TWO projects in one! Woven journal card design, PERFECTLY FIT belly bands, no waste! |

Today we take a junk mail envelope and turn it into a journal card that comes with its own small belly band. No worries about how to match it with a pocket or a tuck spot! Then we decorate with a fun weaving technique using book margins. So much fun, and great NOT to waste any paper!

This is a super cute idea! Love the whole concept but the weaving is a gorgeous element in itself 😊

[@annekenlon]

Thank you so much! I hope you have a lot of fun trying it! I have recorded (but not yet published) a "how to harvest" video, and then I saw your great ones on similar topics - we approach in different ways, so I'm glad we're all chiming in. Thanks for watching!

[@nikita3966]

That turned out really nice. I like using the scrap for a belly band. The weaving is pretty.

[@annekenlon]

[@suzyallen1726]

Hi it's suzy!!😅 Gayle agostinelli gave you a sweet shout out. I commented that I love your videos also. Hope that brings you some new subbies. Your use of the English language is melodic. I'd love to hear you read poetry to put me to sleep 😊❤ I love the weaving technique so relaxing. I love it. I was thinking wax seal but this is less bulky

Hi Anne! Gayle Agostinelli sent me….oh wait, I AM Gayle Agostinelli! 😂🤣. Another awesome Anne idea! Love the belly band! I always wonder what to do with that little piece after cutting the envelope. You’re a genius, my friend! Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas!! Big hugs! 🤗❤

[@annekenlon]

Gayle, you add so much spice to my day! Thank you! I'm also chuckling because I've notice that the vast, VAST majority of people spell your name correctly when they mention you here! That speaks volumes about their respect for you! I'm sure you have the same attachment to your Y and E as I have to my own E! Anyway, all this is such fun and I so appreciate connecting with you! Hugs to you as well!

[@carolkutzdesigns]

Love this idea…new subbie ❤ and sweet tip with the needle…I’m always trying to turn the needle to go in the pointy end when I have a short thread…why have I struggled for all these years 🤪🤦‍♀️

[@annekenlon]

Thanks, Carol! Yes, putting the needle in reverse is a good solution when I haven't planned well enough ahead! Thanks for watching!

[@cheryl7476]

Love the belly and idea, having it slip over card. I am always amazed at how beautiful leftover scraps can look. These look so nice together.

[@annekenlon]

Thank you, Cheryl! I agree, scraps have a magic all their own when they come together like this!

[@Fit_Kitty]

I like the weave look; I remember doing this for a card using ribbon (I come from the cardmaking world). Just noticing the comments and it looks like you're getting lots of new followers! Congrats and well deserved! Have a great weekend!

[@annekenlon]

Isn't it fun? Thank you so much.
