THAT My Friends is CLOSURE!! ... for Junk Journals of course.

[@maineiacts]

Hi Tina!! Wow!!! I LOVE your Journals!!! My problem? No printer...scrapbook papers don't seem to have what I'm looking for. So?? I have to get pretty creative sometimes!! I have to check out your box-book!! How COOL IS THAT???!! So,, being a bit of a jewelry crafter, I have fashioned my own links from copper wire with Shepherds Hook closure on the chain, which I added a big jump ring to each eyelet. One to attach one end of chsin, then the front cover eyelet to place the hook thru... Some I make with beaded links.. Kind of still tweaking ideas on that as well. I love the ripped cloth, or sewn strip closures too. Have to try those fancy metal closures. So many neat ways.. Think I might put a few smaller journals out next time I have a yard sale, and see what feedback I get... Small town, so doubt if any sell but nice to hear comments in person . Well? Hope you are enjoying your Tuesday!? Happy Crafting!! 💐🙋‍♀️👍🤗- Mindi

I've dabbled in jewelry making in the past. You may find a niche in creating "dangles" for journals. :)

[@maineiacts]

@@ideas_n_embellishments Yup!! I've thought about it...just need to try some!! Thank You!! Enjoy your weekend!🤗

Jump in!

[@Beginner_2_Pro]

@@ideas_n_embellishments I've already started! I picked up a big book of decroative paper from the dollar store and some glue! I've been using cardboard from cearel boxes as my paper to make it aless flimsy. I also make a bunch of little boxes to put inside of it too!!

[@skullingtonfly]

All your journals are so lovely. You are so artistically creative 🥰 and, you did a great job on my name. Bye from Macleay Island just off the coast of Brisbane, Queensland Australia. 👋🏼

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

Thank you so much!

[@SavvySavageBoutique]

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

I'll try to post a video. It's fun and easy!

[@SavvySavageBoutique]

@@ideas_n_embellishments Awesome! Thanks!

[@debbiebreen6276]

Love your journals, especially the little travel notebook.

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

Thanks so much!

[@amandamcintosh3076]

Oh I love all of your journals!!! Do you ever sell any of them???!

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

I'll be putting them in my Etsy shop at the end of the summer... after I retire. :)

[@katherinealpers5197]

Thanks! I was hoping to figure out how to do the hair tie one.

[@amandamcintosh3076]

Would you be willing to do a tutorial on how you make the box looking lap journals? Those are super neat looking!!!! Like from start to finish??? Lol am I asking too much😂?

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

I got this idea from Nik the Booksmith, and she has wonderful videos on making lapbooks, but I may do a tutorial in the future!

[@BellaSunshyn]

I love your 2022 ME journal that has a hole in the middle to see the signatures. I've seen Barbara having the same type. I was wondering if you have a tutorial on how to make that cover? Can you also do a flip through of that journal? I would love to see it.

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

At the present I don't have a tutorial for that cover, but I'll put it on my "to do" list. I could also do a flip-through; however, that journal is not for sale.. :)

[@BellaSunshyn]

@@ideas_n_embellishments I figured it’s not for sale. I am just really interested in what you did! It looks awesome from what I can see. Well done on making the cover, I’m a bit jealous 😁

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

@@BellaSunshyn I'll definitely do a tutorial then. It's a fairly easy process. :)

[@darleneblackwell6853]

I am Darlene. Just found you yesterday. Love your channel!!@

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

Thank you!!

[@GailSmith-y4e]

Girl if I don’t write it down immediately it’s lost! 😂

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

I heard that!

[@GloriaSkipper]

Hi Tina! I’m very intrigued by the box style journal! Is that the kit or did you come up with that awesomeness! I’ve made several journals but just basic ones and I’m ready to take on some more interesting styles!

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

This was made using a tutorial from "My Porch Prints." Here is the link to part 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3-kqnyDgqytm8U

[@christinecampbell2811]

Do you sell any of your journals?

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

I have several that I would love to sell! I put a few on Etsy last year and didn't get any interest, so I was thinking about putting several on Ebay.

[@amandamcintosh3076]

I would totally love to know when you do place them for sale!!!! ❤ they are super gorgeous! I just love your talent, the way you speak and just how you carry yourself in your videos! Thank you for being yourself!

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

@@amandamcintosh3076 Thank you so much! I plan to put several in my Etsy shop after I retire this July.

[@attacusatlas5767]

not helpful if you don't know what the closures are called and you didn't link anything 😐

[@ideas_n_embellishments]

You’re right, I should have included the names, and I’m sorry I didn’t link anything, I’m still learning!
