Part 2 of 2 Altered Composition Book Gratitude Journal Using Mintay Graceful

[@ginnyberg9271]

I like you showing that you don’t need experience tools. So many won’t craft because they don’t have money. Art is therapy not about how many toys you have

[@sandiweeks2946]

I love how you show crafts. I’ve been watching you for about five or six years and I love the way you deliver your your teaching you’re so easy to listen to and Watch thank you so much I praise God for people like you in the craft business and I hope God blesses you beyond and above all that you could imagine. God bless you and your family.

[@kristenb8759]

I believe one of my favorite things about you Maymay and the great tutorials you give us is that you choose to do things the way that best fits YOU; what works best for YOU and as you always advise users “you do you” instead of worrying about all those who try to say “oh you should have done it this way” or “that way” or “why didn’t you do xxxx”.... just keep doing how you want or what works for you 🙂 You take the time to provide us tutorials & content completely free and for that we are so grateful!! Please keep doing projects exactly how YOU want, we love them 🙂

[@valgrant3303]

I agree with you Kristen. MayMay is very original, and down to earth and helps us to be ourselves with our crafting. Thank you MayMay

[@sallygonzalez7257]

That strap you made the 1st part would make an awesome bookmarker for in your book

[@pennymeyer3416]

I needed a hobby when I retired, so I've watched many art/craft videos in this pursuit. As a newbie, no to scant instructions really frustrated me. Your videos are full of precise measurements & anticipate & answer so many questions I have about process. You have the best ones for these composition books by far. Thank YOU for sharing your expertise with us. I truly appreciate it!!

[@donnagiles5116]

I just simply love you. You address all people if they don’t have fancy tools. BRAVO.

[@stylesformiles79]

I think this'll be my Mother's day gift to all the ladies in my life this year. What a great idea and so beautiful. I love the Mentay papwrs!

[@judyheim6998]

I do agree on the black and so do professional interior designers. That black looks elegant and males the colors pop. Also gives the eye a place to rest.

[@kristafenstad9214]

Maymay, I am so glad I found your videos. You have given me some great ideas. Unfortunately, the Lord did not bless me with kids of my own but my two nephews recently got married and because our mother has passed away, but was an amazing cook, I'm going to be making recipe books with our family recipes for my two new nieces-in-law..🙂 as Christmas gifts!. This is such a great idea thank you thank you!

[@renetucker]

Yours is my favorite tutorial on covering the Composition pads. Your tips are excellent and I can’t wait to make one. Thank you for sharing and for free, wow! Love it! ❤️

[@rewriteministries]

I think I prefer it all to be inked, but I think it's because I love the aged look. I'm so happy to have found your channel. I love your style.

[@shicklite]

When I alter composition books I always cover the edge. I love having ribbon bookmarks - they never fall out and get lost. I simply glue a narrow ribbon or two (never wider than 1/4 inch) to the outside edge of the book and use heat and bond to attach fabric or wide ribbon to cover up the edge that's showing. It's totally worth the extra steps to have a built in bookmark.

[@Jazzyjess49]

The hand cut tag reminds me of an old (and I'm 73) radio my dad used to listen to baseball games on. Fun memory for me!

[@GingerUrban-f3z]

This is amazing. I'm going to use this same type of notebook for my idea journal . Thx for sharing ☺️

[@sherryneumyer325]

The journal is absolutely gorgeous! Anyone would love that as a gift😊

[@tambranicolekendall9288]

[@laurapereiramalone5257]

So beautiful! I tried making a alter composition books, I goofed up two and then I just saw this video 😢.. thank you!

[@lilaboss6894]

I love this so much! I was just looking to turn a composition book into a bullet journal type of thing and this fits the bill perfectly! I love how you have all kinds of little tips and tricks to help us turn out a beautiful product. Thank you very much!!!

[@phylliszailer9757]

I absolutely loved both videos of making this journal.!🥰💖

[@julienagengast2392]

This is beautiful! I wonder if there would ever be and end to me adding pockets and tags to this book. That is the FUN part!

[@lynnmiller8548]

You are such a great instructor. I love following you

[@patwaldorf935]

[@pamelakallen9630]

Thank you gor showing how to decorate a composite book.😊

[@pennienixon8393]

I don’t know how i am just finding you! This video is amazing! I’m making journals for my woman’s bible study and can’t wait to do this for them!

[@kathyfranco9372]

I'm so anxious to get started on these journals.. I LOVE the look of antique books, your technique is amazing

[@melaniecrochets]

I would love to see all these in a play list. It was hard to locate part 2

[@butterflies015]

I think if you have a circle cutout of paper you can make the first one by just drawing a half circle three times in a row. Then just cut the half circles at top. Then cut straight down to separate the markers. You can also find scalloped edged scissors to make the scalloped edged designs or rules too. Or if your good at drawing . Just draw one and cut it out. If you do more than one. You can use the other as a template for future ones.

[@jamiearrowood7566]

I applaud you! Very pretty.

[@noreenmulder5255]

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your gift with others. May God richly reward you. 💐💜

[@MsRuthK]

This is beautiful 🤩 I made several journals out of composition notebooks several years ago and gave them away as gifts but I think I may still have 2 or 3 tucked away somewhere. I wish I would have seen this video before hand to see all your neat tips but I did learn as I went and I hope they are still lasting for the people I gifted them to. I am looking forward to trying your much simpler technique as I still have a stack of composition notebooks I can use. And that pocket with the pages, is brilliant! Thank you for sharing, have a blessed day ☺️

[@christielamb2894]

So lovely 🌹 And Wonder hints/techniques for pockets, tags, closures and cover. Thank you for this wonderful video. 🥰

[@janetphelps6879]

It's amazing to watch your journal come to life. The sponged edges really made the difference - a step way up. It's beautiful. Good tips and hints too. Thanks 😊

[@OExperience-t1h]

BEAUTIFUL, I AM GOING TO TRY SOME OF THESE TECHNIQUES

[@wendywilson1736]

So pretty, Maymay.😊 I think I will make a gardening theme Grateful journal for my sister. She enjoys gardening, and she needs seeds of hope right now. She was recently diagnosed with a potentually curable cancer, but it could be difficult getting there. She may like to write down what she is grateful for. And, I have a host of stamps I havens used yet in that theme. Also, tying a bird theme in there. Birds are naturals in a garden, and she enjoys birdwatching, too.

[@karinroloff4562]

[@jennieadamsMM]

[@karenperkins7176]

I ink, inconsistently. Thanks for explaining why you use glue on the pockets! I noticed the problem of sticky pockets but never thought to use glue instead .

[@verblu8507]

[@KrissiCreates]

I just found you tonight Mayday. You popped up in my recommendations, so glad you did. I love your way of teaching, inspiring and encouraging ! I love how this turned out. Just beautiful! New sub that can't wait to follow along! Waves from Kansas 👋

[@clairegagne6906]

I love this composition book Maymay! I have made myself a sorta daily journal, but I don't write in it daily. I might miss a few days and then think "oh I forgot to write this down". I also made the front page pocket like you have & the inside cover pockets. I love the closure you have done. I just used a large clip since it was for myself. I'll be making another for myself and will do the strap closure, it's actually much prettier than the black clip. Be safe & TYFS.

[@karenanderson772]

I am new to the journaling process, but I love this process with the composition books. Going to try these out today. Love, 💘 these. What is your preferred way to stop ribbon fraying?

[@tamthaluehrs]

Hi, we use the good ole classic Fray Check, you can find that in the sewing section of most craft stores, thanks

[@renegarofalo1569]

I love this! I’m going to make some.

[@kendicoutant2117]
