Simple No Sew Junk Journal Tutorial Video / Easy Journal DIY / Step By Step Journal Video

[@danzorig2086]

The best “no sew’ journal process that I have seen!❤️🌻☀️ I am going to make one! Thank you!

[@marlenegura1161]

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!FINALLY A TECHNIQUE I CAN DO!!!!!! THANK-YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!! GAME CHANGER!!

[@jmur8784]

I've watched a lot of videos about making altered book journals. Love the way you actually used the tabs from torn out pages for gluing in your new decorative pages. I've never seen anyone use them that way. Great idea!

[@ambieberns5198]

OMG OMG OMG….I’m so excited that I found this video, I want to make journals so bad but never know where to start, I don’t want to see them. However this is a great way to start and get into these types of journals. I love this so much thanks for sharing!

[@michellejohnson6346]

I love the idea of an easy peasy kraft paper journal to staple things into! The simple pockets for pockets to hold things is also rad!

[@deanna777]

This is completely new to me. I've never seen a book altered in this way. I'm literally starting one right this minute. Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@henriettebundesen9213]

Wow What a great way to use a book with a beautiful cover. I have had my eye on one with bees in the thrift shop, But not known how to use it. I Will go buy it tomorrow😊 I hope it is still there🤞😂.

[@stephanier2860]

This is so great- no sewing, no binding! I love the use of tape and paper bags. This is my next project. I was getting so overwhelmed with some of the other methods ( which I will still try-just at a later date). Right now I want to do something and have it turn out great and this is it! Thank you.

[@Charlievintage2808]

I CANNOT WAIT until I can travel again and use this idea. I'm in Ontario Canada and we're on lockdown...again! But one day :)

[@thriftyday]

I’m so happy you like it💞thank you so much for watching ☺️

[@chromadomino]

I am italian but I love Ontario, I have relatives and friends in Haweksbury, can't wait to visit them again!❤

[@kishia1832]

This is right up my alley…easy and fun!! Thank you!!

[@starschloneger958]

I love, love, love your video. I have torn pages out of a book with a ruler but it never occurred to me to glue paper to the flaps to make an entire page. This method makes starting a junk journal easy Peasy. I also love your book for collecting junk. So very cool!!

[@sandrahart8094]

I love this video! I have always struggled with altered books but now I won't, thanks to your tutorial. It's such a pretty book.

[@denniscox7384]

Darlene here. This has got to be one of my favorite "how-to" altered book journals. Thanks for showing. :)

[@susanferris]

I am watching this 3 years after you made it. I live 11 miles from Lost City bookstore (thanks for giving their name) and the timing of this is perfect. Today through the end of the month, they are having a 20% off sale both in store and online (in case you are interested.) The weather today (8-17) is gloomy so it’s a perfect day to go shopping for a book to make a travel journal. I am heading to Norway soon so I hope to find an old Norwegian hard cover travel book that I can make into a journal like yours. I am so inspired and just wanted to thank you for your post….even though I am 3 years late to the game!

[@thriftyday]

oh I love this!! So happy you found inspiration!!❤

[@karenguy1331]

So creative! I love it. I love my Crop A Dile!

[@michellejohnson6346]

OYI VEY! This junk journal is GORGEOUS!!!!! LOVE IT! I love the idea of keeping some of the book pages vs gutting them completely, using the portion of pages left in the journal to create tip ins with your own papers and ephemera is GENIUS. I love

[@evasochocki5209]

Thank you ! I have been looking for an easy junk journal method. I'm so glad I found you. And I love washi tape too. I can't wait to get started.

[@koungson]

This is one of my favorite ways to junk journal. It’s so easy to do. I love watching how different people approach this technique differently. I love how you added all the washi.

[@mzo707x]

I refer back to your videos to help me when I am making page layouts! love you eye for design! from N. Calif.

[@anuradhabahadur9542]

I love this! Will put it on my list to try out 📖💕

[@BetterHalfHour]

[@stacycostner3565]

That’s a great way to up cycle a book especially one that you found on your trip.

[@thriftyday]

Thanks friend! I loved the cover so much🧡

[@carolinamendeztrejos3173]

I’m definitely making one for my trip to Costa Rica next month for sure!!!

[@debbiebreen6276]

Don't worry I can't cut a straight line either, love this tutorial of reducing the pages in this big book, so easy and quick to transform this book into a lovely journal, wow, I'm impressed. Washi tape is a great way to add colour and interest to a page. That book you mentioned..altered art for dummies, I really need that book, hahahah. Love your channel, thankyou for the tutorial.

[@cosmogirlcool]

[@bonniewilson2609]

Thank you! Thank you! This video has helped so much. I will be using this method!

[@sandrahickey3593]

What a really good idea to leave flaps to stick papers onto. I've just done my 1st altered book and some of the spine looks a mess where I have torn pages out. I would never have thought if doing this. It is a much better way.

[@paulawiesenhutter6457]

How awesome is this!!! Thanks so much for sharing. Can’t wait to try it. Hooray, this is so doable and much easier than anything I’ve seen so far. Thanks again…

Thank you so very much for watching 🥰

[@melpinkbujo]

Again easy and interesting, thank you!

[@thriftyday]

You are so kind! Thank you❤

[@melpinkbujo]

@@thriftyday you are very welcome, dear 🥰

[@riapieterse5861]
