In case you are watching this late as I am, the Kraftex and Japanese screw hole punch can be found on Amazon (US). The punch comes with 6 extra tips and is $9.99. The Kraftex comes in a roll of unwashed fabric paper (19” C 1.5 yds $14.95) or it comes as Deb shows (18.5 X 28.5” $19.95). I double checked the measurements vs. price and it seems like the unwashed is a better deal. It comes in a multitude of colors and the projects you can use it for are endless! And I’m sure you know Mod Podge can be found anywhere. Great video. Really appreciate learning about the different ways I can make a Junk Journal. Btw...you don’t have to go to Amazon for the paper clips Deb so beautifully decorates. Dollar Tree has a pack of I don’t know how many for (what else?) a dollar. I hope some time she will do a video on the lettering she uses. I love the style but craft
handicapped-including lettering!
This by far is the easiest to follow tutorial I have seen so far and I have logged in a lot of hours watching videos of tutorials of ppl making travelers notebook covers! Seriously when I saw how much they cost already made I thought it can't be that hard to make? I will just make one myself! But then the tutorials were SO complicated! But not this one!!! FYI anyone in the US or anywhere else that uses inches instead of mm I looked up the conversion and it's 263mm= 10.3" &222mm= 8 3/4" 8mm= 5/16" 131mm= 5.2" hope that helps guys!!! Good luck!!! I am about to go knock out some traveler's notebooks for gifts!!! Yay!!! Thank you
Hi there! I was so pleased to read this! I try to simplify and keep my videos as succinct as possible - that's where my idea of making Coffee Break Tutorials came from - it it takes longer than a cosy sit-down with a cuppa - it's too long! Glad you enjoyed this and I hope you make loads of them (great gifts too) :) xx
I love your voiceovers. So calm, so soothing, so smooth. Great, simple tutorial. Thanks.
Shes lovely isnt she, I've only just found her and I'm enthralled, watching every episode. Love the coffee break idea! Keep it up Deborah! Xx

I bought such a Screw Puncher for little money and it works great. I wonder, why I did not hear of this simple but helpful little thing before. Thank you for the tip and warm greetings from Germany.

Fantastic! Thankyou for so simply and clearly showing how to do this. That Kraft-Tex looks incredible stuff! This is a video I'll be keeping on my re-watch list!!
The knots called a reef knot....I learned how to do it when I was a girl guide-50 years ago! How time does fly. Really good tutorial.

New subscriber here. You are a very good teacher!
Hi Kathy and welcome to the Attic! :) xx
The knot you use is called a reef knot. I learned to tie my tie in Brownies with that knot..😊
I love it ❤❤❤❤🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Great tutorial again Deborah! By the way the Knot is called a reef knot!!!
Wow
Super
Wow great tutorial. Gorgeous cover too 🥰 did you add the off cut to the inside?
Hi Paula! Thank you and yes I did. I couldn't bear not to use the left over bits! :) xx
This is great! Thanks for posting it. I do have one question: Have you experienced any stickiness with the Mod Podge after it has dried?
Hi Sandra! No, it's never been a problem and I use a LOT of Mod Podge :) xx
This is fabulous, do you have to use the glycerine..will definitely have a go.
Hi Karen! You can skip the glycerine if you are using a light paper but for a heavier card stock, I think it is worthwhile :) xx
Is matte mod podge sticky after it dries? I know the glossy stuff is. I've had quite a few things I've made later get ruined because they stuck to something 😢
Hi - I've not had that problem, either when newly podged (is that a word?) or after a couple of years. But how frustrating for you to have that issue, I'm only sorry I can't offer any advise.
Que letra linda!
Could you go over the glycerin mix again please?
Hi Setal - it's 1 part glycerine to 4 or 5 parts water (it's an inexact science!). Use a light spray for paper and several sprays for heavy cardstock. Allow the mix time to penetrate the heavy card. When you can rumple it and squash it up without ripping it, you're done :) xx
@@AtticLane Thank you! :) xx
perfect! :-)
It's called a square knot.
and used in sailing
I can tell you a trick: With a lighter, seal the ends of the elastics, so they do not fry!
Hi there! I may try this - thank you :) xx
It's called a surgeons knot.
I know it as a square knot.
Square Knot.
FYI...your knot is called a square knot. :-)
BD Walters it’s a reef knot
Yes, but... those are traveller's notebook inserts, not bullet journals. You can bullet journal in anything but most people use a hardcover notebook with a dot grid paper.
there are as many people using dot grid as not. Watch youtube videos and you'll find great diversity in bullet journal preference.
Ok bye im broke
