- Are you struggling with making a good, sturdy journal cover and binding your pages into it? Tune in and let's make a journal together!
Hi Guys!
Welcome to the second part of my tutorial in which I am showing you how to make a hard cover book that can be used as a journal or an ephemera holder!
In the first part of this mini series, we made our fabric hard cover. I showed you how to make it durable and sturdy and shared some of my favorite tips and supplies. Here's the link if you have not seen this video yet!
• How to Make an EPHEMER...
Today we are going to do a few things - some finishing touches on our cover (book corners and a metal book plate), gluing in end pages, adding pockets to our papers (for those of you who are making an ephemera holder, like I am) and finally we will bind our signatures using a three hole pamphlet stitch.
We will go through all the steps together and at the end of this video you should have your journals or ephemera holders ready to use! :)
As I did under the previous video, I am listing all the measurements and supplies for you to reference, as well some time stamps in case you want to jump to a particular section of the tutorial.
Hopy you will enjoy and find it useful! Let me know what you think :)
Hugs,
Martyna

Hello dear Martyna, I’m so pleased to find you. I adore this video. I have been very unwell since last November. I’m praying to get back to myself soon. Well done.
Much prefer this way to video, showing whole process not speeding up. It allows us more insight to your process and to learn how to follow each step. Thank you. Your are a great instructor!
This is perfect to help organize all the "stuff" that needs to be handy when the creative spirit hits. I love the simplicity of the design!
So glad you liked it Diane!
“Shallow”. That’s the word needed to describe the pocket boo boo at 41 minutes.
I LOVE your videos! Thank you for sharing…including the boo boos! 🙂🙂
I love your tutorial. Don't worry if people don't want to watch all the steps. Alot of people like all the steps. It is much easier for people to jump ahead if they want. It's impossible to please everyone. Just keep doing what you do.😁
Absolutely beautiful! I also think you showed just the right amount of detail 😁
Thank you so much for showing how to make an ephemera folder.
Thank you so much. You're my favourite UA-cam artist.
Martyna, you are the best! The cover books you make are superb and your tutorials are so clear and easy to follow. Thank you so much x
This emphemera journal is so awesome! Every paper crafter should have one. I hope lots of crafters find this tutorial, it's very good. You should seriously consider offering them for sale in your shop. TYFS, Donna, in California.
I prefer the detailed description... I’m new to the process! Thank you for being so through! Using graph paper for attaching signatures is the best idea I’ve seen anyone use... and I’ve watched a gazillion videos on the process!
I just love your pick of fabric. Very beautiful. Your instructions are very good. Great job. Lin
Great tutorial, Martyna. Thank you.
Very thorough instructions and I for one appreciate and value that. Many just skim on the instructions for whatever reason and that's when I no longer subscribe! The end is just stunning!! You've given me the inspiration to try it for myself...thank you!!! xo
TFS 💜 looking forward to your next video.🌹🌻🌷😊
Brilliant! I love your tutorials- you are my favourite tutor!
You did a fabulous job I learned so much . Don’t worry about if people can understand you you speak just fine.if they are watching you they will understand. Just pay attention. Wonder job very easy to follow and great choice of paper 😀
I love the ephemera holder that you shared. As always your creations are just lovely whether they are for their beauty or whether the intention for them is functional as this book will be.
Beautiful and informative assembly. 😊
C'est une très belle idée! J'adore. Bravo 👍🤗
This was so helpful and what a great way to hold all those little pieces I put everywhere!! Thank you so much!!!
Your projects are so beautiful & I love to watch your videos. Thank you for sharing!
When someone is just getting started, as am I, the details really help.
I have loved this tutorial so easy to follow and so satisfying to do thank you so much x
I love watching your process I think by doing your videos the way you are beginners like myself might see you do something in a way we might not know how to do...thank you for doing your videos
Fantastic Martyna
I worked along with you and now ready for Second part
Cheers 🇦🇺🌸
Just beautiful! Now I want to try!
Great video 💞love the ephemera journal 💞
Very helpful and wonderful ephemera storage book thank you
Hi Martyna, I enjoy watching your videos. You are very calming and your directions are very clear. What a beautiful ephemera book. I’ve been wanting to make one or two of these and I think your video is my favourite for making one of these. So when I get some extra time, I will be following your video when I do make them. Thank you so much for sharing your process.
Great totorial. Thank you. Love your fabric.
You are really a good teacher and easy to follow. I am loving this project. Just have a few things to put in but eventually I’ll get there.
Thank you Joyce! So glad you liked it xx
Excellent. So enjoyed your wonderful tutorial. Fantastic job and beautiful Ephemera Holder. Have to find the perfect fabric as I have everything else. I have a huge stash of fabric from my mom who was a prolific quilter. She is gone now but her fabric lives on and I am sure I will find fantastic fabric in the stash. Thank you🥰🥰🥰
love the cover! TFS
Thanks again for sharing this process! I feel so inspired to create my own now! I don’t mind the lengthy videos, I find they offer more explanations and details ☺️
WOW, what a fantastic gem. This Ephemera holder is absolutely gorgeous. You do great tutorials, they are very thorough and easy to follow. You are a very good 'pedagog', as we say here in Sweden. Hope you're having a wonderful weekend. /Ditte
Aww thank you Ditte! And funny enough, a 'pedagog' is also a word in Polish so I get what you mean! Thank you for your continuous support and encouragement dear. It means so much
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Great video!! Thanks again.
Great tutorial! Thank you!
You have inspired me to start creating. I love your work.
Your directions are so clear I’m excited to make my first journal ☺️thank you...
Your tutorials are not tedious at all. I learn so much from watching real time so to speak and the graph paper to measure your holes-so awesome!! Such a time saver!
Like your idea for ephemera folder.
How clever tbis is and so pretty. 😊
Thank you Sue! 🥰
I love it. Thank you for sharing ❤️
I really enjoy listening to your beautiful accent and seeing how calm you are Martyna!! 😊
You did an absolutely awesome job on your Ephemera book ... Well done❣
Ha quedado precioso!! Me encanta
I love this idea sooo much 💕 thank you for sharing
Wonderful. thank you. On my to do list. Blessings.💓
Nice work! Personally, I like to see you doing the prep work on camera. Those of us who are newbies need to see the whole process...well I do anyway, LOL! Can only speak for myself.
Love this thank you hun xx
Awesome!
Beautiful , great video and wonderful job. Be sure to show us after you fill it up.
Thank you Gay!!
Thank you. Off to make one now!
Aha! I was waiting for your version! Thank you!
Thank you Martyna. Great tutorial. I love how your ephemera book turned out. It is just beautiful. Hugs and blessings sweet friend.
Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial. Your verbal instructions and visual instructions are very helpful. I loved learning how to cover a book with fabric.
I loved this book! So pretty and sturdy.
Thanks so much for this. I just found your channel and found your tutorials super original and very helpful. I saw the first part about the cover and was anxiously waiting for the second part. You are also so good to acknowledge others too!
Thanks for sharing with us, Martyna. Will love to make one for myself eventhough I don’t have sewing machine and I have an idea how to do without sewing it. Hugs 💙
I am so glad you did these videos. I am just cutting out small items from digital printouts and really need to contain them properly. I think your explanations were perfect and I will have no problems following along. Thank you again for sharing.
Beautiful job Martyna! Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial!♥️
Loved this tutorial...and the first one 💞💞💞. Loved listening to you and the step by step process as opposed to a speeded up version.
Gorgeous beautiful ephemera folder. You make it look so easy and your so organised as opposed to some crafters with chaotic and messy desks 😂. Thank you 💞💞💞💞
I loved every minute of it!!! Now I am so inspired to make one. Thank you so much for your precise and thorough instructions, your book is beautiful!
I have just watched part 1 and 2 while doing some fussy cutting and I enjoyed every minute. I will watch them again as I follow your process. I like that you have kept it real and shown us that going wrong isn't the end of the world because I need that reminder quite a lot. Thank you for sharing - looking forward to making my own ephemera holder. Inspiring.
thank you
Very cute! Nice way to store our hoard 😂
Love the gray n purple fabric. Thanks for all the info in your discerption box 👍
I love the graph paper idea. Can’t wait to try that. When I get ready to make my template, I always dread that part of the process.
This ephemera book, and your huge one, are wonderful. I so need to make some. I have so much ephemera and keep losing it. Yeah, I love it.
Martyna! I was so inspired that I made my own ephemera book following your lead. I’ve never made a cover from scratch, but I am very pleased with how much I learned from you and with my result. What I did differently... I made a 6 .25 w x 9.25 cover. I added 6 heavy card stock pages, each sewn i. Separately for 6 single signatures. I used plastic I bought by the yard for the pockets
This was very helpful. Thank you for sharing your talents.
Beautiful! You made it look so doable! I’m going. To give it a go!
Loved it. Your taste for papers and fabrics is so good. I loved this project. If it is suitable for you, maybe a craft corner tour, craft organization, where you buy your craft supplies kind of videos would be awesome ❤ Love and hugs ❤ Take care, be safe ❤
This is so lovely, wonderful colours.
I absolutely loved this! I've been watching several of these so I can make an ephemera book and yours is my favorite. I started my book today and got really far. Your instructions are great, thanks for not fast forwarding. I am new to your channel and am now a fan. Thanks!!
I finished my book tonight! Can't wait to fill it. Thanks again.
What a wonderful video! I love your book. So pretty. I’m sure it I’ll be a joy to use, hugs, treen 💜💜💜💜
It is SO beautiful! Just lovely! I need to make one; you've inspired me. I've collected ephemera for a long, long time, and I have so much I don't know where I'd start, but I do think it would help me a lot to keep a favorite collection near my desk all the time! I also enjoy using longer strings when I bind. Oh, you've totally got me thinking about this. Will give you a shout-out when I get mine done! ❤ xxLynn
Beautifully made thanks so much it looks gorgeous and inspired me to make my own 💖
Omgosh, I can’t wait to make this. It is beautiful and a wonderful idea.
Thank you so much for making this tutorial!! I saw someone with one of these types of books and do wanted to learn how to make one. Your video showed up within a week of me wanting to start looking for tutorials. The fabric you used on this cover is absolutely gorgeous. I really need to find this fabric here in the States. Well, maybe once we are able to visit our local craft stores again.
I just purchased you celestial digital kit, as I’d like to make something with your beautiful designs. Would you ever consider showing us how to make digital kits? I’ve looked and not really found anything that’s detailed enough. I’m sure there’s a lot of us crafters who’d love to see the process. Thanks again for all the wonderful videos. Hugs 🤗 from New Jersey
Love your ephemera book I can’t wait to make one, thank you
Thank you Melissa! 💕
Great job! I've started mine, should be able to finish this weekend no problem. Thank you!
That ephemera book is beautiful! If you saw how I slapped my first one together, you would either laugh or cringe! It works well enough and that's about it! lol You have inspired me to make another one. It will also give me a chance to practice my cover making skills! tfs
Love this❣️ can’t wait to make mine😄
Hi Martina, thank you for your designs, ideas and tips. I would like to ask you about a filing cabinet that you show already finished in the second 00:42, at the beginning of the video. There you have not used vellum and although it may not be so beautiful I think I prefer it that way because it provides more resistance and greater visibility. The question is, what material did you use? is it acetate? or, what is it ? Thanks for everything.
I love it! Your instructions are wonderful also. I do have a question, if your spine is 2 1/4 inches, how many signatures should you put in? Also, I could listen to you all day. Be safe.
Brilliant idea! Has anyone tried making the pockets with laminating pockets? I don't have any suitable vellum or polythene/packaging.
Following on... I did use laminate which was quite thin at 80 microns and my sewing machine coped with it very well, including 250gsm card sandwiched between.
I actually made pockets with laminated sheets before when I ran out of Acetate. I didn‘t use any cardstock or paper between it - only the laminating film itself. I simply ran it through the laminator. Worked quite nice and is an alternative if you don‘t have anything else😉. So far I didn‘t use a sewing machine to attach them, though. Glue worked well, same as double-sided tape😊
Loved the tutorial. Do you know what weight of vellum you used? Just approximately. Would you say it was closer to card stock or copy paper weight. I have trouble finding the heavier weight vellum and wanted to find if your was a bit lighter and how it was working for you.
Thank you dear! Mine is about 80 gsm so definitely closer to regular copy paper than card stock. I use it in my personal ephemera holder and it works great, even though I pack my pockets full :)
Teal and Tattered thanks!
What is the weight of the vellum paper used for the pockets? I see that it is available in different weights.
Hello from down under 🇦🇺 Just wondering if there a certain weight of the vellum you used?
Where do you find your book board and border cutter?
👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰
Great tutorial! Sadly, although I subscribed to your channel, I can't be notified when you post because it UA-cam says it's geared for children. Sad!
