WHO would of know, when I found your videos a year ago...........that I would turn into a TOTAL JUNK JOURNAL addict?!?!?!?! You helped me threw the PANDEMIC.........and turned my craft room in my house into a "HOUSE OF PAPER, INKS, RUBBER STAMPS and MOUNDS of cereal boxes and many many journals, I AM SO VERY PROUD OF!!!! (I just made a 65th Anniversary Junk Journal for my parents. THEY LOVED IT!!!! Thank you Pam, for being you, not pretending, but being a HONEST SOUL, Sharing her Talents!!!
I've watched a few of your videos, but it just struck me, you must be a school teacher in your non art life! You are great at explaining all the little details/tricks to everything and your voice is happy and energetic! Thanks for the great tutorials 💖
A brilliant way to reduce waste and recycle. I just love the way this turned out. Beautiful, fun and as my daughter says, "Junk Therapy" Have a wonderful and crafty weekend.
Thanks so much Wilma! I am pretty sure its the other way around;) I am so blessed that you wonderful folks choose to spend your valuable time with me :) Now lets go have some fun! :)
Just found this older video.... I so love your ideas ... fixing up some plain cotton fabric! Yay can’t wait to spray some up! What fun! Thank you again for the ideas .
Just wanted to thank you for your generosity and time, and how much your videos have taught me. A big thing for me, as a newbie, is what glue to use where. Watching and listening to you has really helped me with that! Your videos are a wonderful resource. And your quirky humor and sense of fun does make me smile! Thanks for that too....we all need to smile!
I have just discovered your tutorials. I am an art teacher and my mind is racing as to how I can use these ideas in my assignments/projects. Love your humor and transparency in your teaching style.
What a super idea. I managed to get to the charity shop today and got 3 hardback books, so I will be rewatching your other video after this. I will also be putting a memo out to everyone to save their boxes for me. Loving it, thank you Pam for your ideas and help :) ~Karin~
Great idea as usual. One safety tip for those interested is to use a quilt makers glove when using a craft knife and ruler. For years I never used one but, I recently had to get a stitch or three to close a cut I got when the knife jumped over the ruler and tried to trim my thumb. I now use the guilters' glove and feel much more secure.
You are such a great teacher. You explains things so well. I can't even tell you how grateful I am to have found your channel. It's so helpful, especially for a beginner like me. 💕
Love all your shows. I don't have hardly any supplies. Would like 2 see u dying paper and the different marking u do on paper. Just order a few things from Amazon. Leaving 2 AZ 4 six wks and when I get back you have packages that I want. Thank u.
Love these, good size to slip into a purse as a 'notes and to-do' list! I can see making one for myself with mixed media, watercolor and sketch paper signatures to use as a small, easy to carry around art projects notebook. 💖
I just made a book cover from a master board using 3 book pages, decoupaged it and scored it for one signature. I’ve also made a ephemera book out of a box, ready made spine and I have 6 signatures in it. I used a dollar store small photo album pages to hold my goodies and file folders as my signatures, sturdy. Love your technique’s. 👍🦜
I did teach my class to make junk journals. We collected papers from the recycle bins in each class, and used what we collected to make books. Great for teaching math, cutting, recycling, fine motor skills, etc.
“Repositioning the eagle” 😆😆 you ALWAYS crack me up! Thank you for being a WONDERFUL TEACHER as well as entertaining and fun! I’m a new subscriber as well as new to junk journaling and I am addicted! I watch at least 8 of your videos a day!! You’re awesome! 💜👍🏻😎😊
You are great a teacher, easy to follow! Can you please show your upside-down glue bottle holder trick? Why doesn’t the glue all drip out??? Thanks, Cathy 🤔
Pam have you ever used Kraft tex to do a spine and put signatures to the spine? If so any thoughts on it and maybe you have a tutorial on it? Thanks ❤️
Hi pamaroo I dont know how I missed this vid , but watching at 3 am Friday, you have great ideas , realy like this one , I'll be making journals forever. Today been making college n cutting out gluing get, didn't start till way after dinner that why I'm up late, see you next vid si, n you can give up your day job you have good singing , but don't I dont see or hear you no more xx alanna
@@ThePaperOutpost hi pamaroo yep I can n it's real good , going round the mountain, lalala , you just made my day , gorgeous sis , I been up still cutting n thinking , omg that's hard for me , the thinking bit , lol , pamaroo thank you for being y on dont ever change a dam thing , your perfect to me , feel l i ke I known you all my 56 years. N you way younger than that so that makes me your big sis , lol I am ,I'm not skinny , but atm I dont care , my 1st look at who replied this morning is you so I'm as happy as a bee in honey all sticky , just like you when you covered in glue, you made my day now I dont care what happens for the rest, probably sleep lol I have had none. See you next vid love you Pam xxxxxxxx
A t-square works great for cutting things, also. Have you ever showed your studio? We'd love to see it. A rotary cutter would work for the fabric and the box. Another question, how is you water bottle glue holder made? Is the cap glued to the bottom of the bottle?
I have pictures of my studio on Instagram :) Have not done a vid yet on it but it is on the idea list :) The water bottle holder is good for short crafting times. The glue will leak out the bottom if left upside down for extended periods of time ;) I Left it in there overnight and the cap became stuck in the glue that leaked out so I kept the cap in there to hold the glue bottle upside down. It work a bit for a while but eventually the glue leaked out. Its not foolproof but good for short projects when the glue gets low in the bottle :)
Pam: “Narrower” is hard to say! Me: Repeat after me: “Not as wide”. ;D P.S. I only just found your channel. Love listening to your happy voice and learning new things. You’ve got a terrific channel, thank you!
LOLOLOL!! :) I like your style Peggy! Welcome to the family! I am so excited for you on your new journey into junk journals! It's a very friendly community! Come on down the rabbit hole with the rest of us and have some fun! :)Thanks for watching! :) Pam :) !!
Pam I am a very new watcher who hopes to soon be a Journal maker! I am very into Bible study and think that these small easy make Journals will be useful for making notes on individual books of the Bible. I can see myself making small Journals decorated to the theme of the book being studied. I am excited...I think Journaling may be caused by a virus!!! LOL
LOL! :) Hi Bill Hall! Welcome to the family! I am so excited for you on your new journey into junk journals! It's a very friendly community! Come on down the rabbit hole with the rest of us and have some fun! :)Thanks for watching! :) Pam :) !!
Hi Ulla, yes it will work but you may get some wrinkling of the outer paper since it is a wet white glue. My best tip is to apply it thinly and evenly :)
i've made so many journals from boxes in the past, and you know...I never thought to use cloth in the process. I know that stiffness and cracking that you were talking about, from the paper. I need to make some more of these.I have a tiny one from an empty box of Cepacol...the only perk of someone in the house getting sick :D
I bought some fabric- fix at walmart. I think it was old and started to dry out. Could you please show me what it is supposed to look like when it's good.
You make everything look so easy. I really like this little cover. I love the music that you've added. You have to be the funniest crafter ever. My cheeks hurt from smiling...especially during the duct tape demo. I love it! Thank you for making a cold winter day much happier. I am wondering what the thing is that you keep your Fabri-Fix in? Is it a permanent spot to keep your glue from clogging? I've never seen anything like that. Thank you again for sharing a great idea.
Hi Mary! Thanks! :) Its just a water bottle cut in half, with washi tape added to cover the sharp end. I put my Fabrifix bottle in it upside down while working on a project when the glue gets low in the bottle. It helps keep the glue at the ready :) But for longer storage I take it out of the bottle since the glue will leak out at the bottom :)
Thank you for taking the time to answer. I appreciate it. I am going to make that holder to keep my glue easier to use while I'm creating something!? Need to say also that I really love hearing Holly in the background.
Any suggestions for something other than tape to reinforce a spine? I like to run a zig-zag seam around the edge of my covers, and sewing over adhesive tape of any type does not agree with my sewing machine, at all! 😖🤣🤣🤣
Fabric will also work but I am guessing its the glue on the tape that may be a bother? The fabric could either be glued or possibly sewn down. I have not tried sewing it in place but it may work :) I have an inexpensive Brother machine, when the needle gets glue on it I clean it off with acetone. So far no worries but never know with other machines.
The Paper Outpost Thanks. Yes, it’s the glue on the tape. I guess i’ll stick with gluing down fabric. Thank you so much for your reply. Really enjoying your channel. 🤗🤗🤗
Just gone to get a box, and here in the UK the boxes seem to be constructed the other way round! When I ope up my box, the "spine" stays whole :) I have looked at a couple of boxes and they are the same!
I am trying to wrap my head around making a photo junk journal with some old photos of my mom and dad and their families. Could you make a photo junk journal page to give me some ideas please?
Sure, its now on the idea list! :) Until then you may like this video of a journal I made commemorating my Grandmother and grand father. there are pictures in it :) ua-cam.com/video/2NRAcMP3GgA/v-deo.html
I thought the playlist would be of the songs that you were singing! 🤦🏻♀️🤭 And I thought "awww she made a playlist of the songs!" My God! Where is my head?! 😂🤣😅 Thanks for sharing!
Hi Nancy! Thanks for your question! I believe they are the same product. I have used both and they seem identical to me. I read that the name is different based on where it is sold.
I am deathly allergic to FabricFix glue because of the acetone. Is there another glue for fabric that you like? Thank you for all your tutorials. You are the best!
Hi Holly, maybe a strong white glue like Art Glitter glue may suffice :) I have had good luck with it and fabric in most cases. :) Here is a link to see it: Art Glitter Glue small 2 oz bottle includes metal tip: amzn.to/2raZqqh So far the Fabrifix or Fabritac) seems to be the strongest I have found but other glues will work :)
Hello Pam. I just found you. I have developed an interest in junk journals and have been wondering how to make them in a fashion that will hold up. Thank you for this video. Do you sell them?
Hi Kaye Tompsett! Welcome to the family! I am so excited for you on your new journey into junk journals! It's a very friendly community!

Sally here. Once again, great video. Could you explain what the water bottle glue bottle holder is and how you made it? It looks very ingenious. I took a screen shot but I still am not sure.
LOL, sure! Its an ingenious flop ;) Its a water bottle cut in half with washi tape place over the sharp edge. Then I put my fabrifix upside down in the bottle so the glue is at the ready! The trouble is the glue leaks out a bit at the bottom. Its good for quick uses but do not store your bottle in there for long term or you will end up with a jelly blob at the bottom :)
Hi! I cut a water bottle in half, covered the sharp end with washi tape then place my Fabrifix upside down in the bottle so the glue would be at the ready. This is good for current projects when you need the glue to be at the ready but don't store the glue bottle upside down for longer periods as it leaks out ;)
Hi there! I just subscribed to your channel and am really excited to get to crafting I just have one question for now and that is what tool are you using to ink the edges? I did check your amazon list first. I’m TRYING to use my Tim Holtz blending tool but it seems too flimsy. Thank you so much for your help!! 😊
Nice! I love this - such a cute little project that seems like it could be an afternoon project. But wait...what is that trick you have going on with your FabriTac? Is this on another video?
You mean the upside down bottle? I keep it in a water bottle cut in half so the gglue stays near the bottom and at the ready. Its good for while you are crafting but don't store it in there long term. It always leaks out on me ;)
Lovely. I want some If the distress inks. I couldn't see the link can you send it to me ? Thanks I don't agree with less being more. That's an oxymoron. What one at is less is enough in so many applications
Oh ya! Sorry, I stuck the cap in the glue that had leaked into the water bottle I use to hold the glue bottle when the amount in the bottle is getting low. I put the bottle in upside down and stick it into the cap. This only good for short bursts of time wile actively crafting. If left in there for a long time the glue will leak out. I am currently trying to build a better mousetrap for this ;)
speaking of Enkidu .... Enkidu's name has been variously interpreted: as identical with the deity Enkimdu or meaning “lord of the reed marsh” or “Enki has created.” In the epic of Gilgamesh, Enkidu is a wild man created by the god Anu. After Gilgamesh defeats him, the two become friends (in some versions Enkidu becomes Gilgamesh's servant). Surprise!
I am enjoying watching you; I am however perplexed by your lack of using a ruler to measure, you just flip things over and seem to waste a little time… ?! I know it’s not a race, but surely it has to be easier and more precise than just lifting and ‘gue’stimating’! Also, isn’t it better to cover the front of the journal first so that all the salvage can be covered neatly inside? Just seems an odd and backwards way of doing something to me…I guess that’s what makes us all so individual and unique. Thank for sharing your videos with us. From an avid crafter in the U.K. ✂️📎✏️📏📕👍🏻
You’re the Bob Ross of scrap crafting.♥️

Hi Pam, love this video. Can't wait to get started on a new project. You always make me smile while watching. I also can't cut a straight line!
Hi Judy! We non-straight-line cutters deserve fun too! :)
Fantastic! tyfs :)
get the Tyvek tape made for library book mending at Amazon. It's solid white but narrower.
This is so fun!
These are fun and easy to make :)
Pam, I do that with boxes. As a matter of fact I have tons of them. I use the cut off sides as bookmarks double up for strength.
Fabulous ideas Wanda! TFS! :)

I thought the playlist would be of the songs that you were singing! 🤦🏻♀️🤭 And I thought "awww she made a playlist of the songs!" My God! Where is my head?! 😂🤣😅 Thanks for sharing!
LOL, you are too funny! :)

QUESTION: I have FABRI-TAC Beacon glue. Is there a difference from your FABRI-FIX? Love your videos, thanks so much.
Hi Nancy! Thanks for your question! I believe they are the same product. I have used both and they seem identical to me. I read that the name is different based on where it is sold.
I am deathly allergic to FabricFix glue because of the acetone. Is there another glue for fabric that you like? Thank you for all your tutorials. You are the best!
Hi Holly, maybe a strong white glue like Art Glitter glue may suffice :) I have had good luck with it and fabric in most cases. :) Here is a link to see it: Art Glitter Glue small 2 oz bottle includes metal tip: amzn.to/2raZqqh So far the Fabrifix or Fabritac) seems to be the strongest I have found but other glues will work :)

Sally here. Once again, great video. Could you explain what the water bottle glue bottle holder is and how you made it? It looks very ingenious. I took a screen shot but I still am not sure.
LOL, sure! Its an ingenious flop ;) Its a water bottle cut in half with washi tape place over the sharp edge. Then I put my fabrifix upside down in the bottle so the glue is at the ready! The trouble is the glue leaks out a bit at the bottom. Its good for quick uses but do not store your bottle in there for long term or you will end up with a jelly blob at the bottom :)
The Paper Outpost 🤣 ok. Thanks!
How did you make that glue holdin' bottle?
Hi! I cut a water bottle in half, covered the sharp end with washi tape then place my Fabrifix upside down in the bottle so the glue would be at the ready. This is good for current projects when you need the glue to be at the ready but don't store the glue bottle upside down for longer periods as it leaks out ;)
Hi there! I just subscribed to your channel and am really excited to get to crafting
I just have one question for now and that is what tool are you using to ink the edges? I did check your amazon list first. I’m TRYING to use my Tim Holtz blending tool but it seems too flimsy. Thank you so much for your help!! 😊
Hi Christina, if its not the Tim Holtz tool then it is either a paddle brush or a makeup sponge glued on to an empty spool of thread :)
I cannot get to your shop on Etsy.
Nice! I love this - such a cute little project that seems like it could be an afternoon project. But wait...what is that trick you have going on with your FabriTac? Is this on another video?
You mean the upside down bottle? I keep it in a water bottle cut in half so the gglue stays near the bottom and at the ready. Its good for while you are crafting but don't store it in there long term. It always leaks out on me ;)
Hi😍
Lovely. I want some If the distress inks. I couldn't see the link can you send it to me ? Thanks
I don't agree with less being more. That's an oxymoron. What one at is less is enough in so many applications
Hi, here is a link for a set...but on amazon you can also buy one at a time :) www.amazon.com/dp/B00CGVJ0AM/?ref=exp_thepaperoutpost_dp_vv_d
Bwaahahahahaaa! Duuuuuck taaaape! ...... e.v.e.r.y. time I touch it. But you showed it who's boss... lol
LOL, thanks! :)
You didn’t show us your clever solution for recapping you fabrifix. 👍🏻
Oh ya! Sorry, I stuck the cap in the glue that had leaked into the water bottle I use to hold the glue bottle when the amount in the bottle is getting low. I put the bottle in upside down and stick it into the cap. This only good for short bursts of time wile actively crafting. If left in there for a long time the glue will leak out. I am currently trying to build a better mousetrap for this ;)
speaking of Enkidu .... Enkidu's name has been variously interpreted: as identical with the deity Enkimdu or meaning “lord of the reed marsh” or “Enki has created.” In the epic of Gilgamesh, Enkidu is a wild man created by the god Anu. After Gilgamesh defeats him, the two become friends (in some versions Enkidu becomes Gilgamesh's servant). Surprise!
Can I breathe yet?????!!!! Pesky duck tape! 🥵. 😻x
It was a nail biter! ;)
I am enjoying watching you; I am however perplexed by your lack of using a ruler to measure, you just flip things over and seem to waste a little time… ?! I know it’s not a race, but surely it has to be easier and more precise than just lifting and ‘gue’stimating’! Also, isn’t it better to cover the front of the journal first so that all the salvage can be covered neatly inside? Just seems an odd and backwards way of doing something to me…I guess that’s what makes us all so individual and unique. Thank for sharing your videos with us.
