PART 1: Creating a Junk Journal from Beginning to End, Making the Junk Journal Cover from Scratch

Hi there! This is Part 1 in a 3 part series about making a junk journal from start to finish. This video shows how to add make the junk journal cover. For this journal I used decoupage, chipboard, and fabric. It's a really easy method and it makes a solid, beautiful journal cover. Give it a shot and I know you'll love it!
I used the June subscription kit to make this journal, but it will work with any lovely supplies that you have. Enjoy!!

I love it! You've taken the mystery out of using fabric on journal covers. Looking forward to more on this one!

[@sallydhondt3974]

I'm so happy that I found your video Anna, it's just what I needed! I just love how you attached the closure, you're amazing!!!

[@gigidtx]

Love the ticking fabric color; very vintage looking. Really cool way to make the clasp 🌸 I like using the bookbinding plastic T guides for spacing and there are a lot of different widths. You could even make your own so the space is always the same. You could also hold a piece of the chipboard pieces in between to space for conformity.

[@annheatherton]

Yes, great idea.

So So cool! I am off to find fabric! Thank you! 🥰

[@MsSnailspace]

this is really nice Anna!!! I have used Elmers Glue for fabric and it works great! xo

[@pinkmonarchprints]

Great to know!! Thank you!

[@tammyradnai9886]

This is beautiful! I love the striped fabric. I wonder if the glue will cause the fabric to yellow over time? I’d really like to try this idea❤️

[@karastired]

You can make bookcloth with iron heatnbond and then tissue paper on the back of the fabric. This prevents the glue from seeping too much into the fabric. That way you dont have to worry about the glue messing with the fabric!

[@annheatherton]

@@karastired Great to know. I was also thinking that the closure piece might be best if covered separately and then glued to the cover later making the cover fabric application not as "tricky."
