Tutorial | Journal Button Closure

[@martinebuis5431]

Love this tutorial. My mum learned me that if you put a toothpick or a match between the cover and the button, you can tie the string really tight. Than take the toothpick out and you have the space you need.😮

[@SharonHoerth]

That’s a great tip Martine! Thanks for sharing that!🍂

[@hazelanakadesign7071]

Glad it was helpful Susan!🍂

[@jupiterarts_crafts]

I’ve used buttons many times for closure but never thought of using another one to reinforce-that’s cool and fastening eyelet with a reinforcer before gluing for something like this. Thank you for sharing🤎

[@SharonHoerth]

I’m glad you enjoyed it Virginia. Thanks! 🍂

[@cathiespalding2083]

Love the button idea for a closure! Could I ask a dumb question….how did you cut the Readers Digest book to that size?

[@SharonHoerth]

Thanks Cathie, glad you liked it! I use a utility knife and ruler to cut through book covers. It works pretty well. I just keep slicing until I cut all the way through. 🍂

[@joycegitter1778]

Great tutorial. I like the use of the tab to hold the eyelet when you can’t get an eyelet through thick bookboard. Also love the marbled endpapers- is it a printable or the real deal?

[@SharonHoerth]

Thank you Joyce! The marbled paper is a digital by Raindrop Lila. 🍂
