Beginners Junk Journal Tutorial: Easy to Follow

[@fburky]

I always call it an art journal as I see them as a work of art, regardless of what's used to create it.

[@rebeccaday7076]

Really enjoyed this even though i have made these. I did learn a few new tricks. I lived the second one. It has mt initials on the cover. Hehe BCD.

[@gol622]

Yes I think that way about my journal too some pages may look pretty some more organic ❤

[@ChantelleBuser-hs2qj]

Me too! Agreed!

[@shondra6]

I agree also. 🤗🤗

[@karenkirk3185]

I am one impressed ART journalist 😊 I’ve spent hours upon hours of videos and tutorials about journal making and NONE have explained it the way you do! I get it now ❤ Thank you, I’m off to gather my supplies and return to make my new art journal YOUR WAY 👍🏻💕

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thants so wonderful to hear! Thank you so much x

[@annettegoldberg5126]

Thank you for reigniting my passion for crafting. I was getting overwhelmed and put all my paper crafting away. Now I want to go back and use your methods. Thank you!

[@cindyridinger8661]

Apparently YOU can teach an old dog new tricks. Enjoyed this video very much. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤

[@conniebartch9656]

Thank you for showing how to make the basic journal and great tips along the way. ❤

[@DonnaGower]

Really appreciate you going back to basics, sometimes I need a refresher to get my brain into gear

[@tonivince589]

Thank you Tracie. It’s so refreshing to relearn. And be reminded that everything does not have to be perfect. ❤❤❤

[@h.p.5836]

Wow!! I have never heard of these journals before. I have so many memorabilia from my travels and adventures through the years. My ex made me delete my FB last year and it held so many memories. I think I will work on this as a way of mending and recovering from the controlling abuse from my ex.

[@louiselill1528]

Good on you xoxo

[@kristinebrousseau8626]

Analog, handwritten letters, calenders, journals, will and have emerged in a big way. Tech/phone option apps are more of a hassle personally. It keeps me more focused and slows my mind to a manageable schedule. Plus it sparks our creative part of our 🧠 that have been ignored.

[@personalestok6693]

I love how well and fairly quickly you’ve taught the basics. Thank you and lovely journals you’ve made.

[@camiliacarrero6480]

I am not new to journal making. I've been doing it for years, but you never know how other's method can improve what we do. I watched the complete process and learned so many tidbits to make the process better and less mistakes. Thank you so much.

[@minkaf4243]

Me too!

[@suzielittonwhite225]

Tracy, thank you so much for this great video. I really appreciate the definitions, explanations and step by step directions and suggestions for making a great little journal. You're very good at explaining everything. Thanks again, you're the best!

[@jacquiposener7262]

I’m watching this for the second time because it is so so useful and all the papers are gorgeous. I’ve saved it to my watch again list so I can find it easily. Thanks Tracie!😊❤

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lynnewillis995]

Fantastic video for beginners and a good refresh for others. You explain everything so clearly Tracie.

[@AzaleaLala]

This is such a good beginner insert tutorial for a traveler's notebook.

[@melonmahfood2439]

So nice to see the basics explained so clearly!

[@shirleylaboy603]

There are no rules when journaling. Whatever you are comfortable with. Everyone has their own version of a junk journal and thats ok. Thanks for sharing Tracie. 🙂❤️

[@lisastevens2607]

Excellent tutorial ❤ Thanks Tracie 😊 xxx

[@lauracolacino4084]

I’ve made hundreds of journals, but still enjoy your beginners videos. Thank you@!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Glad you like them!

[@jacquelyndevitte4992]

I absolutely loved your tutorial. I now feel more confident at making a journal. I will watch your sewing paper one too. I look forward to seeing more of your lovely work. Thank you 🦋

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Wonderful!You got this x

[@ericastwilight]

I’ve been holding off on trying this but you really did well in explaining and it doesn’t feel so intimidating. Fantastic tutorial, now to wait for my awl and book binding wax thread. Meanwhile I need to coffee/tea dye some copy paper. Thanks for sharing!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

❤. Rilliant, I hope you enjoy making one and thank you so much xx

[@susanshowalter9707]

Very thorough and as much fun to watch and listen to as it is to watch and listen to a chef! Thank you!

[@barbarawafer94]

I have made several journals but learned some things from watching this tutorial. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

[@minkaf4243]

❤ This is fabulous! ❤ Thank you so much! ❤ Each year I’ll make my own calendar on my computer, adding important dates, and so much more. I always have fun changing up the cover and pockets. After doing this for at least five years I still learned something new watching you today.❤❤❤

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thank you x

[@lisafenn4238]

Really enjoyed this. You took the fear out of sewing in a signature for us terrified newbies. Off to watch more of your videos now. Love from Deepest, Darkest Devon xxxx

[@TracieFoxCreative]

It is pretty dark here in Suffolk too, great British Summer Time lol. You can do this. My video later today is an easy one but tools are required. I make a journal in an hour :-D. 7pm UK time. Hope you enjoy it.

[@lisafenn4238]

@@TracieFoxCreative aww thanks for replying. I'll look forward to the video at 7pm xx

[@reentjekay7597]

This is, by far, the best video about basic signature making and assembling a journal. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It is much appreciated and very helpful!💖💖💖💖💖

[@WendysJournalAdventure]

Trac, this has to be one of the best “how to make a journal “ videos I’ve seen. Congratulations 🎉, very thorough and approachable! ❤❤❤

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thanks hun, ❤

[@lynnlebedda1648]

Thank-you! Love these. You are a wonderful teacher.😁

[@joyann6914]

Amazing tutorial! Thanks so much Tracie!❤

[@Pattiemarie3]

Tracy thank you very much 19:25 I have been learning to make journals but I need to make a one signature journal this video has been very educational. Your instruction has been so clear and I appreciate it very much I hope to learn some things that I did not pick up in the year so that I’ve been doing this. I very much appreciate your style of teaching this journal and how lovely it is all the information you are giving also thank you again Tracy 😊💕🐩🎶🌺

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Ah thank you. The next video will also be a single signature, fabric cover xx

[@Butterrollboutique]

This tutorial is very thorough and simple to follow. Thank you❤

[@cyndialling8211]

So glad someone finally showed the back of the eyelet😂. I thought maybe I wasn't doing it right!

[@pounsplace1302]

Every journal is a unique creation and I believe that it came together with a passion to spend time doing something you enjoy. I love the inspiration I see as just a drop in the ocean. WELL DONE with this tutorial....viv

[@JamieLOVEUMOREJOURNALS]

Great to go back to basics. I feel like sometimes I get too caught up in the extras and that isn’t always necessary. Love you. These are great

[@layoder258]

This video is great! It's a reminder of how fun it is to go back to basics and feeds my creativity again. Thank you!

[@jeannettecheetham8883]

Thanks for sharing Tracie. It was a pleasure to watch. I did a double take when you showed the old invoices as I used to work for John Dickinson & Co. (a leading English stationery company) in Nottingham, England before leaving for Belgium over 50 years ago now!! John Dickinson himself invented a continuous mechanised papermaking process. He also invented a new kind of paper for cannon cartridges, a type of paper that did not smoulder after the cannon had fired!!! 😄😂

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Wow ❤

[@rneustel388]

I always appreciate how good a teacher you are!!

[@jackieblake1264]

This Tracie, I've been making my own journals for many years, I have to say this is the clearest tutorial I've ever seen, you explain everything so well, fantastic job 👏 x

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Wow, thank you!

[@Valeri4561]

Just a quick comment here. I am not a beginner. I've been making hard, soft, etc covered journals for nearly 13 years and I still learned a few things from this! Just so beginners know that we can always learn something new from Tracie's video's. And, I like how to the point they all are. Never too slow. Always entertaining and new things in them to discover!! Thank you Tracie!!!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Thanks so much for sharing!! :-D

[@annalba]

I always learn something new every time I see a journal tutorial. Love it Tracie.

[@athomewithmelissa8075]

You are Awesome! I love that you do the little quotes! Delightful! Thank you for the history as well as all of the wonderful tips! SO inspiring!

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Glad you like them!

[@aprilcarter749]

This was very helpful wished I had known all this information before making journals 3yrs ago. But, still love all I’ve made & gave as gifts, no one wants to write in them they always say this is art and they display them on shelves at home. TFS, your video was very helpful for me. ❤❤.

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Glad it was helpful!

[@debracarter7290]

This is an amazing tutorial! I’ve made just one before, just winging it and without really knowing what I was doing! Your instructions are so clear and mean I might actually have a clue this time around! Thank you! ❤

[@TracieFoxCreative]

Glad it was helpful!

[@janetteg210]

These journals are very beautiful, thank you for the instruction and inspiration!

[@marytaylor3675]

Tracie, this was a fantastic video for both the beginner and someone who has made a few journals. Appreciate your showing an accident or two. After all, these are JUNK Journals! ♥️♥️♥️

[@lizdrought5152]

Yes I always learn something from your videos. I learned the template paper “trick” for the holes. How easy and brilliant!! Thank you Tracie!!!

[@klaire74]

Absolutely beautiful! I love their simplicity, thank you for this interlude of "back to the basics"! And i love your blouse, made me think to a butterfly ♥♥♥

[@emmkaa2099]

Tracie, what an excellent video! I've been making journals for a hot minute now but I clearly remember thinking that I'd NEVER figure all this stuff out, let alone be able to MAKE something that anyone would want to look at. ...and that "three hole pamphlet stitch??" yeah, I thought I'd never figure that one out, but you should see me now! I still chuckle when I do it. Awesome vid and a terrific refresher. Hugs from the southern California desert, MK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗

[@milliegateley8862]

Hi. Traci, Thanks for the refresher on the journals. Been gone for almost a full year due to cancer. But I’m all good now and ready to start crafting. Missed you.❤

This is great! I never saw the point of these journals because I didn’t understand them. I once watched someone spend a very long time sewing confusing stitches to put the pages together which is when I decided this was not for me. Thanks to this video I really want to go to my room and try this.

[@TheMajmeister]

what a fabulous tour of journal making from start to finish. Even though I have made a journal or two I watched every minute of this to make sure I was following the correct way to proceed. I like the idea of making sure that you don't mix up the page order as you decorate - by simply removing a page and turning the others sideways to indicate where it goes back in. Great job as always.

[@TracieFoxCreative]
