Can't wait to see how you decorate the "handbag" journal! Maybe that will be the next Met Gala look!😀

[@Maria-k0]

Enjoyed watching how you converted a brown shop bag, into a fantastic journal! 😊

[@tafkabecky]

Excellent demonstration of how to sew signatures to the spine! And I love how you used different types of paper!

[@jennifermackinnon7870]

What a great idea Eddie! Love how you use the materials that you have!!!

[@lechat8533]

Great idea, Eddie.🤓 This looks great already. I can`t wait for the next step!

[@julieparker1114]

Eddie, this is a great journal! I have made journals out of bags and never thought of doing it that way. I love it! Isn't it great that there are so many different ways to do things.

[@jennifersdoglife]

This was great to watch! It is on my list to make. Thank you.

[@PMartistStudio]

You really had in the bag on this project (hahhaha, I had to and wanted to be the first to leave that comment). Be back with more if I can. Love ya

[@EddieMakesArt]

HAHAHA!!! You cut me up ✂️ 🤣

[@elizabethfolcomer9848]

Amazing journal Eddie! I’m a bit overwhelmed as I’ve never made one before. Thank you for the tip to get a journal making kit. This is definitely going to take me down another rabbit hole. I’m jumping in with both feet🥰

[@caroloconnor1688]

Each of the folded papers are called folios. When put together as you have done, you have created a signature. You have two signatures. ❤. Love how you tackled that bag!

[@JulieTorrens]

This is a fantastic tutorial. Your cover looks beautiful. The selection of papers is very cool! I am looking forward to seeing you decorate some of the pages. Many thanks ❤ Sending love and hugs from Michigan ❤😃

[@susanasilva2737]

It's a lovely journal. Maybe i can try to do the same. I can't wait to watch how you are going to decorate it. I can take some ideas. Thanks ❤

[@lisaminglet7229]

A cat and a bag! Great recycling project Eddie.

[@EddieMakesArt]

Thank you Lisa!!!

[@karver3440]

Great journal, it will be nice to see how you decorate it☺

[@sandyfranklin1123]

Always brilliant!! My Walmart doesn’t have bags like that but one store has them with paper handles.

[@ChantelleArts]

this is so good Eddie, I love it ☺☺

[@susanbilyeu22]

fun project! and very clever!

[@CherrySignature3]

Love it

[@brian_medlock_collage]

I like it! Mcdonalds has a paper bag with yellow handles for color!

[@annina_pure_creativity]

Very cool !

[@cheryl7476]

Thanks for the great instructions, Eddie. I’m planning on making 2 of these for my granddaughters and turn them into coloring books. May even include a way to hold a small pencil and some crayons. Thanks again.

[@EddieMakesArt]

Love that!

They’re not boo boos as Bob would say They’re “Happy Accidents”

[@charmainewagner-bell2764]

Great journal project Eddie. How did you decide to put the chipboard on the inside, just curious? Thanks 🙏

[@EddieMakesArt]

thanks! I chose to put in the chipboard because I prefer a sturdier book.

[@charmainewagner-bell2764]

@@EddieMakesArt right, I wasn’t clear…I’m curious why you chose to put the chipboard on the inside and not the outside?
