I just found your channel after looking for junk journal tutorials where they aren't all brown and a bit too grungy for my taste. Anyway I loved this video and your style, thank you so much and I started my own journal whilst I was watching along 💌
The Strawberry Shortcake picture is EVERYTHING!!!
I love it too🍓
❤️🌼🌸🌺🌻 I made some of these Christmas 2023 for 4 of my granddaughters. They loved them.
I prefer no sew and glue in all my books. The sewing looks nice, but I can live without it. Yours looks lovely.😊 and yes, I made it to the end; it was easy🍳
Aww thank you so much! and thank you so much fro watching😃
I'm the same way. I can take it, or leave it. But it really does look nice
Glue degrades over time due to heat and cold conditions and just simply the aging process stitching is much more permanent and durable.
Me too 😁 although, when I get a machine I suspect I'll be obsessed with machine stitching 😂
Yes please show more tutorial for inside composition book ideas.
I work on the inside of these journals every week on my Patreon Lives🥰🥰🥰
I love this! With some old hymnal pages, it would be a great prayer journal!!
I was going to use mine as a scripture journal so I love the idea of using old hymnal pages. Thanks for that suggestion.
Fabulous tutorial. I am 71 and just starting out with journaling. I love all of these simple ideas. Thankyou so much. 🙂💜💐🇬🇧
"Miss Rick Rack" 😂 The vintage beauty pageant we all need! 👑
I LOVE how you simplify the process. So many will make the same thing but make it seem daunting. And you also make sure to let us know that there are many options. Great video!
I love the fresh, clean, light-hearted look of your journals. They’re so fun. Another way to cover the front and back is with fabric, ironed on using Heat and Bond. The edges don’t ravel and the fabric takes on the feel of a cloth-bound book.
Thanks for the inspiration. I’m going to look for some kids books when I make my candy-themed journal.
A candy-themed journal is such a fun idea!
oh how fun a candy theme journal!!!
Wow absolutely love the NO SEW🤣 I too have a sewing machine but it’s too much work for me 🙋🏾♀️🤣 I love how you added the cloth trim. I have some of my mom who passed in 2021 clothes and I plan to make a journal using some of her clothes and I will probably use some of her costume jewelry to make a charm. I truly enjoy your videos and thanks for sharing.❤
I really like a no see too.
I love this video!! I do not sew anymore! I am loving junk journaling though!! Just needed ideas for junk journals that do not have to be sewn!!
I do like the no sew journals because I'm not a sewer and I don't want to miss out! I love the composition book idea
I am such a BIG BIG BIG paper crafter/junk journal person. I always loved it but the only problem was i had no idea how to make one out of the composition books lying around my house. And i’m NOT someone for sewing😅 So this tutorial seriously helped out! I’m so happy and im also going to pick up some lace from a shop nearby. There’s a lot of charms and stuff there available for junk journals. I also love how i can adjust the pictures to my taste. Thanks a lot!❤❤
I was excited when I saw this tutorial. I love how you go old school with tape and staples.
Awww thank you so much!!
You do not need a tiny attacher. They are over rated! Love your creative journal.
OH OK! IM on the fence for sure:))
Glad to know you use the friends of the library sales. I'm a volunteer for two friends groups in Los Angeles library system. I rescue so many of the vintage books with plans to create journals or find someone who would love them to create a journal with. As you know, at some point, the books might just get tossed. I'd rather see them used for journal making.
I love this too. Thank you.
LOVE THIS!! I think I’m going to make a BOHO journal in this style! I actually used to use composition notebooks for journaling, staying on track etc, but they weren’t jazzied up like yours!🤪 But now…. lol I’m going to make one!! Awesome! TFS!😘
I am so excited this is something I am capable of doing. Can’t wait to do this tonight. Thank you Leah
Just started watching your videos. Watched the sew then the no sew. Loved your ideas! Very pretty ♥️
Beautiful journal! I use a composition notebook for scripture writing but have never thought of decorating it. I'm excited! Thanks so much for showing your process!🌼
Had fun working on mine with you. Love love!
Loved it. And would love a tutorial on filling the journal too.
Thanks for showing us your process! So creative!
I’ve just jumped over from one of your other videos. ( what is a junk planner.) these are amazing, thank you so much.
Love this tutorial. Had no idea how to make one and love this no-sew version. Thank you for sharing.
My 80 year old mom started me into junk journaling. We love your videos! We both tried making the "perfect" junk journals but these composition ones are so "freeing" and much easier to make than the sewn...and we love your style! When you have time--would you please show us your "thought process" with the adorable pictures you choose for the journal covers--and the journal cover with the red frame. Did you paint the frame? How do you find the perfect pic to fit in the frame? I love how you create a theme for your books! The pictures you find are so adorable for your book covers! Thank you for these videos! Going to thumbs up each one I watch! Love them! Thank you!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
I just found your part 2! Thank you!!!!!
I love it I’m not a sew person so I love that. Thank you for the ideas. 😊
Made it to the end. 🩷 I painted a composition book cover with black gesso, I’m going to paint flowers on it and add a little title cover thingy. 🌺🌸🌺
oh I bet that will be beautiful!!
Thanks for the tutorial 🎉 I love it!!! I have started one for myself 😄
Ali Express has tons of the flower border!!!! And so cheap❤!
Thank you I prefer no sew and I adore how this looks
wonderful and thanks for watching!
This is "no sew" cute! My grand daughter (8) would love to make one with me. Thank you for adding another craft to my list of "Gotta Dos!" Lol
aww thank you for watching! So happy you like it😃
I love how the yellow rick rack matches so perfectly with the cover yellow flowers and looks great with the back cover as well. I am also a mismatched girlie for sure, both with my journals and my clothes ;)
Yes, the T. Holtz stapler does take smaller stables. I use both of my staplers. XOJANE I love this JJ. I even have a notebook like yours and will definitely try this bcause it looks so cool. XOJANE
So glad to have found you! This is just what I needed to get started with what I have. Thank you. Made it to the end. Subbed.
Hi! I just found this tutorial and it got me up and making my own. I had the composition notebook for months but never got to doing anything. Now I am almost done putting it together. I am looking forward to a fun year of glue and collage! I am trying to use up my supplies. This will use up almost all of my old washi! Thanks so much for this tutorial!
Fabulous!! Thank you for sharing !! I feel inspired ❤
So happy I found this. I want to combine a bullet journal with my junk journal and wasn't quite sure how it would work out but now I can't wait to get started. THANK YOU!! FYI: watched it twice😅
aww yay!! Love hearing it and thank you for watching!!
I really love your pink duct tape😊I like to use clear tape to add extra pages too
Oh that’s a great idea!!!!
Staples can be colored with Sharpies or some other permanent marker. Color them while they are still bunched together, then put the strip of staples in the stapler, and off you go.
I'd love to see a part 2 with pages!
I work on the inside on my Patreon LIVES every Tuesday 🥰

Getting back to paper crafting after years of being unable to so love these refreshers. In gratitude 🎉
The journal is very cute, I love it, beautiful. I like the glue junk journal. Congratulations.
Tiny attachment staples by Tim Holtz are definitely smaller than standard. I use both. Love this video.
Thank you so much. I don't have a sewing machine so this is perfect.
I’ve made a couple of composition book journals on my own without watching any tutorials. I’ve learned so many new things here. I especially love washi taped edges and adding in pages with clear tape. Thank you
oh how wonderful!! Makes me so happy to hear:)) Thanks for watching Susan 😊
Love this video. I am just starting junk journaling, and I was so overwhelmed. This video really helped me. Thank you so much. I would love for you to make more videos like this one.

Love how fast the no sew comes together, I try to have a stash of sewn ruffles but hate dragging my sewing machine out each time. I add washi to my edges too, I think it looks so pretty and adds something special. I also love ric rac I haven’t added it to any covers -that I can remember, but I will on my next c.notebook. Yours came out lovely 😊 tfs 💖
