well and what a cute bundle putting the little journals inside. Thanks Meg for the inspiration and another fun challenge!

[@hannetjieemmott7165]

Lovely, thank you

[@jenniferwatson7118]

Lovely!

[@SJ-dl6uc]

i also have that lil green Observer's book for altered book journaling. it's so cute. it's one of my fav sizes, paper colours, images. i had to redo the end papers cz the glue on the spine was crumbling. wish books had a more standardized size system w common sizes based on regions. like actual paper sizes. finding smaller books is difficult.

[@megjournals]

such a cute size isn't it! i actually found another recently at a charity shop so once i've finished this one i'll start a new one. i think it's closest to 6x4 ish/A6!

[@GrumpetteJV]

UHU glue sticks are the absolute best to use.

[@starlasell5698]

❤❤❤

[@megjournals]

thanks for watching!

[@juanamauk4166]

I looked up this book on line and it was 87.00 usd! It’s beautiful though

[@megjournals]

wow! £2 in my local charity shop :)
