Create a Mini Journal by folding a sheet of paper - no sew Junk Journal tutorial

I just finished setting up my little paper craft room. This is the first project that I did. I'm just starting my journey to making junk journals. Before actually making a journal I'm planning on making 'snippets' for putting in the journal. I figure I'll get my feet wet by creating that stuff and then the big thing. I haven't created with paper since my school days and that was 4 decades + ago. Always enjoyed it, so looking forward to going back to childhood fun times.

I bet, you´ ll love it. Have a great time!🤩

So cute! It kills me how you don't measure yet it always works out and looks so great. I can't get it straight when I use a ruler! You're my hero! LOL

Miss Heather, 💕 Nearly two decades ago, I learned how to make this, and made my first cut-and-fold mini treasures weeks before Christmas. My dear, beloved husband absolutely fell in love with it and encouraged me to make these for family and loved ones as Christmas cards that year. I made a pile of them, all different, however was embarrassed to send my handmade mini card/journals, wondering if family would think, "What in the world is this?" 😂 Since then, I've rarely stumbled upon videos of these precious gems. Your lovely mini journals are breathtaking!! 😲🥰 Years ago, I introduced paper crafting to my mother-in-law and sissy-in-law. It took awhile for them to understand the art, but since, they are amazing, and have FULL art studios dedicated to crafting. 😂❤ I may just go ahead and send mine out for Christmas this year. 🤭🤗 Thank you for sharing this mini tutorial! I've subscribed and cannot wait to see what other treasures you've come up with! Much appreciation from Texas, ~Christine 🙏💞

[@fionafearnley7795]

You make sure you send your Christmas cards/ journals and if they don’t appreciate them which I just know they will I would be over the bloody moon to receive one ❤

[@Christine-777]

@fionafearnley7795 Aaaw! How precious are you?! 🥰😁 If I had your address, I would be honored and over-the-moon to send a gift box with a mini treasure to you! 😊🎄❤️

These booklets would make a nice replacement for birthday cards...the recipient gets something pretty and useful.

[@cabinfevercrafts1439]

You explained this so clearly! Thank you for the inspiration.

[@Cynthia2v]

As a former teacher, I made these little books with my students when we studied explorers. Students had a template to cut and paste on the pages for names, dates, countries explored. They loved doing it. These are quite lovely, I may make some sweet Valentines for my grandchildren. Thank you for sharing.

[@aema5124]

Great idea for Valentine's day! Also cute to use for other little holiday treats like for 4th of July maybe? And for halloween!

[@cherylpollack7827]

I’m so glad I found your tutorials. These little notebooks are perfect to use up papers and add to journals 😊

[@angelasweby3991]

Seeing how you put this adorable little journal together is not only inspiring Heather, but also makes my fingers itch to have a go. It’s such a lovely way to use up tiny scraps and a handful of these would make great standbys for gifts or exchanges. I love all the little embellishments especially the prayer card and that pretty little lace motif you used on a card which acts like a tab. So many lovely ideas. Thank you. Looks like you’ve mastered your new iPhone 🥰 xx

I wouldn’t say I mastered it… a good first run! Lol Thank you Angela!

Thank you Heather. They are so beautiful. I am making a journal for my Grand daughter and filling it with decorated and undecoeated pieces to spark her creativity. I will add some blank ones of these to it ao she can decorate them herself. Love that this community shares so much knowledge. Again thank you.

I watched your composition journaling binding video and now this video and I'm so thankful and grateful. You have the most easist way of explaining. You really take your time to be sure that your viewers are comprehending. Thanks again

Love this. I actually make my annual holiday "Zine" (magazine) using this folding method, but I use an 11.5 x 17 piece of paper, so that the pages are double the size. Such a cute project! Happy Crafting Heather and Happy 2022!
