This is adorable! A friend sent me one half composition book I’m happy mail and I went wild. I have tried to get a pack, but Walmart is out of them both online and in store. Just a note, I found the same thing on Amazon by a different maker, but be advised you only get 6 for $10. Mine are on the way! This idea can be done for Christmas memories, any gift theme! I go to a weekly craft group of 6 ladies and I can make them each one. ❤️
This video was released ONE hour ago and these comp books are already sold out...I had two in my cart and didn't check out quickly enough. 😳 I hope they restock soon. Your creations are the best Amber!😁
I wanted to share with you how I'm using these little journals. I made 40 of them as take aways for my grandsons Life Celebration coming up on the 25th. He was 17 when he decided to take his life. It gave comfort to make these as the last thing I could do for him. I made only 8 of them for males and they were more plain. I added a pocket to the front as well and included a journaling card. I also used pen clips and clipped a gel pen in coordinating colors to the front cover as well. Thank you so much for this awesome idea!! BTW Walmart is out of stock country wide of the half composition books. I tried to go back for more. Sorry I didn't take them all when I had the chance. I won't make that mistake again. You can find them on Amazon at almost twice the cost. No thanks, I'll just keep checking Wally World! Thank you again, your tutes are always so easy to follow and I've made a ton of your stuff.
Amber...I am so excited. Last year I wanted so much to make these gratitude journals for my sisters & their grandchildren, but I was unable to get the ½ Composition Notebooks @ Walmart...they were all out, & any other place wanted over $2 for JUST 1. But, I kept looking for them, & FINALLY Walmart had them online (not in the store), so I ordered 5 packs & can't wait to get to work on them. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO. :)
Thank you, Amber. I love these. I'm always looking for ideas for the Ladies at church. This will be Wonderful for them. You have great ideas. Have a Blessed day. Happy New Year. 🧨🎆
I just wanted to say a couple of things, yes, I love this idea so I bought a bunch of paper and went to Office Max to use their paper cutter to get the paper cut exactly. No. 1 make sure you have a composition book with you and I cut the paper like you said 4-7/8”. When I did this the paper needed to be cut 4-7/8 and another 1/16”. If I would have cut them without testing it first all my papers would have been a little too small. No. 2 I did go to Walmart and there were several locations in the store that had some sort of journals. I walked all over and just figured they were all sold out until I was at the front of the store and decided to walk down another aisle and found them. So plan on spending a little time to walk around the store. The first Walmart I went to didn’t have them but their customer service person looked on his phone and let me know which store had them. Whew! With that being said, I can’t wait to start making them tomorrow!
Thank you for the video! My daughter Charis means Grace bought me a small composition book to work with. Your video gave me help and ideas. Not a lot of work but nice gift! Hugs and Blessings
I actually bought 2 pkgs. of those half comp. notebks. about 2 months ago at Wal-Mart! Have been thinking of different ways to use them. Will definitely make some of these! Love your videos Amber! Thanks so much!😊
I just got my notebooks from Walmart. I learned about these first from CraftyCraftsbyDeanna. She did a cute journal book too. I love the Fall ones because I don't celebrate Christmas, I love your papers and I think these are the perfect size.
I love these! You do such a wonderful job of teaching. Easy to follow, not too technical, but not too "dumbed" down. Thank you so much. I will definitely be making these for little gifts.
I love this! I'm definitely going to see if our WM has those. Thanks so much! EDIT: I found several packs of these books at WM for $3 a pack!!! My granddaughter loves them (she's 10). I stamped little sayings on some of the pages and images on others for added interest. I did an elastic closure instead of the ribbon. These are so much fun!
I purchased some of those same notebooks at Walmart about a month ago.I had no idea what I was going to do with them, but I thought they were so cute! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this inspiration! Thank you Amber! ❤️❤️
I kid you not, I made one almost exactly like this a couple of weeks ago, pockets, ribbon closure and all. ❤️ I think I’ve seen so many of your tutorials, it just happened naturally.😂
Hello, first time visiting your channel. I love your gratitude journal and also your teaching style. I like that you didn't go to fast and that I was able to follow along with you. Thank you for this. ~~kay~~
I have never seen these little half size composition notebooks 📓😊. I know I’m going to look for them😁! Perfect for gratitude journals. Thank you for sharing🤗💕!
Did journals last year for many friends and group members - I think these will be a surprise this year. Love all the joy you spread with each video and that you tell us so many details and resources. You are one of many I have gratitude for knowing.
Love this idea! One could also use blank steno pads as well. May I ask what kind of wet glue you use & where do you get the bottle w/ the skinny needle tip? Love your channel, thanks for sharing your awesome ideas 🥰
Amber! These are so pretty and professional looking! Will you give us an idea of what to charge for such an item and other items for craft fairs? I remember you used to include this with your videos and I would really appreciate that if you wouldn't mind doing this. Thank you for all that you do!
I usually give my pricing during my craft fairs series and if I know what craft fairs I would be in. A good price point for these at a simple hometown craft fair would be $5-$7…but if you are in a big art festival or selling online in a boutique or shop, you could maybe price them between $8-$12. You could even do some stamping on the inside pages and stick some handmade book marks in the pockets. That’s what I would do. :) Hope that helps.
@@lyriclovercrafts I appreciate you going out of your way to answer me and even going further ❤️Thank you so much for this information! God bless you 🙏🏼🌈💝
Just want you to know you’re my favourite UA-camr and I get so excited when I see you’ve got a new video! I just covered a bunch of those half comp books. They’re so cool!
I absolutely love these!!! However, I'm so sad because all of these books are sold out everywhere!!!! Sold out at Walmart, sold out at Amazon. Such a fabulous idea Amber. Thanks for sharing.
Oh I’m so super excited!!! It took checking a couple of local Walmart stores, but after my oil change today I found the half composition books!! The store had a bunch, so I didn’t feel too guilty for grabbing 5 packs!! These will make awesome additions to the bags/baskets for the Wine Fairy group in my development!! 🥰 Thanks for yet another FABULOUS, budget friendly and EASY craft!!
I love your gratitude journals, Amber! You don't know this, but you are responsible for me making gratitude journals for my family and friends, affter I saw the journals you made in your fall series a few years ago. You are such an inspiration to me! Please keep inspiring all of us with your creativity! Loving your fall series and can't wait to see more!
If y’all can’t find the half journals, I saw roxyfur on UA-cam saying you can get regular ones and cut them in half or have it done at the office supply store.
💕💕it, I was wondering what to do with all the other ones I got in the Walmart pack. Wish they would sell individual. But I love the size of them. Tfs 🌻🌴
I made several of those this August. Love those sizes of books from Wal-mart. I wish I had seen your technique of wrapping the paper around instead of cutting it for covers. Thank you for sharing!
I'm new at crafting, and was wondering what you cut your paper for the front and back. The front is pretty easy to figure out, just not sure about how long the paper was to be able to fold it over on the inside of the front, & back covers. Hope this question makes sense. Tyfs! 💁🥰👍
I have never seen these half comp notebooks! What a great idea Amber. Love your crafting & I learn a lot from you. These will be on my list after I get some of the notebooks. Be well & TYFS

I love this!! We are thinking about doing a “homemade ” Christmas- no store bought gifts. This would be perfect for all the ladies!! Thank you so much
That sounds wonderful! What a great idea. :)
I love this idea, I also think if you could find a book the same size that has blank paper in it you could make Autograph books too
I can’t wait to add some ribbon on mine ❤❤❤
Clever clever, the placement of your ribbon!!!! Well done
Cutest thing ever! Half composition book no way so cute 🥰!

Another great project. I like the size of the book. Not too big. Great idea.
I started to watch this video ages ago and I just finished it. Great work ♥️🤗
I’ve been getting mine cut for years, I use the grid ones
I loved the way the journals turned out! 🩷
Thank you for the video! My daughter Charis means Grace bought me a small composition book to work with. Your video gave me help and ideas. Not a lot of work but nice gift! Hugs and Blessings
Good you mentioned left vs right. Looks like you can make some lefthanded books too
Just found your channel. Great tutorial!🥰❤️
Always great ideas. Would love to see you back on UA-cam.
I went to FedEx and had the regular size composition journals cut in half and they were perfect!
I will make the Gratitude Journals for you sister’s. Thank you for sharing.🤩💐😉🙏🏾
You can also cut the regular one with a stack cutter if your walmart doesn't sell the half one
Honey what is a stack cutter and where do I buy it?
Thanks
Oh my, have to make these. Who doesn’t need a cute one of a kind notebook 🤷🏻♀️❤️
Very nice. I really like the small notebooks.
The Staples in my area (Bowie/Laurel) Maryland no longer cuts composition or large legal pads in half.
I actually bought 2 pkgs. of those half comp. notebks. about 2 months ago at Wal-Mart! Have been thinking of different ways to use them. Will definitely make some of these! Love your videos Amber! Thanks so much!😊
Very nice.. I want to create one for Valentine’s.. 😍
