    When I cut a spine in half like that, I sew my signature into the inside half of the spine before gluing them together. Love this journal using a Kleenex (tissue) box.

      Great idea. I usually make a floating spine and sew my signatures in, then cover the inside of the cover. I recover the floating spine with flaps, and glue in.

      I love this! I've been saving tissue boxes for years but other than cutting them up for tags or journaling cards I could never figure out how to make an actual journal. You're a genius! And very funny. This has to be the prettiest tissue box ever. Never saw sny that pretty here in America. So happy to have found you. You're delightful!

    I am thrilled you made this video. Because my husband thinks I'm a hoarder of boxes, etc. What does he know? Nothing, especially when it comes to crafting, lol. I showed him the end results. Of this fabulous tissue box. He said, "Oh wow, I would have never known it was a tissue box." Well, duh, lol. He also called me a hoarder of diet coke and cereal boxes. Well, at least until he saw the 4 junkjournals I made. It shut him up real quick, lol.

      My husband has given up on me. We live in a very tiny house and he knows if I had to make a choice, I’d keep my craft supplies. I mean I love him, but seriously, he’s old and certainly doesn’t thrill me like a digital, ink pad, stamps or an empty cereal box. 😊

      @robinsutton4952 I am right there with you. I've been a crafter for over 30 years. This means I've collected a ton over those years. He's called me a crafting hoarder. I told him. Hey, if you don't like it, then there's the door. Don't act all brand new, as if it all this just appeared one day. I, too, live in a small apartment. My crafts take up a lot of my living room and an entire wall in my bedroom. I'd never rid my craft supplies for him or anyone else. This is what makes and keeps me satisfied and happy. Trust me. He would never want to see me without any of my crafts. He better run and hide. 1-2 Freddie's coming for you 3-4 you better lock your door

I love your interpretation and the fact that you went out of your comfort zone to create something from materials you would not ordinarily use. When you came to the spine part, I was thinking, “Cut it in half!”, and, sure enough, that’s exactly what you did! Are we related? 😂 Thank you, Margreth, for the endless inspiration and entertainment! ❤

Empty one was very pretty with blue lavender flowers. I brought it home thinking I could make tags or something. Turned the TV on when I got home and saw this video!! It might take me 3 yrs to get to making it as I have so many other projects on the list lol. Wrt to acetate, those in the USA can buy flowers at Target and they come wrapped in clear acetate like paper with white botanical prints! I’ve been saving those too lol. And to boot, I scored a box of inkjet printable acetate sheets at the thrift store just on Monday! I think this project needs to happen sooner as I have everything . Tfs!!!
